City of Centerville <br />December 3, 2002 <br />Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Mr. Svetin indicated the PUD would allow for a reduction in setbacks and increased <br />density and he finds that to be detrimental to the neighborhood. He then said that <br />multifamily housing does not fit into the surrounding neighborhood. <br /> <br />Mrs. Buckbee asked how this would be detrimental. Mr. Svetin indicated that <br />multifamily housing is not desirable next door to single family housing. <br /> <br />Mrs. Buckbee indicated that not liking twin homes was not a valid reason. She then said <br />that the existing homes are actually a detriment to the proposed development as a number <br />of them are rundown and have junk lying in the yards. She then said that this is a very <br />nice development with homes that are $250,000 plus per side. <br /> <br />Mr. Svetin indicated that multifamily housing is not best for the City. Mrs. Buckbee <br />indicated that the City would receive twice the taxes on twinhomes as it would on a <br />single family home. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Staff would feel more comfortable continuing at this <br />time as Staff does not have enough information from the developer at this time. <br /> <br />Mrs. Buckbee noted she is meeting with Park and Recreation and has heard that the <br />neighborhood is opposed to a park. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Kilian, seconded by Commissioner Wilharber to continue <br />the hearing to the January Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. All in favor. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />A resident asked if it would be possible to provide a map of the proposed development or <br />site plan for every public hearing so that residents in attendance are privy to the <br />information being discussed. He then suggested using the easel to display a large map for <br />the audience. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Travis indicated that all of the information is available to the public. <br /> <br />Mrs. Buckbee indicated she would ask the developer to bring a large drawing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilharber indicated it would be helpful to have Staff put up a drawing <br />prior to the discussion. <br /> <br />III. AWARDS/PRESENTATIONS/APPEARANCES <br /> <br />1. Mr. Henry Votel & Thomas Keller – Sketch Plans <br /> <br />Mr. Votel addressed the Commission and asked if there were any more concerns or <br />suggestions prior to moving forward with their plans. <br /> <br />Mr. Votel provided drawings of the proposed buildings. <br />Page 8 of 10 <br />
