Generally in these situations, the city looks to acquire properties like this. Finding that the ability to maintain and manage these type of features is to the community's long-term benefit. And if you look at a city map, you'll see a lot of these type of properties are owned by the city. Rarely is a situation where the city pays for them. We look for the developer to give those to us to protect that kind of character that we need prairie appreciate so much.

So, it's important from a commission standpoint that you're not evaluating this project based on what you liked about the other project, but what is in front of you today because everything reverted back to the original rural zoning and kind of the configuration that the property is now.

However, we haven't seen the evidence. The city of Scissor tells me there's really no evidence to support a new development and infill type situation negatively impacting property values.

So, there will be homes visible where there isn't any now. However, what they're asking for isn't out of character for a 9 R1 9.5 zoning district.

The developer though is using some of their their tree replacement requirements and putting trees along the north property line here and then also along the west property line.

So, it may have been accidental, but it it appears to me as though we're offering those neighbors more visibility between homes, having more lots with standard sideyard setbacks than fewer lots with standard sideyard setbacks. Accum we're accumulating more open space by having more lots.

So, we're excited about it. I think that we had a great neighborhood meeting too with the neighbors and I am meeting with them in a week or so on a Sunday afternoon to talk about tree removal and screening and so forth and so on. So I've dealt with issues like this in the past and we will definitely address this in this particular case.

So to make lots bigger and addressing Ed's comments, you know, just to be bigger, we did stable path, you know, we had certain setbacks and stuff and I don't think it looked congested by any means, but it was affordable and they sold quickly.

As far as the engineering portion of the project, sanitary sewer is pretty straightforward. There's access on Dell Road and on Canopy. water the same bell road and canopy. So, it's served well.

Comparing this project to the Marshall Gardens project, they had 115 total units. We're at 50 total units, 22 of which are we're calling the single family. And they're the bigger, wider lots. And the 28 villas, we've been calling them villas, but they're technically single family, I believe, too. But they're 55 feet wide.

So, we've asked for a waiver to go to 9% on the garages. Our target, these are not age restricted, but our target market for the villas are empty nesters, or people that are fully retired or even older, 70s, 80s. That's who we're selling.

So, even though the lots may be narrow, they are actually quite deep and we're it gives us a lot of flexibility, backyards and things like that.

So, our rams will have a basement, but that is a floor plan and a design that a lot of clients are looking for these days because a lot of them are those young empty nesters and maybe they've been in their existing home for quite a period of time and they're looking for something that allows either main level living, lower maintenance, newer construction, you know, modern mechanicals and all of those things.

My wife and I moved here from Minnotonka to Eden Prairie about six, seven years ago. We love the community. We picked the right place.
