WHEREAS, U.S. Home Corporation (dba Lennar) ( "the applicant ") has requested
reclassification of the zoning from RSF -2 (Single Family Residential 2) to PUD (planned unit
development) for a 266.57 -acre parcel, legally described as follows:
See Attachment A
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing
and recommends approval, and;
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted an ordinance rezoning the affected parcel from RSF -2
to PUD;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORCORAN, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does support the request by Lennar for
the reclassification of the zoning from RSF -2 to PUD for the 266.57 -acre property, based on the
following findings:
The planned unit development is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed density of 3.30 units per acre is within the 3 -5 units per acre expected in the
Low Density Residential land use classification and the plan incorporates the trail, park
and street connections anticipated within in the site.
2. The planned development of 426 single family homes is consistent with the intent of the
underlying RSF -2 zoning district. The applicant is requesting design flexibility to provide
a mix of lot sizes for this single family neighborhood at a density consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
3. The development is not in conflict with other applicable provisions of the zoning
ordinance, except that PUD flexibility is requested as noted in the staff report. In
exchange for this flexibility, the developer will provide both internal infrastructure needed
to support their development and trunk infrastructure improvements that will serve a
larger development area and well as increased amenities and better design.
4. The planned development is feasible as a without dependence upon any other
subsequent phase. The project has a 9 year phasing plan and development is
contingent upon completion of trunk infrastructure improvements.

The planned development will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets
and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned
development. The developer is providing public park land dedication in excess of
ordinance requirements and is also providing a private park for the use and enjoyment of
Ravinia residents. The development includes the construction of all public infrastructure
needed to serve this site at the developer's expense.
6. The planned development is a single family residential neighborhood developed
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and, therefore, will not have an undue and
adverse impact on the reasonable enjoyment of the neighborhood property.
The quality of the building and site design proposed by the PUD shall substantially
enhance the aesthetics of the site, shall install and provide more efficient use of streets,
utilities and public facilities than may otherwise be expected and shall create public
benefit that is greater than would otherwise be achieved due to the dedication of
additional park land, land for a future water tank and construction and financing of all
related infrastructure improvements.
8. Adequate infrastructure is available to serve this site if the conditions of PUD preliminary
plan and preliminary plat are met.
