C Planning Director Stan Boling reminded the Board that this item had been considered at the Board meeting of July 13, 1999. Special exception requests are usually considered to be quasi-judicial but this matter should be considered judicial. There is a conceptual plan and the Board can get involved in a lot of the issues. The Board may attach conditions to the approval. He also reminded the Board that a public workshop will be held on September 22, 1999 to go over the entire agricultural PD issue. Director Boling then stated that this public hearing is a continuation of the July 13, 1999 public hearing where many concerns were expressed and the developer had agreed to make some revisions to the conceptual plan. It is these revisions which are being presented today, together with a booklet containing more details. (CLERK'S NOTE: BOOKLET IS ON FILE WITH THE BACKUP FOR TODAY'S MEETING.) This site is designated L-1 and the developer is proposing 2.90 units per acre. The site to the north of this project was approved at 2.99 units per acre. The applicant has converted the proposed triplex units to duplex units and has reduced the plan from 645 units to 630 units. He has also converted some of the lake area into green space, as well as adding a finger lake and Type `B" buffering to give more space between the project and the "not -included" properties. This has resulted in a setback of 125 feet as opposed to the 75 feet originally proposed. Villages B, D and E contain lots as small as 50 feet with a 5 -foot setback on each side. In Village E the lot width has been increased from 65 feet to 75 feet with proposed 7.5 -foot side yards. With the aid of the ELMO, Director Boling noted several corrections to the figures listed in the booklet. Staff is recommending approval with the conditions previously suggested and adding the recommendation that the applicant submit complete plans consistent with the changes noted. Commissioner Stanbridge questioned whether the stormwatermanagementplanwould indicate howmany acres were required per village, and Director Boling responded that issue would be dealt with at the time of the approval of the phased units. However, each village must be able to stand alone. Commissioner Ginn questioned the width of the added finger lake, and Director Boling answered that it is 50 feet wide. The Chairman reopened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard regarding this matter. AUGUST 3, 1999 -39- GOOK i 10 DGE C7
