THE COURTYARDS AT MIRAMONT
The Courtyards at Miramont is an 11 acre parcel within the Miramont Overall Development Plan. It gains
primary access from Boardwalk Drive with secondary access to future development. from the extension
of Rule Drive.
The site is contiguous to existing development and is adjacent, to the Collinwood Assisted Living Facility
on the east, a planned future neighborhood park on the south, and approved Tennis Center to the
northeast and proposed Oakhill Apartments P.U.D. to the northwest. The property wraps around a
drainage/irrigation pond located along Boardwalk Drive providing an amenity to the development. Great
care has been given to provide maximum exposure to the pond, future park and adjacent open space
while preserving solar access to 84% of the lots. Pedestrian paths are provided around the pond with
internal connections to the street system.
The proposal incorporates 46 single family detached patio home lots on 9.0 acres for a density of 5
du/ac.. This density is appropriate at this location and is consistent with the approved ODP. It provides
a transition from the single family areas west of Boardwalk Drive to the more commercial and higher
density uses surrounding the site. Private streets are planned at28' widths with designated parking areas
for guest. Each home has a two car garage and a driveway deep enough to park two off street vehicles.
A density of 5 du/ac at this location is supported by the following policies contained in the Land Use
Policies Plan.
75. Residential areas should provide for a mix of housing densities.
78. Residential development should be directed into areas which reinforce the
phasing plan in the urban growth area.
79. Low density residential uses should 'locate in areas:
a. Which have easy access to existing or planned neighborhood and
regional/community shopping centers;
b. Which have easy access to major employment centers;
C. Within walking distance to an existing or planned elementary school;
d. Within walking distance to an existing or planned neighborhood park and
within each access to a community park; and
e. In which a collector street affords the primary access.
The development is being proposed by Albrecht Homes who will also be the builder. A homeowners
association will be established for maintenance purposes of the open space and to preserve architectural
continuity. The plan illustrates a.phase one preliminary and final on lots 1 and 2 at the entrance on
Boardwalk Drive. Final approval of these lots will allow models to be constructed this summer while
development proceeds on future phases.
