Vice Chairman Lyons asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Steve Moler of Masteller & Moler came before the Board representing Fopasclo Developers, Inc., and stated that he would like to reserve some time at the end of the hearing to respond to items the residents might bring up. Mr. Moler stressed that the developers met with staff before they started this application and were,told their plans to submit their rezoning application would be strongly recommended by staff. He believed staff is very familiar with the North Winter Beach area, having done a small area plan and map for this area, and he felt their recom- mendation should be weighed heavily. Mr. Moler then discussed the subject property and the relationship of the proposed project to the existing Light Industrial on the west side of the railroad which is followed by 300' feet of multiple family zoning. Staff has indicated that 300' buffer strip of multiple family is not sufficient, and Mr. Moler also pointed out that 300' is very narrow for potential development as multiple family and would make it very difficult to come up with a very imaginative plan. He felt the location of their project is close enough to the railroad that they would have difficulty marketing it as single family. Commissioner Bird inquired as to their intentions for utility service, and Mr. Moler stated that they do not feel that single family on 1/2 acre lots is a marketable product, and to develop single family on smaller lots would entail the location of a package plant on the site, most probably at the northeast corner of the site directly on North Winter Beach Road because that is where the gravity system would flow. He, therefore, felt the best alternative is multi family zoning where the developer can process an application for a subdivision of 1/2 acre lots, which lots can be developed for on-site disposal and eliminate the need for a package plant on the site. 27 APR 2 1986 BOOK D04 PAGE 97
