5.02: Consider Preliminary Plat Approval for The Station; Case of D R Horton (Project <br />No. 16-09) <br />Public Hearing <br />Vice Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:06 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />Community Development Director Gladhill presented the staff report stating the City has <br />received an Application for Preliminary Plat Approval for a 77-unit townhome development <br />located in The COR. This plat was originally approved in 2006 as Ramsey Town Center 6th <br />Addition, with minor modifications. Staff discussed the request further and recommended <br />approval of the Preliminary Plat, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter. <br />Citizen Input <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if the same level of density was previously approved by the City. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained the same level of density was previously <br />approved. <br />Commissioner VanScoy questioned if this phase of the development was consistent with Phase I. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill believed this to be the case. He indicated The COR <br />was the most densely populated portion of the City. <br />Vice Chairperson Bauer indicated the Preliminary Plat review would be the Commission's only <br />chance to provide comments on this proposal. <br />Commissioner Brauer inquired if the City had any record of the previous plat. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill indicated staff does have record of the previous plat. <br />This information was not provided to the Planning Commission to avoid confusion. He was <br />willing to provide this documentation to the Commission if desired. <br />Commissioner Andrusko asked if the City had a cost -share policy in place for infrastructure <br />improvements. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated this would be worked through with the City <br />Administrator and the Finance Director. He indicated there were a number of agreements <br />previously in place with general parameters. He reported the City Council would be working <br />through this issue with the developer. <br />Mike Surell, 20860 Cambridge Court with D.R. Horton, explained he has conducted a number of <br />developments with the City. He discussed how the housing market had been impacted in 2007 <br />Planning Commission/April 7, 2016 <br />Page 3 of 14 <br />
