SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
All of Colliers Hill is bounded by Erie Parkway on the south, WCR 5 on the east, and the RTD right-of-way on the north and west. The part of the property where the main amendments are propposed is Tract 11 of the Bridgewater Master Subdivision and Tract E of Colliers Hill Filing No. 4C, and is located on the soutwest corner of WCR 5 and WCR 10. It is alslo locatd northwest of Erie Parkway and WCR 5. All of Colliers Hill is approximately 965.83 acres in size, while the main portion of the amendment is 64.49 acres. The area is currently zoned LR - Low Density Residential and ER - Estate Residential with PUD Overlay.
The properties that make up the Bridgewater (Colliers Hill) area were annexed with the PUD overlay into the Town in 2007. The original Master Plat was approved in 2011. Multiple Final Plats have received approval since 2011. The first amendment to the PUD was approved in 2011, and divided the planning areas into different Villages, established park and school areas, designated housing types, and added street design criteria and clarified dimensional standards. The second PUD amendment was approved in 2013, and added architectural standards for single-family detached dwelling units. The third amendment was approved in 2015 to shift the location of the school site, and readjust the villages accordingly. The fourth amendment was approved in 2019 and created a new village, adjusted the dimensional standards, and created architectural standards to facilitate a duplex development.
The PUD amendment proposes to modify land use areas (Villages), land use types allowed in the areas, and quantity of dwelling units in the areas as follows:
1. Village 4 and Village 13: The planning areas of both Villages have been increased a total of 25 acres. Both Villages have maintained their use classification of SFD - Single Family Detached. However, the smaller Patio Home lots of 3,500-5,000 square feet in the current PUD Village 13 have been eliminated and the proposed Village 13 is now designated for standard single-family detached size lots of 5,000-6,000 square feet.
2. Village 14 and Village 15: The Village 14 and Village 15 planning areas are currently 42 acres in size; the proposed amendment reduces the planning area by 28 acres to 15 acres. Village 14 is currently 33 acres designated as townhome or duplex dwelling units; and, Village 15 is currently 9 acres designated as apartments. The proposed Village 14 in PUD Amendment 5 is 15 acres designated for duplex, townhomes, or apartments.
3. Village 16: Village 16 will become Village 15 in PUD Amendment 5. The 13-acre size of Village 15 is not changing however, the number of apartment units allowed has increased from 225 dwelling units to 350 dwelling units.
Also, the PUD Amendment request proposes the creation of architectural and dimensional standards for a multi-family development (apartments). Lastly the amendment would update all of the Bridgewater PUD boundaries to accurately reflect all plat revisions.
