HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes PC 11-20-18 Susan Westermeier: Before PUDs existed,the options for this would be S-1,or ask for a rezone. What did we do prior
to this? Tim Ochs: You would have to pursue a Variance from the BZA and then file for your plat approval or rezone.
Susan: Are you more comfortable with this being a PUD then doing an S-1 with variances? Alexia: Yes,we are
comfortable with the PUD because you get more architecture standards and buffers that aren't normally required.
Susan: I want to see the density reduced and the lots made larger. The entrance off of Ditch Road is too close to the
roundabout. We will ask more questions about drainage and traffic at the Residential Committee
A motion made by Josh Kirsh,and seconded by Susan Westermeier to send Docket No. 18100001 PUD to
Residential Committee on December 4,2018,with final approval for Full Plan Commission

are in support. What's really important to the residents is the amenity center trigger date. There's no trigger date until
the PUD is completely finished. I support this going straight to Council.

proposed exceed those that are required today in the existing ordinance. Josh: Does this pool meet the needs? Jon:
Paul Rioux, from Platinum Properties,analyzed the size of pool that is required. The pool is 1900 sq. ft.which is a bit
larger compared to other similar neighborhoods. This will satisfy the needs of the neighborhood. Josh: Bike parking?

developer feels is necessary to accommodate additional development in this area.
