Excerpts o f the DRAFT November 1,2006 Rasevi�le Planning Commission meeting Commissioner�akeman recognized that change was difficult, but that it was a given. Chair i"raynor advised that he had voted against Mr. Mueller's previous proposal due to his concerns with the characterof the neighborhood; the need for diversity in housing with larger lot sizes as an option; and the dramatic changes it would create in the neighborhood. However, Mr. �'raynor noted that consideration of a Preliminary Plat that met all Code requirements and did not require Comprehensive Land Use Map designation amendment or rezoning was a strict narrow review for the Commission, and taking everything into consideration, he would be voting to support this proposal. Commissioner Boerigter noted that he had previously voted for the project, opining that that was a proposal that provided more City control through the PUD process. Mr. Boerigter recognized and addressed several worthy public comments heard tonight; however, noted that it was Mr. Mueller's property, that the trees were on Mr. Mueller's property; and that he should be allowed to develop his property, within the refinements of City Code, as he sa chose to do. Commissioner Boerigter opined that while the threat was made that everyone would be splitting their properties, some lots would support splitting, but that those that could be split were also private property and their developmentwas at the discretion of the property owner. Commissioner Boerigter addressed his perception of minimal traffic impacts from three (3) new homes and projected trips, opining that Acom Road was more than sufficient ta handle the additional traffic. Commissioner Boerigter, in considering the totality of the proposal, current City Code, and conditions addressing areas of concem, opined that Commissioners were obligated to vota for the project; and noted that he would be voting to support the project. Commissione� Boerigter opined that this was overall a good project, the proposed homes would be expensive, and he doubted that any real negative property value or impact would occur tc� adjoining properties. Ayes: 6 Nays: a Motion camed. Chair i"raynor advised that the case would come before the City Council on November 13, 2006.
