The pom is 1hat 1lJese adjacent properties are not part of tile project today and 1he ~y <br />proposed relationships between tbîs project. and these bomes íS unacceptab1e. <br /> <br />Assuming that a. reduction in density in the order of =/- 5 UIIÌtS could ftee up enongh land to improve <br />these edge condiI:îons. tbere remain other site p1anrring îssnes. How will. pondîng be handled? If it can <br />be handled off site we agree that is great. .As ofyesrerday. we understand 1ñat there is no such <br />solution. If it bas to occur on 1he property. bow often wm it be filled with water. how long will ît bold <br />water. how close win it be to the units? <br /> <br />The questions about 1he ponding also affect 1he landscaping plans. No. you. do not have 10 have final <br />landscape plans at this stage in. the process. but, we do bave to see a represenratîon oftbe developer's <br />COII1Inìtment: to landscaping and we need sufficient detail to evaluate if it is feasible. The p1ans <br />submitted TD date are rota11y înadeqDare. in te:m1S of amomtt oflandscaping and trees are shown plaut:ed <br />off his property and severo trees are shown wið:1in the proposed ponding areas that would not live <br />there. This :înfonn~rifID bas been conveyed tel Me. Kerr and be has cbosen not tD spend the money to <br />have these plans prepared. <br /> <br />Planning Commi~c;ian: <br /> <br />I wæ very emphatic with the Commission that it was in nobody's best intereSt 10 send the project back <br />for tweaking. if what 1hey were rea1ly saying is 1hat the density needs to be sobstarnially œdlJœif <br />before tbey would support the ~mMdmP.nt aDd œz.()n'Îng The majority expressed support for a change <br />that would coIreCt the compat1öility problems with adjacent neigbbJring properties. I think tbat ccmld <br />probably be dODf:. w:iIh a +/- S unit 1'ednction. <br /> <br />Katie HaJIIls voted against.1he motion because she sees her role as supporting the neighbor's posîtîon. <br />I am aJso conœroed that neither Ed. Roberts. nor Ondy 'Ibomas were at the meeting. From 1beir <br />comments and actions at previous meeûr\gs. I wouJd be conœmed. tbæ: Ed could tend to oppose the <br />change inland use and Cindy might not support the project without an even greater re<hJction in <br />density. Now 1hat is my gut feel. but, tbe poirltis they were not present and they are not foDowers. AI <br />had better taJœ the initiative to get a reading from these two. <br /> <br />The Nei.gbbors: <br /> <br />The position. oftbe œîgbbors was sigrñfil'..anr1y more negative 1han their previous comments. They <br />have obviously decided that 1bey better take a stand and. as ofIast nigbt that position was in strong <br />opposition. TD a change in 1and use and znn11'\g They did not talk about 1he magnitude of change tba1 <br />would make 1iñs acceptable, 1hey said it was not acceptable period. Again. AI bas said repeatedly that <br />he has one detIactor. wilen they showed up UIJited against the project. In &imP..ß Tn him, their <br />comments last night did:represent a shift finro their position at tbe iniria1 sketch plan review. <br />
