On June 20, 1995, the Board of Directors passed Ordinances
No. 16,908 and 16,910, rezoning 695 acres from R-2/MF-
12/MF-18/0-2/0-3/C-1 to PRD establishing the conceptual
plan for "Brodie Creek - A Community of Four Neighborhoods"
and the Brodie Creek Community, East Neighborhood - Amended
Long -Form PRD (first phase of development). The approved
concept was for a "Traditional Neighborhood Development"
patterned after 18th and 19th century villages which were
designed to foster neighborliness and a sense of community.
The PRD site encompasses 695 acres, and was designed to
have four (4) distinct neighborhoods. To date, Phase I
(The East Neighborhood) has been partially developed, with
some single family residences currently under construction.
Each neighborhood was to be unique, and to be defined by a
green edge and village center. The entire PRD development
was to contain approximately 1,100 home sites, with
potential for 55,000 square feet of commercial and up to
160,000 square feet of office/service space. The approved
plan also included common recreational space (2 lakes,
pond, streams and pocket parks).

B. PROPOSAL:
The property owner, Elgor, Inc., through their agent
(Pocket Properties) requests that a portion of the original
PRD be officially revoked and the property revert to R-2
zoning. The portion of the original PRD proposed to be
revoked amounts to 220 acres immediately west of Phase I,
as shown on the attached sketch. The property owner
proposes to revoke this area from the PRD so that a
preliminary plat for a more conventional single family
residential subdivision can be filed in the near future on
an upcoming Planning Commission agenda.
The majority of the 220 acres proposed for revocation was
previously zoned R-2. However, there are two (2) small
areas which were zoned multifamily (MF -12 and MF -18). The
applicant wishes for these areas to be zoned R-2 as well.
The ordinance which staff prepares for the PRD revocation
can be tailored to include the down -zoning of these two (2)
multifamily areas.
C. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
As of this writing, staff has received two (2) phone calls
from persons requesting information on the PRD revocation.
The John Barrow and Spring Valley Manor Neighborhood
Associations were notified of the public hearing.

Ron Tyne and Baker Kurrus were present, representing the
application. The PRD area proposed to be revoked was
briefly discussed. Mr. Tyne showed the Committee a
preliminary sketch of the future plat for the PRD
revocation area. This issue was briefly discussed.
After the discussion, the Committee forwarded the PRD
partial revocation to the full Commission for resolution.

property be zoned R-2 Single Family Residential District.
