Council Minutes August 15, 1983 Page Three Mr. Jack Holmes indicated his concern of the density with the traffic that may be generated in and out of the PUD. Mr. Jack Holmes indicated that the density at the original time of the conditional use and site plan was cut from what was originally requested because of the traffic problem that may be generated. Mr. Gary Santwire indicated that he was asking for what was allowed in the land use plan. Mr. Santwire reviewed his increased density request for each lot in the PUD. Mr. Santwire further indicated that the balance of lot 3 cannot be in- creased unless the Homeowners Association would approve the change in lot 3. Mr. Santwire indicated that he was asking for the maximum density for the PUD and further indicated that he may not use the maximum density. Mr. Santwire further indicated that he objected to the Staff's recommendation for Block 1 of the PUD. Mr. Santwire indicated that the land use plan allows for 5 dwellings per acre and under this plan, Block 1 which consists of 3 acres, could hold 15 dwelling units according to the land use plan. Mr. Santwire indicated that his request to have double bungalows on Block 1 is an economic way to be able to continue the develop- ment of the PUD. Mr. Santwire indicated that he had a request to sell a lot in Block 1 of which it was indicated that the purchaser would build a 760 sq. foot building. Mr. Santwire indicated that he believed double bungalows would be more attractive to the area than 760 sq. foot homes. Mr. Van Sering questioned the intent of Mr. Santwire to build apartment buildings or condominiums for lot 4. Mr. Santwire indicated that it was his intent to build G.ondominiums and sell as individual dwelling units. Discussion was carried on regarding the size of a family ~n a 24 unit apartment building. Mr. Santwire indicated that as the developer, it is not legal to require a certain number of persons to occupy a unit. Mr. Santwire further in- dicated that a developer will try to regulate the number of persons by the number of bedrooms in a unit. Mr. Walter Nielson questioned the possibility of an environmental impact study. The City Administrator indicated that an environmental impact study is not recom- mended or necessary as it is a very long, time consuming, and expensive study. Mr. George Deschene expressed his concern of traffic in the area should the density be increased. Discussion was carried on regarding the building code requirements and the City Ordinance regarding size of dwelling units. Mr. Jack Holmes indicated that density was an issue at the time of approval of the Barrington Place PUD and fur- ther indicated that he felt the density approved was acceptable and should remain unchanged. The City Administrator indicated that the City Council and Planning Commission worked together to accept a proposal for the PUD that made sense, and at the time of approval of the Barrington Place PUD, the concept submitted was acceptable. The City Administrator further indicated that the City's Ordinance allows for modi- fications or change and that is why a public hearing is held to consider those modifications or changes and determine if they make sense with the total concept. Mr. John Pearce, representative for the Planning Commission, indicated that the Planning Commission unanimously voted to approve the density changes requested by Mr. Santwire, including the request for duplexes or double bungalows for Block 1.
