and 2008. He was pleased to see there was a demand for housing again. He understood he <br /> would need to work through the infrastructure agreements with the City. He encouraged the <br /> Planning Commission to support his request. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed, for a point of reference, the original plat <br /> noting the developer had previously requested 77 lots. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy questioned how much of the new plat would be greenspace. He asked if <br /> there were any safety concerns with the proposed depth of the pond. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the greenspace within the proposed plat. <br /> Curt Quantance, engineer for the project, explained he engineered both the 2007 and 2016 plats. <br /> He explained the only difference was that an entrance had been cut off and the stormwater pond <br /> had been enlarged. It was noted in 2007 he had proposed an infiltration basin, which was no <br /> longer allowed. He did not believe the 4'/z foot pond was too deep should not become a safety <br /> concern. He explained the slope would be very flat for the first 10 feet. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reported the Preliminary Plat had been reviewed by <br /> the City Engineer and the Public Safety Team and no concerns were raised regarding the <br /> stormwater pond. <br /> Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Andrusko, to close the public <br /> hearing. <br /> Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Vice Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners VanScoy, Andrusko, <br /> Brauer, Maul, and Nosan. Voting No: None. Absent: Chairperson Levine. <br /> Vice Chairperson Bauer closed the public hearing closed at 7:29 p.m. <br /> Commission Business <br /> Commissioner Brauer asked how vetted the City was to the previous plat. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill indicated the City was not obligated to the previous <br /> preliminary plat due to the fact the plat was not extended. The property has since defaulted back <br /> to current zoning regulations. He explained the Commission could grant the additional five <br /> units. He provided further comment on the current zoning requirements within The COR, along <br /> with the tools (variance or PUD) available for the Commission. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy indicated the proposed plat does not meet the City's requirements at this <br /> time. For this reason, he did not support approval. He feared a precedent would be set. He <br /> suggested a variance or PUD be pursued. He was interested in learning more about the densities <br /> of the surrounding developments. <br /> Planning Commission/April 7,2016 <br /> Page 4 of 14 <br />
