Parkridge Development, Case No. 2471 page 2 reviewed the project as a Sketch Plan at the November meeting. The project has been modified slightly since the Sketch Plan review, and has been further modified since drawings were submitted a few weeks ago. Mr. Kehr and his architects indicate that the project is still being refined and may undergo further changes before it is finalized. The changes involve the removal of one and perhaps two units, modification of the community room, grading changes due to a potential change in the handling of storm ponding, and minor architectural design features. None of these changes alters the basic character and layout of the project. Beyond these changes, some features of the plan have been left in a concept stage, particularly the landscape plan which does not show specific species or sizes. Because the project has not been submitted in final form with details required for General Stage PUD approval, the Planning commission cannot act on that request. This being the case, the Planning commission may wish to use this opportunity as a "second stage" Sketch Plan to consider the broad issues involved in the project and give a clear indication of whether the project is likely to be approved in some form or not, understanding that the Commission need not make a final decision if the applicant has not presented a final design according to the city's submission requirements. 2.
