There would be a 29 foot setback between buildings. The units will cost between $500,000 - $600,000. The units will have 1,856 square feet on the first floor. Traffic from single family units (19) would be higher than from townhomes for empty nesters. As trees are taken down, they will be replaced inch-for-inch. Member Traynor asked how current residents will be impacted with these drainage plans. Mr. Passe explained that the new development will address all current drainage problems. Flow from the site will be underground. Gretchen Coons, 2292 W. Laurie Rd., expressed concern about height of property running by the site from the south. No drainage has been proposed on this end of development. The houses will look into the lower houses on Laurie Road. Water from Hebert property has now washed out path on Coons property. Will there be drinking water pressure issues? Can these homes have more design diversity? Mr. Passe and Mr. Howe explained drainage and elevation. The trees will be retained along the entire northwest comer. Drainage will be reduced in north area; storm sewers can also be extended. A swale could be constructed to allow drainage to run to the pond. The storm sewer pipe to the west should improve drainage. Member Mulder asked for details on water pressures. Deb Bloom noted a final review with a looped design will be required. Member Mulder asked if privacy plantings will be placed on east and west, preserved along north property line and trees planted on the north side. There will be two different fronts and two separate stone materials on the townhomes. Doug Thompson, 2196 Fulham Street, said the pond will go behind his house. Will the cul-de-sac allow more or less open space? He has concern with the loop road. Mr. Thompson asked for pathways connecting the neighborhood; expressed concern with roads, lights and traffic. He asked for details on the depth of the pond. Deb Bloom addressed his concerns. Gordy Howe explained cul-de-sacs versus streets. Street lights are liked by the new resident in the development. The carriage lights are decorative. A walkway could be installed connecting the neighborhood to the site. The pond is designed for 8 feet of storage depth; cul-de-sacs limit the pond size. Jim Seacrest, 2233 W. County Road B, asked if impervious coverage requirements will be met. Deb Bloom explained site storm water quality and quantity on this site. The amount of water leaving the site will be the same as pre-development. Thomas Paschke explained the types of landscaping and the need to work with neighbors. This planning process takes place between the concept and final plan. Mr. Howe noted the pavement is 34% of the site with cul-de-sac; 31 % with loop roads.
