The Preserve at Sunset Lake - new development in Hugo

New, proposed development in eastern Hugo and Mahtomedi Schools. This parcel is 137 acres with 13 proposed lots and shows how land can be developed at a smaller lot size than is allowed in the zoning code. These parcels are classified as rural residential according to the City zoning map, which is 1 parcel of land per 10 acres. As you can see, most of these lots are less than 10 acres. However, if you take the total acreage of 137 acres and divide by the number of platted lots (13), it works out to a density of 1 lot per 10 acres. The City allows this because it satisfies the density requirements per the zoning code. Additional land is set aside as an outlot or common space. All lots are required to have a minimum of 300 feet of road frontage either on the road and cul de sac that the developer is building or on 120th Street. Lot prices are from $250k - $379k with the builder Parent Custom Homes and sold by Edina Realty. The development has been approved by the City council.
