This PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT will utilize the natural rolling bluffs, make use of the
proposed natural area, and also meet the goals that the City Land Use Policy. This is an infill
development that is bordered on two sides by existing subdivisions, the Overlook at Woodridge
on the north, the Ridge on the east and on the south and west by the proposed city's Cathy
Fromme Natural Prairie.
'The architectural covenants and controlled architectural style of the row housing will ensure that
a cohesive environment blends with the landscaping and the neighboring natural area. This
development is designed to promote the security of neighborhood interaction and yet allow easy
movement throughout in a pedestrian manner. Most lots and living units are able to take
advantage of the views to the Southwest and also make use of the same solar orientation.
Building heights will be maintained to one level above the main entrance to the living unit
without variance. "This will sustain the open feeling of the project and allow open views.
Besides the constant awareness of the natural area on the south, open space will be maintained
throughout the site with pedestrian paths following meandering water courses down to the
natural areas. These paths will all connect and be usable by both the single family lots and the
multifamily units. These natural water courses will not only give interesting interruptions in
densities but will provide natural breaks between single family and multifamily units. The
pedestrian path will all connect to out looks next to the natural areas where residents can enjoy
the view and wild life. Landscape groupings will be placed on the comers at all street and cul-de
sac intersections.
Townhouses will own a potentially private piece of ground extending 20 feet out from the living
unit, opposite from the garage side of the house and also a 20 foot pad in front of the garage.
There will be approximately one off street parking place per unit in the townhouse areas above
the four parking places provided on each unit. Other than this, all land will be maintain open
space which will reflect the natural open space to the south in some areas and in others they may
be landscaped green areas that are close to living units and also periodically along water courses.
There will be a 20 foot wide undulating berm between Harmony Road and the living units. This
Will be land landscaped with a combination of evergreens and broad leaf trees.
