Park West developer seeks PUD rezoning; includes fire station pad and trail connections
Summary
Applicant presented a petition to reclassify a C2 parcel to a planned-unit development (PUD) at Calumet Avenue near 100th Ave, promising a pad and utilities for a future town fire station, trail connections and up to 160 custom townhome units (not to exceed request). Public hearing to be requested in May.
A petition to rezone a Calumet Avenue parcel from C2 to planned‑unit development (PUD) — presented at the April 2 Plan Commission study session as “Park West” — includes plans for custom townhomes, a dedicated fire station lot and trail connectivity, the applicant said.
The applicant (presenter identified in the record) told the commission the site plan leaves an 80‑foot buffer from existing nearby homes and positions several lots facing Calumet Avenue. “This lot is a fire station lot that is going to be deeded through the town for the future construction of a fire station,” the presenter said, noting the developer intends to fully improve that lot with a pad and utilities so the town can build when ready.
The proposal calls for two builders and “custom townhomes” at a higher price point than recent local product. The applicant said the PUD request will ask for “not to exceed 160” units; the presenter cautioned that engineering and detention requirements typically reduce the maximum unit counts during detailed design.
Connectivity measures include extending a bike trail through the property to link Saddle Creek and Providence Bank and providing sidewalk and trail connections where feasible. The developer said written commitments, PUD guidelines and drawings are included in the submission packet and that the team will ask the commission to set a public hearing in May.
Commissioners and staff discussed existing water mains and the need to loop new mains as part of future subdivision engineering. The applicant acknowledged the town and staff will confirm loop connections and finalize the utility layout during the subdivision engineering phase.
No formal action was taken; the applicant said paperwork for a May public hearing will be filed and the PUD request will later be followed by subdivision and engineering review.
