Submitted herewith are the required copies of the Final PUD Plan, Final Plat and prelimi- nary ercineering drawings for the Stockade, a replat of a portion of the Centennial Valley I Subdivision. Before explaining the changes in the site plan in response to the initial planning commission meeting, I would like to reiterate some of the reasons for this replat. 1. The site plan for the Stockade creates a much more simplified street system with standard street widths and no long dead end streets. This is an advantage to both the residents and to the City of Louisville. In addition, development costs are reduced for the custaner and future maintenance costs are lowered for the City. 2. The amount of public open space to be dedicated to the City is increased to approxi- mately 4.5 acres and is in configurations making it more useable to the City (as an extension of South Park) and to the neighboring residences. We are in the process of working out an agreement with August llioco in which ne will develop the South Park City Park in time for summer softball. 3. The total number of units has been reduced from 14 single family and multi-fsvnfly dwellings to 60 single family detached tames and the lot sizes have been increased to apprcadmetel; 7000 square feet per home as compared to 5000 square feet in Cen- tennial Valley I. The resulting density is Just over three units to the acre, making the Stockade more compatible with -the other neighborhoods in Louisville. The street setbacks conform to city standards resulting in a consistent and uniform streetscape. 4. By combining individual driveways into one cannon drivecourt used by each surroun- ding residence, an attractive streetscape is created with less visual and physical Uipact on the streets. Safer environments for the residents are also created with no through traffic in the private cirivecourts. In response to several comments made by the plstnning canmi eion members at the December meeting; When preliminary approval was given to the Stockade, veral changes were made in the site plan: 1. 4eStain Enterprises. Inc. plans and hopes tc be an important participant in the City of Louisville's future by norking with City officills surd-representatives in pro- viding quality housing for present and future city residents and helping to provide tlx: public improvements necewetry for these develcpx?nts. As a result, we do not inbred to create a separate and exclusive neighborhood but rather one that integrates and connec:s to the existing surrounding neighborhoods. These connections are made through the street systan, by providing pedestrian links to the Louisville elementary •
