PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING I S' ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD Planning Director Stan Boling reviewed the project with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation (COPY ON FILE WITH TODAY'S BACKUP). There are several items which have been particularly noted with respect to this development: (a) the bridge over 661'' Avenue; (b) drainage concerns; (c) the half street at 31st Avenue; and (d) traffic, particularly on 261'' Street which is planned as the main entrance for the development with a planned turn lane, and 33rd Street (Cherry Lane) with no planned turn lane. There are also requirements for intersection improvements to Kings Highway and SR -60 and preservation of upland habitat areas. The buffers have not changed and are still the most intensive buffers on the books. The only change is that the applicant has lost 27 lots which has decreased the project to 436 units. The 60 foot lots are now 70 feet. Also, the developer has agreed that within 24 months of the first certificate of occupancy the recreational amenities consisting of a 20,000 square foot clubhouse, sidewalks, tennis court, pool, and spa will be in place. The same conditions earlier imposed by staff still apply. Chairman Macht felt the developer had been very forthcoming with the changes and that this is a very good project. He noted that some of the neighbors did retain objections about the entrance directly adjacent to the Oak Chase development and wondered if it would be possible to move it. Director Boling explained that the entrance is proposed to line up with Oak Chase directly across the street. Half of the frontage of Woodbridge is woods and, because of tree preservation, the entrance could not be placed more westerly to line up with the outparcel or The Sanctuary Subdivision. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard with regard to this matter. Keith Pelan of Kimley-Horn noted that they have appreciated all the help they have received from staff. He pointed out that this project actually has a very low density. This will be an active adult community with maintenance provided by a homeowners' association. Last Thursday they met with the neighbors and discussed the drainage problem with the neighbors from the Sunniland community, whose drainage comes south through Woodbridge. The developer is going on record that they will assist in solving the Sunniland community's drainage problems by providing drainage on the north property line into Woodbridge's stormwater system.
