[Added by Ord. No. 03-1]
When a housing project consists of two or more buildings on a single parcel, subdivided or not subdivided into customary lots and streets, or where an existing lot and street layout make it impractical to apply the requirements of this chapter, the Plan Commission may approve a development plan, provided it complies with the regulation of this chapter as applied to the whole plat.
A. 
Intent. This chapter is intended to encourage residential and commercial planned unit developments offering greater creativity and flexibility in site plan design than is provided under the strict application of zoning and subdivision regulations, while at the same time preserving the health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity and general welfare of the Village. Specifically, this district's purpose is to:
(1) 
Assure that growth is planned and accomplished within the Village's goals both for the surrounding neighborhood and the community as a whole.
(2) 
Promote flexibility in design and the efficient use of land to facilitate a more economic arrangement of buildings, uses, circulation systems and utilities.
(3) 
Provide for the accomplishment of external architectural unity so as to promote design harmony.
(4) 
Preserve to the greatest extent possible the existing landscape, wetland or other environmental amenities, and utilize such features in an effective manner.
(5) 
Enhance the natural setting through the placement of man-made facilities and plant materials.
(6) 
Provide more usable and suitably located common open space than would otherwise be provided under conventional land development procedures.
B. 
Permitted uses. Uses permitted in a planned unit development may consist of one or a mixture of land uses clearly designated by type on the approved final development plan. Mixed uses may occur among or within buildings as long as the uses are compatible with each other and with planned and existing uses surrounding the PUD.
C. 
District standards. The District standards shall be as follows:
(1) 
Access. All land uses on a single parcel or on subdivided lots shall either abut on a public street or have adequate access to a public street by means of a private street. All streets, public or private, shall tie in effectively with the Village's existing street system and with those arterial and collector streets proposed in its future land use plan.
(2) 
Architectural style. The architectural style of individual structures shall be compatible with other structures in the PUD, with the overall site design and with surrounding land uses.
(3) 
Common open space. Whenever possible, common open space shall be linked to the open space areas of surrounding developments. Common open space shall be of a size, shape, location and usability for its proposed purpose.
(4) 
Density. Density shall be governed by the standards of the zoning district most similar in function to the proposed use. A residential PUD may provide up to a 25% increase in the number of units per acre if the PUD provides substantially more site amenities than are found in a conventional residential development. The character, use of existing landscape, design variation and environmental concern of a PUD shall govern the amount of approved density increase.
(5) 
Determining standards. Standards for lot area, coverage, setbacks, parking and screening shall be governed by the standards of the zoning district most similar in function to the proposed PUD use, as determined by the Plan Commission. Deviation from those standards may be permitted only if such deviation is consistent with the total design of the development, encourages a desirable living environment, and is not detrimental to the welfare of the Village.
(6) 
Exterior boundary setback. No principal building shall be set back less than 20 feet from the exterior of a PUD or a public or private street right-of-way. No commercial or industrial structure shall be nearer than 25 feet to its side or rear property lines where such line abuts a single-family use.
(7) 
Property owners' association. If not platted in a conventional manner, membership in a property owners' association shall be mandatory for all owners of property within the PUD. The property owners' association shall own and maintain all common open space and private interior drives.
(8) 
Designation of recreational trails. When possible, trails should be integrated into the PUD. Trails within a PUD will be encouraged to connect to existing or future exterior trail systems. A PUD not conventionally platted must include at least 10% common open space.
(9) 
Minimum PUD development area. At least two acres of land in single ownership or control shall be the minimum land area for a PUD. However, a site of less than two acres may qualify if one or more of the following conditions exist:
(a) 
Natural features of the land are such that development under standard zoning regulations would not be appropriate in order to conserve such features.
(b) 
The land is adjacent to or across the street from property which has been developed as a PUD and is to be developed in relationship to such prior development.
(c) 
Flexible design is needed to address detrimental site features affecting the development potential of a site such as heavily used highways, railroad tracks traversing a property, rock outcroppings, adjacent incompatible land uses, or similar site constraints.
(d) 
The site is surrounded by existing development or environmental features that prevents full public access.
D. 
Environmental review standards and design standards. In reviewing a proposed planned development, the Village shall apply the following standards, and the Plan Commission shall recommend approval of such planned development only when it has determined that the following standards have been reasonably satisfied.
(1) 
The proposal shall demonstrate an effective and unified treatment of the development possibilities on the project site, making appropriate provision for the preservation of scenic features and physical amenities of the site and the surrounding areas.
(2) 
The project shall be planned and developed to harmonize with any existing or proposed surrounding land uses.
(3) 
All buildings shall be arranged so as to be accessible to services and emergency vehicles.
(4) 
Landscape treatment for open spaces, roads, paths, service and parking areas shall be designed as an integral part of a coordinated landscape design for the entire project area, except lands donated to the Village for park or trial development.
(5) 
Primary landscape treatment shall consist of shrubs, ground cover and trees, and shall combine with appropriate walks and street surfaces to provide an attractive development pattern. Whenever possible, existing trees shall be conserved and integrated into the landscape design plan.
(6) 
There shall be an adequate, safe and convenient arrangement of pedestrian circulation facilities such as sidewalks and/or trails; roadways; driveways; off-street parking and loading space, trash removal facilities; and outdoor storage areas. All such facilities shall be designed to Village specifications.
(7) 
Materials and design of paving, lighting fixtures, retaining walls, fences, curbs, benches, etc., shall be of good appearance, easily maintained, and indicative of their function.
(8) 
Parking facilities shall be designed with careful regard to orderly arrangement, topography, landscaping and ease of access, and shall be developed as an integral part of an overall site design. To reduce unsightliness and the visual monotony of parked cars, such facilities shall be screened from public view.
(9) 
Any above-grade loading facility should be screened from public view to the extent necessary to reduce unsightliness.
(10) 
Any waterfront improvements, including bulkheads, or access to docks or floating platforms, subject to DNR regulations.
E. 
Preliminary development plan application.
(1) 
Preliminary plan. The preliminary plan shall include the following:

(g) 
Vicinity map showing sufficient area surrounding the proposed PUD to demonstrate the development's relationship to the adjacent land uses and street system.
(2) 
Application form. The application form shall include the following:
(a) 
A written explanation of the character and purpose of the proposed planned development, including: the type and density of any housing proposed; the nature and purpose of any nonresidential development; proposed method for preserving and maintaining open space, streets and parking areas; and a general statement of proposed financing for the project.
(b) 
Each proposal for planned development should be accompanied by a schedule showing the times within which each phase or segment of the PUD will be completed. Approval of any PUD by the Village Board shall carry with it approval of the time schedule for completion of each phase or segment contained in the proposal and any changes or amendments.
F. 
Procedure for review of a preliminary PUD. To obtain PUD zoning, the following procedures shall be followed:
(1) 
Prior to filing an application for a PUD Zoning, the Village shall schedule a pre-filing conference with the developer. The purpose of this would be to jointly review the proposal and consider any modifications or conditions that should be included in the application and preliminary site plan. At this time, the petitioner shall also inform the Village whether any platting of the subject land will occur.
(2) 
Following the pre-filing meeting, the petitioner may file six copies of a preliminary development plan and application form with the Village at least 15 days prior to the Plan Commission meeting. If land is being platted, a preliminary subdivision, or certified survey map if four or less lots are involved, shall be filed with the Village along with the preliminary development plan.
(3) 
Within 45 days from the filing date, the Plan Commission shall make a recommendation to Village Board to approve, approve with modifications or disapprove the proposal.
(4) 
After receipt of the Plan Commission report, the Village Board shall hold a public hearing on the proposed development. Within 45 days after such public hearing, the Village Board shall approve, approve conditionally, or disapprove the proposed PUD. Conditional approval shall be valid for one year and shall be subject to acceptance by the Village of a final plan for all or a portion of the preliminary development plan. The final plan shall incorporate all conditions and modifications imposed by the Village Board.
(5) 
If part of the PUD involves the subdivision of land into parcels for sale to individual owners, the site plan review required pursuant to this section may run concurrent with a subdivision review consistent with the Village's platting requirements.
G. 
Application for final development plan approval. Prior to issuance of a building permit, an application for final development plan approval for particular phases or for the entire preliminary PUD project shall be filed with the Village. If land subdivision is also occurring simultaneously, the petitioner will also be required to file a final plat with the application for the final development plan. These two documents need to show a consistent design. The application for a final development plan shall include the following items:
(1) 
A definite time frame for start of construction and approximate amount of time to build out the project.
(2) 
All pertinent dimensions shown to the nearest foot.
(3) 
Final grading, drainage, utility, lighting and landscape plans.
(4) 
Project or identification signs, including their locations, dimensions, height, size and illumination, consistent with the Village's Sign Code.[1]

(6) 
Bylaws of the property owners' association if one is pertinent to the project.
(7) 
Building elevation drawings, including specifications, except for detached single-family dwellings meeting required single-family residential district standards. The Village may waive this requirement.
(8) 
Before a building permit can be issued, the developer shall file with the Village a security instrument, i.e., a performance bond, acceptable to the Village. The bond shall be in an amount equal to 150% of the estimated cost of public utilities and infrastructure in accordance with the subdivision regulations, paved parking, landscaping, walkways, recreational equipment, if any, and lighting in accordance with final development plans. Such bond shall be posted for each phase as it is proposed for development. The estimated cost for termination of each phase shall be retained by the Village until subsequent phases are under construction.
H. 
Final development plan approval. Within 30 days after the final development plan is submitted, the Plan Commission shall make a recommendation to the Village Board on such plan as to its conformity with the preliminary development plan, fulfillment of all required items and continued compliance with findings required for preliminary development plan approval. Upon receiving the Plan Commission's recommendation, the Village Board shall either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the final development plan. If approval is granted, a PUD permit shall be issued to the developer by the Village, and if conditions are involved, such conditions shall be made part of the permit.
I. 
Filing of final development plan. Upon approval, the Clerk-Treasurer shall certify two copies of such plan, with one plan filed in the Clerk-Treasurer's office and the second plan recorded in the Waupaca County recorder of deeds office. Such plan shall be drawn to a scale of 40 feet to one inch or larger. The dimensions of such plan shall not exceed three feet by four feet. In case of a large plan, two or more sheets may be required. If so, the sheets shall be numbered.
J. 
Final development plan changes.
(1) 
Any significant changes in the approved final development plan may be made only after Plan Commission and Village Board approval. No changes in the final development plan may be made unless they are shown by the developer to be required by changes in conditions or circumstances not foreseen at the time of the final plan approval. Any significant changes shall be recorded as amendments to the approved final development plan. Minor changes and adjustments to the final site plan may be approved by Village administration.
(2) 
In the event that any portion of such time schedule in the approved final development plan is not met, the developer may submit a written request for an extension of time, delivered to the Village Board, at least 20 days prior to the expiration of the buildout date. The Village Board may, for good cause, extend the previously agreed completion date. The petitioner has no limit upon the number of time extensions requested.
(3) 
If the developer fails to satisfy any phase or segment of the completion schedule within 20 days of the expiration date, or within 30 days of an extension denial by the Village Board, said phase or portion of a previously approved site plan associated with the PUD shall become null and void.
K. 
Termination of final development plan approval.
(1) 
If final development plan approval is given to a developer and thereafter he wishes to abandon the plan, the developer shall notify the Village in writing.
(2) 
If the developer fails to commence the development within 18 months or upon a finding by the Plan Commission that there has not been substantial progress, as indicated by installation of utilities or completion of 5% of the proposed floor area, such final development plan approval may be terminated after public hearing by the Village Board.
