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 />Ken 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.
