City of Centerville <br /> Planning and Zoning Commission <br /> July 31,2018 <br /> Mark Cunningham — 1853 Revoir Street: Mr. Cunningham is the second to last lot on <br /> Revoir Street. He reminded the commission that this neighborhood is the only R5-zoned <br /> development in the city. He does not wish to have two backyard neighbors and prefers that <br /> lot lines of the new homes line up with those on his block. Mr. Cunningham enjoys living <br /> on a dead end and has concerns with the landscaping and drainage in his and other <br /> neighboring backyards. Having larger homes that sit several feet higher than the ones <br /> along Revoir also concerns Mr. Cunningham, in that they will be the dominant feature on <br /> the landscape and will "all that [they] see". <br /> Mr. Cunningham approached the podium a second time to ask if the higher valuation of the <br /> new homes would drive his value up and therefore raise his taxes. <br /> Administrator Statz said that if his valuation went up, his taxes would go up since property <br /> taxes are based on valuation. <br /> Mr. Cunningham again spoke, asking if the rezoning was "spot zoning" because their R5 is <br /> the only one in the area. <br /> Planner Beth Elliot explained that the rezoning was not "spot zoning" because all of the <br /> zoning in the area was low density residential and fit within the context of the <br /> neighborhood and was consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br /> Mary Franzen — 1845 Revoir Street: Ms. Franzen was concerned with drainage coming <br /> from the new development, into her backyard. <br /> Administrator/Engineer Statz showed the grading plan on the screen and explained the <br /> existing and proposed drainage patterns. He explained that in a 100 year rainfall, water <br /> would come from the proposed development, via an emergency overflow (EOF) route, into <br /> her backyard. Her backyard has a storm drain and should also have an overland EOF. <br /> The city intends to do an audit of EOFs around the city and would work with the developer <br /> to ensure that the one serving her backyard is checked before approval of this <br /> development. <br /> Jodi West — 1825 Revoir Street: Ms. West also had drainage concerns along the south <br /> edge of the new development and in the back yards of those along Revoir. She would also <br /> like to see the new development be zoned R-5 to match their development. <br /> BJ Ison —7375 Old Mill Road: Mr. Ison had concerns about connectivity of the roadway <br /> network. He also wondered if the southern of the two roads could end in a cul-de-sac at <br /> the west end, to eliminate a connection to Old Mill Road. He is concerned with headlights <br /> shining in his windows from the new road. <br /> Nick Jones — 7379 Old Mill Road: Mr. Jones shared Mr. Ison's concerns and asked if <br /> there would be any assessments to adjacent properties. <br /> Administrator Statz stated that there were no proposed assessments associated with this <br /> development. <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br />
