REZONING OF THE TWO AREAS PRESENTLY ZONED R -1A AND R-ITM BASED ON THE ACTION OF THE BOARD TODAY. MR. REDICK NOTED THAT THE R -2C ZONING RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION IS ACCEPTABLE TO THE DEVELOPER. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF ANYONE PRESENT WISHED TO BE HEARD. ROBERT GASKILL, AGENT FOR VISTA PROPERTIES, INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE A PROJECT SOUTH OF THIS LOCATION WHICH HAS DEMONSTRATED THE NEEDIFOR SUCH ZONING. THIS ALSO WOULD BE A GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY SUCH AS VISTA ROYALE. THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE 120 ACRES AND WOULD NOT INVOLVE THE GARDEN'S PROPERTY IN FRONT OR THE ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE ACREAGE. HE NOTED THAT THE 12 UNIT DENSITY IS BASED ON THE 120 ACRES, BUT THE GOLF COURSE AREA CUTS THE DENSITY. MR. REDICK AGREED THAT THE TOTAL RESULTING DENSITY WOULD AMOUNT TO ABOUT 5.5 UNITS PER ACRE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT A DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS THIS POINTS OUT THE NEED FOR A PUD ORDINANCE. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THE COUNTY HAS BEEN GREATLY CONCERNED OVER THIS PARTICULAR AREA, BUT FELT CONFIDENT THAT THESE DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB IN THE.ADJACENT PROPERTY, WILL DEVELOP THE AREA PROPERLY. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER ASKED WHAT WOULD BE THE PROBLEM WITH GIVING THEM R-2 INSTEAD OF R -2C SINCE THEY WILL ONLY BE USING HALF THE DENSITY ANYWAY. PLANNING DIRECTOR REDICK FELT THE MAIN REASON FOR THE R -2C WAS TO MATCH MEDIUM DENSITY AS PROPOSED FOR THE MASTER PLAN CHANGE IN THE AREA. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, IT WAS NOTED THAT. THE ZONING COMMISSION HAS RECOMMENDED THE R -2C, AND THE DEVELOPER HAS STATED THAT HE IS HAPPY WITH R -2C, WHICH WILL PROVIDE HIM WITH SUFFICIENT DENSITY. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED ORDINANCE 78-30 BASED UPON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING & ZONING BOARD AND GRANTED A REZONING TO R -2C, 70 BOOK' 36 ?AGE 303
