There will be two different fronts and two separate stone materials on the town homes. 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. Ms. Coons asked if rezoning goes beyond the project area; would other lots change zoning. (No, only the project area will change). Ms. Coons said water is already being diverted to her site. She invited the Planning Commission to visit the site. Deb Bloom explained the drainage concept of connecting the current water into a pipe and sending it to the city collection system. Member Ipsen left the meeting. Don Meyer, 2138 Fairway Lane, asked for clarification of the diameter tree replacement plan. Member Mulder asked neighbors to work with the city and developers on an "inch-for-inch" tree replacement. Don Meyer, 2138 Fairview, said County Road B will be rebuilt in two years. How long will this project take to complete? (If development starts late fall, within 1-% years it will be done). Thomas Paschke explained the site work has to be done and road installed before permits are issued for housing. Member Peper asked for construction hours? Gordy Howe said 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. is normal weekdays; 7:00 a.m. to early afternoon on Saturdays and no work on Sundays. Thomas Paschke said restrictions can be placed in the PUD. Wendy Wendt, 2223 County Road B, asked who will pay for pavement repair on County Road B (Developer). County Road B may be totally reconstructed in the future. Deb Bloom stated County Road B needs to be rebuilt; construction trucks will not harm the existing road. Assessments are made to the project. Wendy Wendt asked how this project will attract empty nesters. Gordy Howe explained his past development history. Thomas Paschke explained the traffic is 2,500 ADT; the 2020 estimated count is 4,950. This development would generate no more than 250 trips per day. Larraine Striper, 2256 W. Laurie Road, stated that she has a hill along the south side of her lot which could be graded to increase her privacy by better grading or screening. A resident asked if other projects could be explained in acres and units. He asked about the west boundary tree preservation in relation to the drainage. Is there public review and comment on the PUD document? Member Mulder encouraged working with Thomas Paschke and Gordy Howe as soon as possible. Thomas Paschke explained processes for neighborhood landscaping improvement. Derreck Passe explained pipes will be moved east to preserve as many property line trees as possible. Crestwood was a five-acre development, with ten units on 3.8 acres. Carla Japs, 2215 W. Cty. Rd. B, asked why the city stopped caring for the existing neighbors. Twenty-four units and 24 families are too much. Member Mulder stated the Planning Commission goal is to make the best development possible. Nancy Nelson, 2151 Fulham Street, asked if single family homes were developed here would they have to get a Rice Creek Watershed Permit (yes). Member Mulder asked if with the PUD the City has control over drainage (yes). Ms. Nelson asked if the Home Association is responsible for clean out of the pond. (Yes) There is a pond on Fulham that has problems; Deb Bloom will investigate.
