NAME: Tall Timber West "Revised PRD"
(Z-3640-B)
LOCATION: Highway 5 at Timberland Drive

REQUEST: Revision of an Approved PRD
STAFF REPORT
Phases 1 and 2 of the Tall Timber West "PRD" was approved by
the Commission on September 14, 1982. The plan involved the
construction of 11 lots on 1.92-acres. The concept included
development of attached single family structures of 800
square feet each and one single family unit on a separate
lot. The Plan was to incorporate "passive solar concepts"
and appeal to the $35,000 to $45,000 market.
The current and new owner of the existing development began
construction of a building footprint other than that which
was originally approved. Building permits had been issued
and coristruction started on about half of the unit when it
was discovered that the units differed from the original
plan. There is also an existing octagon duplex on the site
that Mr. Magness is managing, but is owned by Pulaski
Mortgage.
The request before the Commission is for a revision of the
PUD to allow for buildings with 590 square feet as currently
being constructed. The applicant also wants to abandon the
ownership concept and provide rental units.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Staff recommends that the neighborhood be notified since the
original approval included owner -occupied units, instead of
the rental units now proposed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval, subject to comments made.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
Mr. Bob Richardson represented the developer. He stated
that the units would remain individually owned. Staff
requested that Pulaski Mortgage participate since it is also
owner of a structure within the plat boundaries. The
applicant was asked to comply with the notification
requirements for a PUD.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present: Staff reported that there was
untimely notice. Ms. Carolyn Briggs, an abutting property
owner, requested deferral of the project due to inadequate
knowledge of the project and the need for more time in order
that she may get together with her neighbors.
A motion for approval was made and passed by a vote of
9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
