Re: The Lakes at Valley West Phase 3 PUD Concept Plan and Subdivision Pre-
Application Plan, combined submittal package
Dear Brian:
Please find enclosed the Development Review Application forms, fees and materials for
the above noted project. Phase 3 of the "Lakes" is located adjacent to the west
boundary of Phase 2 and continues the same compact lot style, use of woonerfs and
open space concepts as were approved in Phases 1 and 2 of The Lakes at Valley West.
Phase 3 will share the same covenants and bylaws and will become incorporated into
the "Lakes" Home Owners Association.
Because of an excess parkland dedication completed by Phases 1 and 2, no parkland is
proposed in this phase. As a result there are no park plans associated with this phase.
Based on the 54 dwelling units proposed, a dedication of 1.62-acres would be required.
However with a surplus of 2.94-acres from Phases 1 and 2, it appears that there are still
1.32-acres of park available for assignment to future phases (2.94-ac — 1.62-ac = 1.32-
ac left). It is noted that additional parkland is available from the overall Valley West
PUD which will be utilized on future phases of The Lakes at Valley West.
The housing mix will be similar to the approved Phases 1 and 2. At this time, five lots
within the phase are anticipated to have accessory dwelling units, the specific lots will
be identified with the Preliminary Plan. There will be a mix of detached and zero lot
setback units. Additionally, the following lots have been identified as being potentially
suitable for zero lot line setbacks; Lot 13 through Lot 37 and Lot 45 through 54.
Phase 3 will continue the perimeter open space corridor concept that was started with
the previous phases. It will create another north-south open space corridor thorough
the center of the project. This corridor connects the west side pond with other
pedestrian facilities. All totaled, the 5 open space parcels proposed in Phase 3 add up
to 2.9-acres.
Westgate Avenue aligns with its name sake north of Durston Road. Westmoreland
Drive connects to Phase 2 and extends into undeveloped properties to the west. Both
of these streets are to be placed in 60-foot rights-of-way and will be built to local street
standards. Their intersection is proposed to be a traffic circle, similar to the existing

traffic circle in Valley West. The woonerfs, Arnhem Way and the stub in the south west
corner (Alley "A"), will be built in 32-foot rights-of-way and feature a 17-foot driving
surface and concrete borders to accommodate parking and pedestrians.
A more detailed, combined narration describing both the PUD Concept and Subdivision
Pre-Application submittals is provided on the following pages. Also included with the
application materials are the PUD relaxation and supplemental subdivision information
waiver requests.
