GLASER, CITY ATTORNEY PHIL CARLSON, CITY PLANNER SUBJECT: PELTIER ESTATES - PUBLIC HEARING FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DATE: 2/25/2021 CC: MARK STATZ, CITY ADMINISTRATOR The applicant, Sharper Communities, LLC, asks the City for a Planned Unit Development for Peltier Estates. This memo describes the procedure and standards for granting a PUD. A conditional or interim use permit shall be required of all PUDs. The city may approve the PUD if it finds the development is consistent with the following principals: (A) The development shall be planned so that it is consistent with the city comprehensive plan; (B) The PUD is an effective and unified treatment of the development possibilities on the project site and the development plan provides for the preservation of unique natural amenities such as streams, stream banks, wooded cover, rough terrain and similar areas; (C) The planned unit development proposal appears to harmonize with both existing and proposed development in the area surrounding the project site; (D) The tract of land shall be under unified control at the time of application and scheduled to be developed as one unit. In addition, the development plan must include provisions for the preservation of natural amenities; (E) Each phase of the proposed development, as it is proposed to be completed, is of sufficient size, composition and arrangement that its construction, marketing and operation are feasible as a complete unit, and that provision and construction of dwelling units and common open space are balanced and coordinated; (F) The PUD will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the district; (G) The proposed total development is designed in a manner as to form a desirable and unified environment within its own boundaries; (H) The plans required under this section must be submitted in a form which will satisfy the requirements of Chapter 153 for the preliminary and final plats; (I) Permission to develop specific parcels of land under the provisions which follow shall be binding on all construction. Any change in the development plan after approval by the City Council shall be resubmitted for consideration; and (J) Subdivision review under the subdivision chapter shall be carried out simultaneously with the review of a PUD under this section. Next, the Commission must consider the facts presented during the public hearing. The relevant information follows. APPLICABLE R-2 STANDARDS The following standards apply in a R-2 zoning district: Minimum lot area is 15,000 square feet. Minimum lot width is 100 feet. Front setback is 35 feet. Rear setback is 25 feet. Side setback is 10 feet. REQUESTED VARIANCES This development is in an R-2 zoning district. The land is comprised of large areas of wetland interspersed with high ground suitable for development. These large tracks of wetland are a challenge to develop. The planners needed to alter the wetlands to join areas of high ground suitable to build houses with streets to access those homes. These areas follow the existing contours of the land. This minimizes the areas where land infill is necessary to join areas of high ground. The developer now asks for variances related to lot size and building placement to accommodate the challenge of developing this land. The developer asks for a variance from each of the R-2 standards stated above. Given the undulating nature of the proposed lots and lot configurations, there is no uniformity in their requested variances. The developer proposes to define the variances for each lot on a diagram. (This diagram will be drawn once approvals are recommended. This diagram is similar to the Grading & Drainage Plan included with this memo.) Generally stated, the requested variances are as follows. Minimum lot area. The proposed lots vary in area from 4,166 to 5,557 square feet. Minimum lot width. The proposed lot widths vary from 48.9 to 65.7 feet wide. Front setback. As proposed, the average front setback is approximately 13 feet. Rear setback. As proposed, the average front setback is approximately 10 feet. Side setback. As proposed the side setbacks are 5 feet. LOT SIZE AND SETBACKS During the design process in 2017, lot location, size, setbacks and backyard requirements were negotiated and discussed. The layout of the development shown is the result of those discussions. The developer is not proposing any changes to that layout with this application. NOTABLE FACTS In 2017, the City rezoned this parcel from R-1 to R-2. The City rezoned this parcel to accommodate this proposed development and lot configuration which are the subject of this PUD request. The Rice Creek Watershed District approved the proposed plat configuration where homes and roads follow the existing areas of high ground. It is an important goal of the City to have an interconnected roadway system. The proposed street within Peltier Estates does not connect to Brian Drive. Creating this connection through the existing wetland would be cost prohibitive and resulted in large wetland impacts that could disturb the natural function of the larger wetland complex. The developer proposes a trail and boardwalk to create a pedestrian connection with the rest of the City, enabling residents to access nearby parks and trails without walking on the county highway. The boardwalk connection minimizes wetland impacts. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN nt Plan) guides the property for Low/Medium Density Residential. The R-2 zoning district is a low-density residential district. These 24 lots are consistent with the density aspect of the Comprehensive Plan and the R-2 district, given the undevelopable wetland portions of this plat. The density of this plat will not change since the wetlands will be protected by easement against future development.

PUBLIC HEARINGS City Administrator Statz stated that this is the third iteration for the Interim Use Permit for this property and explained that the second permit stipulated that all the dirt had to be removed by the end of 2020, but it probably would not happen by the end of the year, so he asked the property owner to submit an application for another Interim Use Permit. He stated that the question to ask is two-fold: 1) Is there anything objectionable to the operation as it is that it cannot continue, 2) If City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Minutes December 8, 2020 this property were to go tax forfeit for any reason, is there any liability to the city? He stated that the property owner is very confident that it will not go into tax forfeiture due to the value of the land, which is approximately $7,000,000.00. letter of credit for $200,000, with all other terms being the same as the existing permit. City Administrator Statz showed a diagram of the property and invited Mr. Rehbein to speak. The Commission decided to wait until the end of the Public Hearing to get comments Discussion was had regarding making the propert quarterly inspections by the city and adding unfinished site corrections into the language of the Interim Use Permit. Motion by Chairman Mosher, seconded by Commissioner Broussard-Vickers, to open a Public Hearing. A roll call vote was taken. All in favor. Motion carried. Mr. Jon Rausch, listing agent on behalf of property owner Mr. Gerald Rehbein, stated that the property was cut in half (north and south), and there was dirt on the eastern portion. He said the property was worth approximately $3.00 per square foot as is, and the work that had been done on the western side of the property hugely enhanced the property. Mr. Matt Rehbein, business operator, and had moved 12,000 yards to bring the property up to grade. He stated that there was a wetland delineation, and City Administrator Statz confirmed that the delineation had been approved. Discussion took place regarding what could happen if the Interim Use Permit were not approved, the value of the land, and what needed to be done to make the land ready for sale. Council Member Koski asked what was being done with the fees collected from Mr. Rehbein for the yards of dirt being hauled. City Administrator Statz explained that Mr. Matt Rehbein prepared an invoice and issued a monthly check to the city which went into the general fund as income. No further comments from the public were offered. Motion by Chairman Mosher, seconded by Commissioner Broussard-Vickers, to close the Public Hearing. A roll call vote was taken. All in favor. Motion carried. City Administrator Statz stated that the City Attorney had suggested putting a lien on the property. Mr. Statz suggested another alternative, which is to stage the agreement so that a letter of credit would not be required until 2022, and to stop the dirt operation on January 1, 2022 until a letter of credit has been established. He also suggested that the letter of credit could be reduced by the amount of dirt that had been removed. Mr. Matt Rehbein stated that this would be satisfactory. City Administrator Statz summarized the discussion by saying that they would take the sketch oved from the property, and establish a letter of credit for $200,000 by January 1, 2022. Any portion of fill on the graphic that was removed, would City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Minutes December 8, 2020 reduce the letter of credit by that same portion, and add a condition that all current site deficiencies be removed before operating in the spring. Motion by Commissioner Broussard-Vickers, seconded by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, to recommend approval of a new Interim Use Permit for a period of two years with a requirement to establish a $200,000.00 letter of credit at the end of year one, based on the current estimate of material, and the letter of credit reduced by the percentage of material reduction, matching the amount of material reduction, and all deficiencies noted will be corrected by June 1, 2021.

The end units were approximately 1850 square feet with four bedrooms, and the middle units were approximately 1800 square feet with three bedrooms. Each home as a 24x22 garage. Discussion took place regarding the cost of the townhomes, the building exterior, design, over-all look of the homes, and the target market. City Administrator Statz stated that there was another developer that he hoped would be able to attend the meeting, and if they were still interested he would like to hold off on making a recommendation until he had heard their proposal.
