Member Traynor asked if Ms. Bloom was comfortable with the concept drainage plan. (yes). Member Mulder noted that the plans were more complete than others recently. Member Traynor asked if a neighborhood meeting was held (yes, July 9th). Why does staff prefer loop road? (maintenance, connection of neighborhood, less impervious pavement than cul-de-sac, more room for ponding and open space) Thomas Paschke noted the base zoning is proposed R-2. IfR-l zoned, 15-19 lots could be created. In a PUD proposal, the City has more design control. Twelve structures would be included instead of 15-19 single family homes. Member Peper asked if the trees in the center of the site must be removed and replaced (yes). Peripheral trees will be preserved. Member Peper asked if, in the southeast comer, the trees would be retained (yes). Member Mulder asked if the pond would be fenced. (No, the City does not require fence). There will be at least four feet of depth in the pond. Pond fencing is not encouraged because of safety and liability reasons. Member Mulder asked what could be done without a PUD. Thomas Paschke explained that up to 4.0 units per acre could be built. In the R-l zone, 85'x 11 0' lots would allow for 15-19 single family homes. There is no requirement for mass of structures except for impervious surface of 30%. Member Mulder asked if in a PUD owners/developers are constrained from making changes (yes, by a Planned Unit Development Agreement) without additional hearings and approvals. There also will be a Homeowners' Association in which the by-laws are generally strict. Gordy Howe and Gary Peters of Masterpiece Homes explained that at the July 9th neighborhood meeting drainage was a major concern. A culvert runs north along the west property line from County Road "B" to the northwest. Mr. Howe explained the drainage plan and catch basins. The builders will have a 35-foot setback from the east and west sides and a 40- foot from the north side. Mr. Derrick Passe, Engineer, explained the drainage from the golf course, creating erosion within the ditch along the west side and put into pipes to drain to the pond and storm sewer. An overflow swale is also proposed. Rock covered drainage basins will be installed along the east side. Member Bakeman asked if the golf course water will go into the pipe and storm line while the site drainage will go into the pond.(Y es). Gordy Howe explained the building design and staggering of units. Elevation of the units was explained. There will be Excel lantern-type street lights.
