1 June 27, 2016 Letter of Intent West Prairie Village Replat No.1 West Prairie Village Replat No.1 is a re-plat of Lots 152, 156, 207 thru 237, 250 thru 257, 260, 266 thru 275, Outlot 19 and Outlot 20 of West Prairie Village First Addition. Since West Prairie Village is a Planned Development an amendment to the General Development Plan is required. Street right-of-ways have been modified, a private alley has been eliminated and various easements will need to be vacated. Documents have been prepared and are included with this submittal which outline the areas to be vacated. The re-plat includes 55 single-family lots and 1 outlot. The main reason for the re-plat is due to what we feel is an artificial manmade wetland in the vicinity of Lots 140 thru 150 and Outlot 6. Outlot 6 is a storm water management facility that was constructed in The facility was designed, permitted, approved and constructed according to regulations and a wetland delineation in place at that time. The construction of the storm water management facility created an embankment which now traps water on the upstream side. This trapped water is now considered wetland by the Wisconsin DNR. The utility plan submitted with this application shows the extents of this wet area. Longview Parkway and the adjacent lots are severely impacted by this manmade wetland and so these manmade wetlands essentially stop further development of single family lots in this area. The re-plat and specifically the addition of Pintail Place south of Blue Heron Boulevard allows for the improvement of the next group of lots, see phasing plan. Outlot 19 in the current plat is a private alley intended to serve lots along Blue Heron Boulevard. Due to the manmade wetlands and 75 wetland buffer Longview Parkway cannot be constructed at this time. Outlot 19 cannot then be constructed either which makes the Lots along Blue Heron Boulevard unbuildable. The Developer has also found the marketability of alley fed homes to be quite difficult. For these reasons the private alley has been eliminated in the re-plat. The GDP Amendment documents outline the specific modifications in the re-plat. One of the modifications is to the main building corner lot side setback. This setback is reduced from 20 to 15. This amendment allows the home builder to fit a standard model of their homes on these six corner lots without requesting a variance. This applies to six corner lots only, which are less than seventy five feet wide. A utility plan and phasing plan have been provided. The site can be served by sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer, storm water management and existing roadways. The current proposal includes three phases of construction with thirty nine lots proposed this year, Phase 4. The phasing plan indicates two more phases of construction in 2017 and 2018 but this is wholly dependent upon resolution of the artificial wetlands matter.

2 We ask for approval of the re-plat and GDP Amendment. Along with these approvals to initiate proceedings to vacate the requested street right-of-ways, outlot and easement.
