A RESOLUTION DENYING THE RIDGEWOOD WEST 6TH ADDITION PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
CONCEPT AMENDMENT TO THE OVERALL RIDGEWOOD WESTOVER PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT,
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT REVIEVI AND ZONING DISTRICT CHANGE , AND PRELIMINARY
PLAT
WHEREAS , the City of Eden Prairie has by virtue of City Code provided for
the Planned Unit Development (PUD) of certain areas located within the City; and,
WHEREAS , the Centex Homes of the Midwest, Inc . , has proposed an amendment: to
the overall Ridgewood Westover Planned Unit Development known as Ridgewood West 6th
Addition ; and,
WHEREAS , the City Council did conduct a public hearing on the request of
Centex Homes , Inc.. , for PUD Concept Amendment, PUD District Review and Zoning
District Change, and Preliminary Plat approval for Ridgewood West 6th Addition on
May 5, 1987;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council hereby denies the request of Centex Homes
of the Midwest for PUD Concept Amendment, PUD District Review and Zoning District
Change, and Preliminary Plat for Ridgewood West 6th Addition, based upon the
following findings :
A. The current zoning of the property is R1-1.3.5 and does not permit the
development as proposed.
B . There have been changes to the overall Ridgewood Westover Planned Unit
Development over the past several ,years, lowering the density of the overall
PUD in each situation, and resulting in the construction of detached single
family units within the PUD. Currently, there are no attached units
existing in the overall Ridgewood Westover PUD.
C. The property on which the Ridgewood West 6th Addition is proposed is the
last parcel within the overall Ridgewood Westover PUD.
D. Although attached units were part of the overall Ridgewood Westover PUD
originally, it has been determined that the character of the overall PUD and
the neighborhood in general , has changed in a substantial way since the
original PUD concept approval, due to the development of the PUD property as
single family detached units, exclusively.
E . Ridgewood West 6th Addition is not designed in such a manner to form a
desirable and unified environment within the boundaries of the overall
Ridgewood Westover PUD as it has been amended and as it currently exists,
being adjacent to three existing single Family detached developments within
the overall PUD boundaries.
