John Anderson, 2009 Hills Court South, asked why not four or 5 instead of eight lots. He asked for details of setbacks, size of lots. Are the back setbacks close? Standard setbacks are 30 feet in rear, 10 feet in sideyards, 30 feet in front. Every structure ( in eight lot plan) would meet the required setback. Mr. Anderson said it would be different than homes surrounding the site. He said value of the proposed homes would be equal to or greater than lona, but less than Owasso Hills area. Member Wilke noted that large lots (5) would require out-of-scale homes to those on lona. Mr. Anderson said the adjoining cul-de-sacs have larger homes than lona have. Thomas Paschke explained the family living options in this area; which ever project is approved would be different because of age. Judy Anderson, Hills Court South, said she has not seen either development. Does the project of 2.25 acres, when developed, include the street? If six individual homes, does the City have requirements for sod and landscaping. She asked if the trees and wildlife would be disturbed. What will the plan be if all trees are removed? Thomas Paschke noted that tree preservation would take place. Deb Bloom explained the pathway design process. Thomas Paschke explained the grading. Jeff Brunner, 2784 lona Circle, asked how the foundation size would compare to existing homes. How does the setback from the road compare - especially related to snow plowing? Mr. Brenner asked for valuation detail. He supported rambler styles with $300-$400,000; and explained that the lower density would be better. Member Wilke explained that the driveways would vary from 30 to 40 feet from curb to house, and approximately 27 feet between units. David Vanesti, realtor representing the developer, noted that there is a need for the "carefree home". With six homes, there will be a change in the neighborhood. In the eight home development, he must work more closely with the neighbors and the city through a Planned Unit Development. The style, walkout rambler, would match or be compatible with the existing rambler neighborhood. All setbacks exceed the minimum single-family developments. Charlotte Allen, 445 lona Lane, asked what the square footage of the house would be" Mr. Thompson said an 1800 rambler does not include a 400 s.t. garage. Could these homes be used by single parents with children? The exterior is generally not changeable. Thomas Paschke noted that residents have more to say about the eight-lot development. Mike Martin, 528 lona Lane, expressed concern about unknowns such as cost and traffic as well as residents who may move in. There will be increased traffic on lona, and there is a speeding problem on lona. Kathleen Burke, 484 Judith, expressed concern with drainage from the new development. The new development is six feet or more higher than her lot. She preferred a PUD. She also preferred rambler designed homes. Earl McMillan, Ion a Circle, adjacent to this property, noted that there is not enough snow removal or storage space on the cul-de-sac with many driveways. Chuck Fish, Owasso Hills Drive, supported the PUD concept, noting that Pratt Townhomes have been maintained very well. There does not appear to be a big difference between six and eight units. Traffic and speed are a concern. Mr. Brunner asked if a seven-lot development would require a PUD. There was no further comment. 8. Hearings a.
