3. Parking will consist of 489 spaces.
4. The owner is planning to lease the dwelling units
with tenant rights to own all common areas
including amenities.
C. Engineering Comments
1. Design of intersection of private entrance street
and Bowman Road is requested; the site distance
appears unsafe to the north.
2. Preliminary plans for Bowman Road improvements
reflect a 7-8' cut at your entrance drive.
3. Entry road should be a private street.
D. Analysis
Staff is not oppdsed to the concept presented; however,
additional information is needed. The applicant should
provide dimensions on all drives and from buildings to
property lines as required by the site plan submission
requirements. Also, the parking layout or typical
should be shown; the central core loop should be
widened to 24' and made to tie into the private street;
20' is acceptable for all other drives. Even though
the area abuts single family, the 6' fence may not be
needed on the west, if the 50' area is left
undisturbed.
E . Staff Recommendation
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The applicant agreed to comply with staff's suggestions;
however, he was informed that if drainage requirements
interfere in the permanent buffer area, then a fence will
need to be erected.
Water Works Comments - A 12" water main extension and
6 or 8" on -site fire line and on -site fire hydrants will be
required.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The developer was represented by his architect,
Brooks Jackson, and his attorney, Brad Walker. Engineering
reported that the site distance problem was solved and that
negotiations with Mrs. Scott were still going on about
access to her property on the north.
Ms. Kate Keller of the Point West Subdivision expressed a
concern that the 50-foot buffer. remained uncut. The
developer stated that the trees would be undisturbed. If
they were disturbed, Ms. Keller was asked to inform
Mr. Kenny's Scott office.
A motion for approval was made, subject to: (1) the
applicant agreeing not to remove any trees, and if any are
removed, to replace them; and (2) if negotiations breakdown
with landowner to north, the final approval is to be given
by'the Engineering Department. The motion passed by a vote
of: 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
