SHENANDOAH P.U.D. PLANNING OBJECTIVES
The Shenandoah P.U.D. is a preliminary submittal for a portion of the Shenandoah ODP, which
amends the previous Ridgewood Hills ODP. This portion is in the southeast corner of the ODP
and contains 95.66 acres. This proposal includes single family, multi -family, office park, day
care, and a private park containing a historic barn.
The residential portion contains 117 single family lots and 18 duplex lots on 36.0 acres with a
density of 3.75 d.u. / ac. A 459/o solar compliance is obtained. Due to site constraints, a variance
request for solar orientation will accompany this P.U.D. submittal.
A 5,000 s.f day care center is conveniently located on the corner of two streets to provide
service to the surrounding neighborhood. A tract is being reserved next to the historic barn for
the use of a small private neighborhood park and/or recreation area. A use for the barn has not
been identified yet, but the applicant fully intends to preserve it in accordance with any
necessary state or federal regulations as determined.
An office park on approx. 7.0 acres contains 6 buildings, with about 10,000 s.f. in each building.
Due to the unique topography in this area, a terraced, walkout approached has been achieved.
Each building allows entry on both the one-story `high' side and the two-story walkout side. The
parking lots and drives accommodate the drop in grade by stepping down across the site. A
series of retaining walls and bermed areas will be landscaped with a variety of plantmaterials.
Two street connections are provided to Ridgewood Hills to the west and Victoria Drive will be
built as a collector loop down to County Road 32. This phase will take its primary access off of
Victoria Drive.
A series of bike/pedestrian connections are utilized throughout the site with several connecting
to the west.
This proposed P.U.D. is supported by the following land use policies:
12. Urban density residential development usually at three or more units to the acre should
be encouraged in the urban growth area.
14. Urban development standards shall apply to all development within the urban growth
area.
74. Transitional land uses or areas (linear greenbelts or other urban design elements) should
be provided between the residential neighborhoods and commercial areas in order to
enhance the concept of a mixture of land uses.
75. Residential areas should provide for a mix of housing densities.
