Use this packet to present a proposed PUD to city staff for guidance on its general suitability and consistency with the comprehensive plan; the conference is informational, not an approval or denial. The packet lists submission materials and includes an escrow agreement, applicant responsibility statement, and affirmation of sufficient interest. Lake Elmo requires a pre-application conference for PUD applicants, and the city says no development right is granted at this stage.
Who needs it
