DEPARTMENT REPORT
APRIL 9, 2002
4. Docket No. 10 -02 Z; Village of West Clay Rezone
The petitioner seeks approval to rezone an area on the West side of Towne Road (within
the existing PUD) from Secondary Area to Primary Area. The site is generally located at
the southwest corner of West 131 Street and Towne Road. The site is zoned
PUD /Planned Unit Development.
Filed by Jose Kreutz of Brenwick TND Communities, LLC.
5. Docket No. 11 -02 OA; Village of West Clay PUD Text Amendment
Petitioner seeks favorable recommendation of a text amendment to a PUD /planned unit
development district. The site is generally located at the southeast corner of West 131
Street and Towne Road. The site is zoned PUD/Planned Unit Development.
Filed by Jose Kreutz of Brenwick TND Communities, LLC.
The Department Report for the above two items has been consolidated. Both the rezone and the
text amendment pertain to the proposed changes within the existing PUD. Please refer to the
second informational booklet provided by the applicant (distributed with the agenda for this
meting).
Prior to a recommendation by the Committee, the petitioner should be prepared to fully address
the following:
1. The applicant has provided a section -by- section breakdown similar to the approach taken
last fall in explaining the proposed amendments. Again, the Department views the
proposed amendments and rezone as positive changes in the evolution of the
development.
2. The applicant has illustrated where, within the development, the primary area will be
applied and the distinction between the proposed "SF" and "MU" designations within the
Primary Area.
3. Additional clarification needs to be provided regarding the following: (1) timing of the
improvements to Towne Road, (2) the specific level of improvements to be constructed
by the applicant, (3) revising the Primary Plat(s) to include the proposed round -a -bout
design at the intersection of 131 Street, and (4) the type of transition that is proposed at
Towne Road and 126 Street. The applicant should present commitments regarding these
issues. The Department would recommend to both the Plan Commission and City
Council that the commitments be binding upon approval of the rezone request. The
Department is not suggesting that the applicant has not been forthcoming in there
proposal. It is however, our belief, that the above items be addressed in commitment
format.

The applicant's goal should be to provide the Plan Commission with an accurate picture of how
the proposed amendments and rezone will further build on the character of the development
established within the Primary Area.
The Department recommends that the Subdivision Committee forward these items back to
the full Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation after all comments and
concerns have been addressed.
