Steve Ach explained a request has been received for a residential planned unit development subdividing 280 acres into approximately 322 single family lots and 200 townhouse lots. The property is currently owned by Waddy Schulze and is located north of County Road 12, east of the realigned County Road No. 13 and south of the 187th Avenue alignment. John Payton, Senior Engineer, of Westwood Professional Services; Ed Hasek, registered landscape architect; and AI Block of Town and Country Homes, were present on behalf of the developer. Chair Thompson opened the public hearing. John Paul, 19714 Twin Lakes Road, indicated it appears his driveway is across the street from the County Road 13 access to the proposed plat. He expressed his concern for the impact of increased traffic in front of his home, noting there have been a number of accidents in this location. He expressed concern the area residents will suffer the consequences of the proposed development. Mary Jo Miske, 10028 Twin Lakes Road, expressed her concern regarding assessments for sewer and water, realignment of County Road 13, and environmental impacts on Trott Brook. Mrs. Miske stated it was her understanding Jarvis would be the main north-south corridor for this area, not County Road 13. Terry Maurer explained County Road 13 was planned as the corridor for approximately 2 years. He noted the Council will be considering an area for the extension of city water and sewer which is much larger than the Schulze and Hohlen property, but it is not known at this time how large an area will be chosen. Members of the Planning Commission expressed interest in the developer incorporating a theme in the design of the plat. They expressed support for the variety of housing options proposed for the plat (Le., attached and detached single family, number of floor plans, architectural styles, sizes).
