Staff sent hearing notices to owners of property in access of the 350 feet <br />requirement and all residents of the Flintwood Planned Unit Development. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The property is 16.67 acres in size and is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). <br />The preliminary plat accompanying the application proposes to develop the entire parcel with 17 <br />detached townhomes, 40 twinhomes and a future apartment complex. The adjacent parcels to the <br />north and west (Flintwood Hills 2~a -5t~ Addition) are zoned Planned Unit Development. The <br />parcels on the east are zoned B-1 Business.
