Jeff Vanderpool, 601 Shelton Drive, spoke in opposition of this request and stated concerns about the conditions of the trees and placement of homes being a guarantee.

There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at 9:05 P.M. Commissioner Byerly made motion to adjourn for a ten minute break at 9:05 P.M. Motion passed by acclamation. Commissioner Byerly called meeting to order at 9:15 P.M. Commissioner Byerly questioned staff about the fencing requirements and the tree Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - December 13, 2004 Page 50f9 preservation. Clayton Husband responded no specific requirements, fencing is allowed in front yards, just shorter and it really depends on how the lots face. The tree preservation requires replacing trees removed except in the ROW. Barry LeBaron responded to the question about the assurance of what the developer is proposing to do, will he stick to the plan? Barry LeBaron stated there are no guarantees. Commissioner Dudziak questioned the 13 lot scenario presented by Mr. Bagwell; would he be able to fence along Shelton Drive if the homes faced Forest Lane? Barry LeBaron responded there is a provision in the Land Development Code that allows for perimeter fencing and there are certain requirements for that fence. Commissioner Byerly questioned staff about the fencing distance. Barry LeBaron responded could be built on the ROW, minimum 60 ft., 30 ft. from the center line of Shelton Drive. Barry LeBaron stated the developer will have to address the drainage issues at the time of platting. He also stated staff will get with the public works department and the engineering department to address all sewer and water pressure needs of this neighborhood. Commissioner Duffy questioned staff about who is the responsible party for knowing what the 6 inch water line can take as far as the number of people and so forth? Barry LeBaron responded code only requires a 3 inch line; however, cities use a 4 inch sewer line in order to accommodate servicing. If the 6 inch line needs to be updated, the city has a water and sewer fund that could be used to accommodate those people. Commissioner Duffy stated needing to know what is currently there and what needs to be updated. Would this be the city or the developer's project? Barry LeBaron responded could be combination of both to improve those lines. Commissioner Duffy stated it being imprudent for the Commissioners to allow an area to increase in density without knowing whether or not the area can handle it. Commissioner Duffy stated wanting to see if there is a study available? Barry LeBaron responded staff would check to see. Commissioner Duffy questioned the issues of drainage mentioned; does staff have any thoughts in the area of drainage? Barry LeBaron stated staff would also check, does not think so at this time. Commissioner Duffy stated wanting to see documentation about the March 8, 2004 meeting regarding this same case. Barry LeBaron responded staff would provide that information as well. Commissioner Dudziak concurred with Commissioner Duffy with it being imprudent for Commissioners to make a decision without having more information about the impact on the entire street. What are the differences on the 13 or 14 lots as far as impact? Are there any improvements for Shelton? What is the precedent for R20 in this neighborhood? Barry LeBaron responded the master plan does not make a distinction between residential as high or low density, just residential area. All cases are considered individually. Commissioner Dudziak stated again, some of these issues need to be known before an accurate decision can be made. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - December 13, 2004 Page 6 of 9 Commissioner Byerly questioned staff about the engineering process? Barry LeBaron responded engineering makes notations at the time of platting and who would be responsible for such improvements, whether it is capital improvements or ones that the developer has to incur are then decided upon. Commissioner Byerly stated to look at this case as zoning, not by these other issues. Those issues can be addressed at the time of platting. All of the R40 zoning are proposed along the side of already R40 zoning. The R40, R20 configuration gives the open space feel along Shelton Drive. Therefore, Commissioner Byerly stated being in favor of this proposal. Commissioner Duffy made motion to table case Z-04-042. Commissioner Dudziak seconded. The motion was approved by the following vote: Aye: Dudziak, Bartkowski, Blassingame, Duffy Nay: Dolan, Byerly 5.

The motion was approved by the following vote: Aye: Dudziak, Bartkowski, Blassingame, Duffy Nay: Dolan, Byerly STAFF REPORTS Barry LeBaron stated staff is preparing sign up sheets for citizens to use for the Planning and Zoning Commission meetings. These sheets will help staff to have the proper spelling of the citizen's name. He also stated staff will schedule a date in January to have a work shop in regards to PUD regulations. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Commissioner Byerly stated he does not like to table items. He wanted to be able to decide on the zoning cases presented so that the applicant would have a better understanding about what concerns need to be addressed. Commissioner Duffy stated not being comfortable with making a decision with hearing the concerns of the citizens. Commissioner Dolan stated wanting to make a decision as well for the zoning and then the other issues would be taken care of at the time of platting. The majority of the Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - December 13, 2004 Page 7 of 9 people stated they could live with the R40 zoning and then this would be resolved. Commissioner Dudziak stated the R40 zoning was a compromise, but the water issues these people had, far out weighed the zoning compromise. More information needs to be provided about the sewer and water issues. ADJOURNMENT The Commission adjourned the meeting at 9:45 p.m. by acclamation.
