D. Analysis
Staff is not opposed to this development. Our comments
relate to the proposed density and provision of
alternate access if desired. We request that the
applicant revise the plan by eliminating Building C;
and if an issue, provide an alternate access point at
the southwest corner of the site. This would entail
further revision of the plan.
E. Staff Recommendation
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
Staff explained its position as:
(1) Support of a reduction to 31 units obtained by
eliminating Building C.
(2) Revisions to the plat - shifting of the principal drive
75 feet to the west, provision of an alternate access
point on the south and the reduction of the southern
building by one unit.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
Mr. Bob Richardson represented the developer. Approximately
20 persons from the surrounding neighborhoods were present
in opposition. They were represented by Attorney Susan
Martin. Major opposing points included:
(1) Lack of 40' buffer between the two areas.
(2) Possible aggravation of existing drainage, sewer and
traffic problems.
(3) Density in excess of "MF -12", which was previously
rejected by the court.
(4) Lack of notice to one property owner.
Attorney Martin requested that the eastern drive be removed
and left as open space and that the neighborhood be allowed
time to meet with the developer. Mr. Richardson presented
an alternate plan, shifting the northern portion of the
drive away from the eastern boundary and eliminating
Building C. He was instructed by the Commission to examine
the possibility of taking principal access from another

Mr. Bob Richardson represented the developer. Ms. Susan
Martin, attorney for the surrounding property owners were
also present. Mr. Richardson presented two alternative
plans relating to the Commission's request for another
access point on the west. Engineering reported that the
City's Traffic Department preferred two drives instead of
one. The applicant was instructed to get together with the
City Engineer and work out sewer and drive problems. Water
Works reported that easements were required.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was represented by Mr. Bob Richardson. He
presented a revised plan to the Commission, which reduced
the units from 40 to 28, and that reflected the conditions
of the signed statement which was agreed upon by both the
developer and the neighboring property owners. A motion for
approval was made and passed by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 noes and
4 absent.
