He stated that the enclave owner, Payson, has written a letter agreeing to the <br />project. He stated that there was a slight disagreement on the naming of the streets. He gave <br />examples of how numbered streets (complying with the County's grid system) within the <br />project would be very confusing and requested that the developer be permitted to use names <br />to designate the streets rather than numbers. He reviewed how the proposed conceptual PD <br />plan agrees with Objective 5 in the Future Land Use Element and stressed the location is <br />within the urban service area on major thoroughfares. He reviewed the properties along the <br />perimeter of the development area and indicated that most of the immediate neighbors are <br />in support of the project. <br />John Haley, President of Suntree Partners, the applicant, pointed out how this <br />proposed project differs from the previously submitted projects and how it has been <br />improved significantly. They have reduced the density and increased the open space and <br />usable green space. They have added a "pedway", parks and sidewalks. He reviewed each <br />village, giving the projected intended users and the types of home and lifestyle that would <br />be furnished in each of the villages. The recreation center will be completed with the <br />completion of Villages A, B & C. There will also be a soccer field and school bus <br />turnarounds will be provided.

She was also concerned about the increase of traffic and noise. She stated that 58'h <br />Avenue is only 1/6th completed and we are still another five years from completion. She <br />suggested the developer hold off until the 58t` Avenue improvements have been completed. <br />Roy Hirschfeld, 4055 12'h Street SW, presented handouts and petitions to the <br />Commissioners and stated this was an inappropriate zoning request for the neighborhood. <br />January 11, 2000 <br />ER <br />K <br />
