On April 4, the Planning Commission reviewed the four proposed street layouts and selected the option stubbing in a cul-de-sac from Dysprosium, not extending Argon and Barium from the north into the plat, and all interior streets being private. The Planning Commission recommended approval ofrezoning and preliminary plat. On April 25, 2000, the City Council reviewed the proposed preliminary plat and rezoning and tabled action so that there could be further discussions on the density of the southerly portion of the development at the next City Council Work session. On May 2, 2000, Mr. Bulow attended a City Council work session. The consensus was that twinhomes would be an acceptable alternative plan for that area proposed for apartments. On May 3 2000, Mr. Bulow informed the Planning Commission of the change from apartment complexes to the lower density twin home development. The Commission was in favor of this change. On May 12, 2000, Mr. Bulow submitted revised Preliminary Plats and Site Plans that proposed to replace the apartment complex with quad townhomes units. Recommendation: City staff has reviewed the landscaping plan and has recommended increasing the number of plants species that have a high success rate in RamseY, as well as increasing the number of trees for screening in the northern portion of the property. Staff is further suggesting that a minimum of 1 tree per 35 feet along County Road 116 be included as well as increased landscaping in the common areas, along the private path, around the gazebo and at the rear of the townhome units. City Staff is also suggesting that a sidewalk be installed along 140t~ Street to Dysprosium Street. City Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval on the rezoning from B1 and B2 to a Planned Unit Development.
