Justin Eilers, CommonBond Communities, discussed his companies 35 year history with creating <br /> high quality housing. He noted that the proposed complex would have 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units, <br /> along with a community room. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy asked if any of the units would have ground access to Sunwood Drive. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reported that preliminary plans showed access to <br /> Sunwood Drive; however, this was altered through later architectural renderings of the building. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy questioned how large the tree trench would be. <br /> Kent Simon, Miller Hanson Partners Architects, reviewed the size of the tree trench on the west <br /> side of the parking lot. He noted this trench would be a good way for the site to manage its <br /> stormwater. He discussed the energy efficient options that would be pursued for this building. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy was not pleased with the aesthetics of the building and encouraged the <br /> architect to improve the design. <br /> Commissioner Andrusko wanted to see enhanced architectural elements around the doorways <br /> with access at street level. <br /> Mr. Eilers noted only five units would be served through access at street level. <br /> Chairperson Levine stated he supported the look of the building. <br /> Commissioner Nosan inquired if the new units would be market rate or affordable housing. <br /> Mr. Eilers indicated the units would be affordable. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Andrusko, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to recommend that <br /> City Council adopt Resolution#15-04-088 Approving the Plat entitled `SUNWOOD VILLAGE' <br /> having staff speak further with the applicant regarding street level access to units on Sunwood <br /> Drive. <br /> Motion Carried.
