construction administration services for the Rockridge <br />Subdivision Surge Protection Project, as recommended in <br />the memorandum of January 4, 2006. <br /> <br />9.A. PUBLIC HEARING – SHOWCASE DESIGNER HOMES, LC – <br />PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) SPECIAL EXCEPTION USE <br />AND PRELIMINARY PD PLAN/PLAT APPROVAL FOR A <br />PROJECT TO BE KNOWN AS ORCHARD PARK <br />(PD-05-02-01/20041000070-44612) <br />PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE <br />OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br /> <br />Planning Director Stan Boling reviewed the memorandum using a zoning map, the <br />proposed layout, and an aerial view with a zoning overlay to explain the project’s proposed plat <br />plan, buffers, green spaces, stormwater management lakes, and zoning of adjacent properties. He <br />reviewed the requested waivers for single-family lots, landscaping and proposed buffers, <br />trade-offs for public benefit, relation to pending ordinance provisions, as well as concurrency and <br />surrounding land use and zoning. He specified that the developer planned to provide for future <br />roadway interconnection with the property to the north. He also explained the “bonus room” <br />model (The Cypress) with attic space over the garage would not count as a 2-story structure. He <br />reviewed staff’s recommendations (page 50 of the backup) and stated that the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission recommended approval 6-0 adding a condition limiting the 2-story homes in the <br />project (no 2-story homes would be adjacent). <br />Chairman Neuberger thought the “bonus room” model (The Cypress) appears to <br />have 2 stories; Director Boling responded that the height of the bonus room’s roof is the same as <br />the roof height of the 1-story models. <br />January 10, 2006 10 <br /> <br />
