RE: The Bridges Docket No. 10120008 Z
Dear Plan Commissioner:
By way of general background, GB Developers, an affiliate of Gershman Brown Crowley, filed a
petition for a zoning amendment to allow an upscale, mixed -use development on approximately 63 acres
located, in the southwest quadrant of U.S. Highway 31 and 116 Street, north of 111 Street and east of
Springmill Road. To this end, the public hearing before the Plan Commission occurred in February of this
year and was followed by four very thorough meetings of the Special Studies Committee.
Since filing in December, we have had numerous meetings with the Department of Engineering
and we have had continuous, weekly meetings with the Department of Community Services during which
the PUD Ordinance was closely reviewed and during which we received the Staffs helpful input and
guidance. We have reached consensus with the Department of Community Services on all comments, now
comprising well over 100 points.
At the conclusion of our 4 Committee meeting, we were returned with a favorable
recommendation to the Plan Commission meeting of May 17, 2011. Further to this, we have included with
this letter a submittal comprising a clean copy of the updated PUD, containing all revisions, and a redlined
copy of the PUD, identifying all revisions. All of these revisions represent considerable and careful effort
of the Committee, the Department of Community Services, and the Department of Engineering.
We look forward to returning to the Plan Commission on May 17, 2011.
Respectfully submitted,
NELSON FRANKENBERGER, P.C.
