EXPLANATION
L
GENERAL BACKGROUND
lomana Land Development is the contract purchaser of approximately 20 acres of real
estate located on the west side of Shelbome Road, just north of 121 st Street. The real estate is
outlined on the aerial photograph included in this informational brochure.
Indiana Land Development has filed a request to change the zoning classification of the
real estate, from the S I classification, to a PlID District classification to pennit the development
of the real estate as an upscale residential community. The conceptual plan, included in this
informational brochure, allocates the real estate into its 40 single-family residential lots, open
space, and internal streets. The custom character of the proposed community is illustrated in the
included PUn Ordinance, landscape plan, tree preservation plan, and illustrations of single-
family residences.
Approximately 18% of the proposed community will be preserved as open space. An of
the parks are linked through the community by sidewalks along the residential streets. A
neighborhood park near the entrance greets residents and allows for a large tree preservation
area. Additional tree preservation areas are located to the south of the property where they have
been incorporated into landscape buffer yards.

as follows:

3. In Section 5.3, provisions defining custom homes were included;
4. In Section 5.3, a provision was added requiring that chimneys, located on the

3.1
This Ordinance is a comprehensive planning and design development
tool intended to insure that the community infrastructure is an integrated system,
and will be a guide for the work of land developers, design consultants, builders,
and the City in such a way that development, though incremental, does not
become fragmented.
The neighborhood has an identifiable node that can be a small community park,
square, "tot lot" or open space.
The design ofthe streets is key to a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood design. This
pedestrian-friendly design will be achieved through the connectivity of (a) a
walkway from each residence to the public sidewalk(s) located within the Right-
of-Way of each street within the neighborhood; and (b) public sidewalks to the
10' -wide perimeter trail along Shelbome Road and the park/tree preservation area
in the southeast comer of the neighborhood to the perimeter trail. Streets are
shaded by street trees to create an environment that favors the pedestrian and
encourages bicycling. Front porches are allowed as an architectural feature on
residences to provide an open living room to encourage neighborly conversations
and add interest to the street.
Permitted Primary Uses and Intensities: Permitted uses are defined below:
Permitted Primary Uses (Residential Uses permitted as listed below)
. Detached Single Family Dwellings
. Accessory Dwellings
