Planning Division Director Stan Boling advised the Board that additional applications have been <br />received since the submittal of the list in the backup. <br />Commissioner Adams inquired if any of the newly received applications had any 50 foot or 60 foot <br />lot sizes and Director Boling advised that two had minimum lot widths of 70 feet or greater and one had a <br />combination of 70 feet and 60 feet, all ranging from 7,000 to 10,500 square feet. <br />Chairman Macht noted that one application indicated lot width of 45 feet and Director Boling <br />explained that was a modification of Pointe West, an existing PD. <br />Chairman Macht clarified that the key word on the moratorium is "up to 6 months". With the <br />workshop scheduled for mid-June he anticipated completing their work and being able to terminate the <br />moratorium by the end of June. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard with regard to <br />this matter. <br />Steve Moler, Masteller, Moler and Associates, said he was not in favor of the moratorium. He did <br />not see a need for a moratorium when the Board has the right to deny any planned development. <br />Commissioner Adams answered that if the Board does deny a PD, they cannot come back with a <br />new plan for a year. The Board needs to establish a comfort level with staff as to what the Board wants <br />and some understanding as to the quality needed. <br />Mr. Moler stated that the word was out this Board is considering a moratorium because they were <br />not in favor of small lots. <br />Chairman Macht explained that a formalized process is needed whereby they can listen to public <br />input and initiate some rules that are acceptable to everyone. <br />Gene Winne, 2096 Riverway, a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission felt it was <br />important to initiate a moratorium. He felt the language needs to be improved in the Land Use <br />Regulations, not only in reference to lot size, but also in compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods. <br />Ron Andrews, 6414 55th Square, spoke on behalf of developments of regional impacts and said <br />that the moratorium makes sense, but not in a long established project, such as Grand Harbor. <br />May 6, 2003 16 <br />
