Subject: RE: Woodhall subdivision, truck turnaround
Hi Angie and Members of the Subdivision Committee.
I must be in DC this evening for a meeting an regret that I will miss tonight's subcommittee meeting. I did
review the agenda and offer the following:
1. Woodhall. Thanks for a "gate" proposal on my very first case back! I don't have a copy of the
submission, so really cannot comment on the specifics. Angie and Ramona, please forward one. I
would note, however, that the department has identified several significant issues for discussion. I also
urge caution anytime a petitioner is proposing several waivers, as is the case here. Andy standards
exist for a reason, and its policy must be considered carefully when a waiver is requested. That is
compounded when multiple waiver requests.
2. Dapper: I see no concerns beyond those identified in the committee report.
See you all in two weeks.
Thanks,
Dan Dutcher

Thanks for calling to discuss this issue. 1 understand that your plans were complete before the utility layout was finalized and that
changes are still being made to the layout and easements. I am acceptable with modifications to the landscape plan not being done
until after the subdivision committee meeting because things are still in limbo. Just as long as we address this before the final
landscape plan is approved and locked in by the plan commission. This all can be made to work togethei', we just need to have
everyone looking at the same page to make it happen, If you have any questions, please let me know.

Greg, I drew these plans before the final engineering was done. After they finished we realized we had some contliets. 1 have been
waiting for final comments from committee to finalize the planing details and will be making the necessary changes to accommodate
your standards. 1 have been in touch with Lance and will be calling you to confirm I haven't missed anything before T prepare the final
drawings.

have a pipe, there appears to be landscaping directly over the proposed regulated drain. This is not in compliance with comment #8 of

Angie and Carol
since the drainage issue between Windemere and Woodhall had been brought to light, I have
looked into the issue and communicated w~th the engineer to come up with a change that
should help the drainage issue in Windemere. The engineer for woodhall has changed the
drainage system to pick up all the drainage runoff from Woodhall, with the exception of
the 2 acre nature preserve area. This will result in a decrease of 5.5 acres that
currently drains toward windemere (see attached) and this results in a significant
decrease to the flow to the Windemere drainage system. While the 2 acre nature preserve
area will remain a direct runoff from the Woodhall site into Windemere, with the
vegetation and land use it will remain in,the discharge is very minor and is in
compliance with our required developed drainage release rates for the 10 year storm event
but is double what we would allow for the 100 year storm event (see red text below from
engineer). Our recommendation is to leave this nature preserve area as direct runoff, as
the discharge is relatively small and it would cause substantial damage to that area to be
able to capture all the runoff from the nature preserve. Also, this area is accounted for
with the design of Windemere and should not cause any burden to that drainage system.
The table below summarizes the allowable, existing, and proposed nature preserve
discharges contributing to the east. The nature preserve are less than the allowable
discharges. The contributing drainage west of Windemere subdivision is approximately
7.5 ac. The Woodhall development would reduce drainage west of Windemere to 2.0 ac or by
approximately 70%. The lO~yr storm for the existing conditions has a discharge of 4.5
cfs. The 100-yr storm for the proposed nature preserve has a discharge of 1.2 cfs, which
is 70% lower than the 10-yr existing discharge.

While this is still preliminary plat and complete detailed information will not be
submitted until construction plan review, this does give me enough information that I can
make this work when we get to that point. I do not have any issues with this being
approved now so it can move on to the next step in the process.
Carol ~ While this will help the issues in Windemere, I would not go as far as saying it
will fix the problem. Some of the problem is cause by Windemere residents and only they
can help themselves with that issue. If in the future people don't think the drainage
system is working properly, have them call us and file a drainage complaint, then we will
investigate further. I stipulate that with the storm system not working properly, not a
swale being blocked so the runoff can not get to the storm system.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Greg Hayes

Subject: Woodhall subdivision - pedestrian path language
Attachments: example.pdf; laurel Ridge landscape.pdf
Cc:
Hi, Joe: the committee asked that I research further the gates requirement that states "public pedestrian and bike access to and through
the site must be provided without obstruction".
An excerpt of the meeting minutes from the 01/03/2006 committee meeting regarding the ordinance amendment for criteria for gated
communities is below:
Joe Calderon asked jf it was enough to have it in the Covenants and Restrictions that these are private streets and that the
Homeowner's Association would be assessing the Homeowner's annually to provide maintenance for their maintenance. He clarified
that the petitioners would not be required to produce a budget. He clarified that as far as public pedestrian access, as listed in 6.03.26
number 1, the expectation was to aI/ow the public entry via bike path or pedestrian walk path. He said that it wouldn't truly be gated
except from automobiles. He said that he thought that by providing the paths around the perimeter for continuity that would be enough.
Discussion ensued about availability and access in proposed gated communities.
Rick Ripma said that the reality is that gating is there for privacy but also for security. He said that he didn't think that there would be
many joggers or bicyclists robbing homes. He said that the gates only provided a certain amount of security anyway.
Also, an excerpt of the Meeting minutes from the 03/21/2006 plan commission meeting regarding the ordinLlnce amendment for criteria
for gated communities is below:
Carol Schleif asked about the language regarding obstruction for pedestrian access at gated communities.
Rick Ripma responded that there would be no gate on the pedestrian access.
Mark Rattermann made formal motion to approve Docket No. 05120002 GA, Z-486-06, as amended (as amended by City Council)
Patch VI - Ordinance Amendment, seconded by Leo Dierckman, Approved 8 in favor, one opposed (Ripma.)
It is clear that the ordinance amendment was drafted to mean that anybody could enter and pass through - not just residents. All
neighborhoods must be accessible parts of the bike/trans system, regardless if they want, or have, gates for cars. Also, it is very anti-
accessible to older residents, and the handicapped fo open/maneuver through a pedestrian gate - regardless where these people live.
. ..There are "clever" ways to do pedestrian/bike entrances, and not advertise it. Please see attached exhig.Lt.
Also, a rendering found in the Laurel Ridge subdivision file is attached, which shows public pedestrian and bike access to and through
the site without obstruction.

Based on some discussion with a resident of Widemere, we are addressing some concerns with
the drainage. Usually, we do not have enough information to truly deal with the drainage
at preliminary plat and we focus more when in gets to CDs. But since I have been working
with this resident, we are looking at things a little more in depth at this point. I will
be meeting with this resident, Scott Brewer, the developer, ahd the engineer on Friday
afternoon to look at this more. This likely will generate some more information and more
detail being added at this stage, but nothing too ffiajor. Other then that, we have no
problems with the preliminary plat and project getting approval. If you have any
questions, please let me know.

Per the plan commission subdivision committee's request, please let me know if you are
satisfie~ with the layout of this subdivision regarding the drainage and street
layout/road right of way. Much discussion occurred last night about the drainage of water
toward Windemere subdivision to the east, and how common area C did not have any type of
drainage directed away from windemere.
Also, please let me know if you have any outstanding issues with this project or its
design.

Our guidelines stipUlate that we will not enter cul-de-sacs. In addition the depth of this cul-de-sac is less than
1/2 mile which is within our allowable distance for students to walk to a bus stop. It will be our intention to locate
the stop location for buses serving any students residing in this development at the entrance to the
development at l06th Street: The applicant states that the "guardhouse" can act as a bus stop. This implies that
the bus will enter the cul-de-sac; as noted above we will not enter the cul-de-sac. Additionally, the radii of the
"round-a-bout" at the gate house are not sufficient for a standard size school bus to maneuver safely. It is
imperative that sidewalks be provided for safe student walking path to the bus stop location.

accessible parts of the bike/trans system, regardless if they want, or have, gates. Also, it is very anti-accessible to older
residents, and the handicapped to open/maneuver through a ped gate - regardless where these folks live.
I guess it could be argued that if the street is private, then the sidewalks etc. could be too. . .. but the intent was to leave it
open so that it could add to the community network of bike/ped transit options.
The street, and sidewalks need to be built to city requirements, even if they are going to be private - as at some point the
association will most likely petition to have it turhed into ROW (and the mayor's policies are to accept all ROW grants).
I hope this helps. When I was there we had 2 subdivisions that had gates, and permitted free flow ped traffic on either
side of the gates There are "clever" ways to do it, and not advertise it (the City gets the connection, and the developer
gets to sort of hide the "openness").
A chicane design (as attached) is what some folks used.
Good Luck!

Subject: gated communities - recent ordinance amendment
Hi, there! I have a question about one of the criteria for a gated community that was adopted into the zoning ordinance
back when matt worker here. It states: public pedestrian and bike access to and through the site must be provide without
obstruction.
Does this mean that a subdivision can have a brick wall around it, but must have openings to the public pedestrian and
bike access get traverse within the subdivision, OR
Does it mean that the subdivision only must have a pedestrian path that runs in front of it, along the street, and there are
no public access gates into the subdivision for bikes & walkers.
The reason I ask is this - Woodhall subdivision is proposing mini gates/doors for pedestrian/bikers of the subdivision, so
that only the residents of the subdivision can enter/exit the gate.
Any comments you have would be greatly appreciated. I will also look at the meeting minutes of this ordinance
amendment.

Subject: woodhall subdivision - defining custom builder
Hi, Joe: the committee asked that I send you the language that the developers ofWestmont were asked to use
when defining a qualified builder (custom builder),
An excerpt of the Meeting minutes from the 03/29/2007 committee meeting forWestmont PUD is as follows:
A lengthy discussion was held regarding the definition of custom homes and custom homebuilders. The
Committee requested that "custom" be clearly defined. Publicly traded companies would not, in Committee
opinion fall into the custom builder category. Several companies and builders were discussed. The Cornmittee
lovas quite clear that production builders would not be appropriate for this area. The petitioners outlined some
of the builders they were expecting to build within Westmont. Most of these builders build less than 100 homes
per year. Sameness of home design was also discussed. The Committee asked for some assurances that all the
homes would not be alike. Steve Pittman indicated that they will have a velY stringent review process, and that
with the architectural guidelines that will be in place, he is confident that this will not be an issue, One
suggestion was to have a "builder guild" of 1 0-12 builders. By making that commitment we will not let any
other builders in, but we will sell to the general public with the stipulation that they must choose one of the
guild builders. This would give the public a choice of whom to build with. Another stipulation being
considered is that a home must be built within 18 months of purchase of the lot.
A final determination was made that it would be possible for one builder to build all 80 fl. lots, although the
builder would still have to build less than 1 00 homes ver vear, All other lots will be built by multiple custom
homebuilders, but will be restricted to a certain number of lots and who also build less than 100 homes per
year.
The end result was this phrase added to the final info packet and committed to:
Qualified Builders: Revisions were included to provide that the only builders allowed to build within Westmant are
builders which have built fewer than 100 homes per year for the last 5 years.

Subject: RE: woodhall subdivision - defining custom builder
Angie,
Just for the record, custom homes are ones that are designed and built for a specific site, and the plans are not
re-used multiple times. I agree that this is what production home builders do, and that is what we don't want.
The 100 homes per yeal' is a measurement of volume by a builder, not whether a home is custom or not Any
builder tan and do reuse plans multiple times in a development and still be under the 100 homes per year limit.
(Because of this, we have already included a definition for custom homes in the Design Guidelines.)
In the meantime, for Woodhall maybe we could word it such that "no two hoUses are alike in with regard to
elevations and massing." If they are truly custom homes, this shouldn't be a problem for the petitioner.
Also, Scott Brewer, Greg Hayes (county surveyor), myself, and hopefully the Woodhall folks are going to meet on
Friday at 1 :30 on Friday at the site to look at drainage. Greg is still in not willing to let them ignore drainage on
any part of their site. I also found out why they could not give us a good reason for not taking care of their own
rainwater run-off: Apparently the owner has stipulated that the preservation area must not be built upon, as a
condition of the sale. It has nothing to do with saving trees or open space. They also said that they plan to have
a garden there, so they didn't want to take care of drainage there. In this case, they should probably hire a
landscape architect. Jeff Butz at Landscapes Unlimited is not licensed as an LA. I'll suggest it to them Friday and
see what happens.
Could you pass this along to Rick & Jay?
Thanks!
Carol

1. We have added 10' asphalt path to the west side of entrance which was moved towards the east due to
some concerns about site distances. We then added short 5' asphalt path to east side of the said entrance
to match into the existing path in .front of Windemere subdivision.
2. Added ADA ramps at cross walks.

of financial guarantee would be involved in the standard listed as number 6.
Rick Ripma said that in the past, the Homeowner's association was required to bring in enough
money to do any roadwork or maintenance that would have been required.
Joe Calderon asked if it was enough to have it in the Covenants and Restrictions that these are
private streets and that the Homeowner's Association would be assessing the Homeowner's
alli1ually to provide maintenance for their maintenance. He clarified thatthe petitioners would not
be required to produce a budget. He clarified that as far as public pedestrian access, as listed in ~
6.03.26 number 1, the expectation was to allow the public entry via bike path ~~p~.Qestrian walk ~

Joe Calderon said that he felt that, with the 60 foot stacking area, one size doesn't fit all and he
wanted to remind staff of that. He asked about the 6 ft. perimeter wall height noted in number 7.
Discussion ensued about maxil11lUn wall heights and the process of approving the perimeter wall
height.
Rick Ripma asked if the Committee and the Plan Commission could review and approve the
perimeter wall height. He asked if it should be eliminated.
Adrienne Keeling suggested that the perimeter wall height be subject to the approval ofthe Plan
Commission and that the language be included in this ordinance.
Joe Calderon said that on 6.03.27 Walls that he trunks that some wood features would be nice and
recommended a change in the language to read that, "no wall or fence which abuts an arterial,
parkway, or collector roadway shall be constructed primarizv of wood."
Susan Westenneier asked why this provision was included.
Adrienne Keeling responded that it was an attempt to avoid the alley affect.
Rick Ripma said that he agreed with adding "primarily".
Docket Number 05120002 OA: Patch VI, Chapter 6.03.20: Private Streets-Street Layout and
Design Standards was forwarded back to the fun Plan Commission with some proposed verbiage
changes relating to the Perimeter Wall Height mentioned in 6.03.26, line 7 and to 6.03.27 Walls
and with unanimous consent.
