(3) Written statement of character of the planned unit development. An explanation of the character of the planned unit development and the reasons why it has been planned to take advantage of the flexibility of these regulations. The written statement shall include:
(a) A specific explanation of how the proposed planned unit development meets the objectives of all adopted land use policies which affect the land in question;
(b) Ownership: a statement of present and proposed ownership of all land within the project including the beneficial owners of a land trust;
(c) Development scheduling indicating the following.
1. Stages in which the project will be built, including the area, density, use, public facilities, and open space to be developed with each stage. Each stage shall be described and mapped.
2. a. Any planned unit development that includes portions to be developed as other than residential must as a condition of approval provide a plan, including bonding that assures that the nonresidential portions of the development are completed in conjunction with the residential development.
b. In a development that is to be completed in stages or phases a second or subsequent stage or phase of residential development may not begin unless and until an equivalent portion of any nonresidential development has been completed.
c. In a development that does not propose stages or phases, not more than half of the residential development may be completed before an equivalent portion of nonresidential has been completed. Subsequently, not more than half of the remaining development may be completed before an equivalent amount of the uncompleted nonresidential development must be completed.
3. Projected dates for beginning and completion of each stage.
(d) Proposed uses:
1. Residential uses: gross area, architectural concepts (narrative, sketch, or representative photo), number of units, bedroom breakdown, and proposed occupancy limits for each residential component; and
2. Nonresidential uses: specific nonresidential uses, including gross areas, architectural concepts (narrative, sketch, or representative photo), and building heights.
(e) Facilities plan: preliminary concepts and feasibility reports for:
1. Roads;
2. Sidewalks;
3. Sanitary sewers;
4. Stormwater management;
5. Water supply system;
6. Street lighting; and
7. Public utilities.
(4) Traffic analysis. If requested by the Zoning Administrator or the Plan Commission, a study of the impact caused by the planned unit development and any measures proposed to accommodate that impact may be required.
(C) Site plan requirements. The application for site plan approval shall include, but not be limited to, the following documents:
(1) Such additional information as may have been required by the concept plan approval;
(2) An accurate map exhibit of the entire phase for which site plan approval is being requested, showing the following:
(a) Precise location of all buildings to be constructed, and a designation of the specific use or range of uses for each building. Single family residential development on individual lots need not show precise locations of buildings on each lot, but plans shall show setback and other bulk constraints;
(b) Design and precise location of all streets, drives, and parking areas, including construction details, centerline elevations, pavement type, curbs, gutters, and culverts;
(c) Location of all utility lines and easements;
(e) Tabulation on each separate subdivided use area, including land area, number of buildings, number of dwelling units per acre, type of unit, bedroom breakdown, and limits on occupancy.
(3) If lands to be subdivided are included in the planned unit development, a subdivision plat meeting the requirements of a preliminary plat, as modified by the concept plan approval, is required where platting is to be done concurrent with the site plan approval;
(4) Projected construction schedule;
(5) Agreements and covenants which govern the use, maintenance, and continued protection of the planned unit development and its common spaces, shared facilities, and private roads; and
(6) (a) Guarantee of performance for completion of improvements. A bond or other guarantee acceptable to the town shall be provided for all required improvements and shall be executed at time of permit application or platting, whichever comes first.
(b) Types of guaranteed improvements.
1. Improvements that must be guaranteed include facilities which shall become public, and may include other facilities or improvements as may be specified in the concept or site plan approval.
2. If the project is to be built in phases, the guarantee shall be posted prior to the commencement of work on each phase.
3. The guarantee shall specify the time for completion of improvements, and shall be in an amount of 125% of the estimated cost of the improvements.
