<br />Community Development Director Gladhill commented on the architecture of the homes, <br />roadway width, sidewalk plan and stormwater retention pond concerns that were raised by the <br />Commission. He requested the Commission reach a consensus on these matters prior to <br />approving the Preliminary Plat. <br /> <br />There was Commission consensus to support a 29-foot restricted roadway width. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer understood the development would have sidewalks on one side of the road <br />throughout the entire development. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy questioned why the developer had not considered sidewalks for both <br />sides of the street. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported the developer was offered some flexibility <br />though the PUD and for this reason, sidewalks were being proposed for only one side of the <br />street. <br /> <br />Mr. Bona discussed how the lots would be impacted if sidewalks were required. He did not <br />believe it was standard for developments to have sidewalks on both sides of the street and <br />requested that sidewalks only be required on one side of the street. It was his opinion the <br />development would be adequately serving pedestrians through by the sidewalks and trails in the <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />There was Commission consensus to support the proposed sidewalk plan. <br /> <br />There was Commission consensus to support the stormwater retention ponds as proposed. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill provided the Commission with several more housing <br />options for the neighborhood, noting several homes would allow for front porches. He requested <br />feedback from the Commission regarding the housing architecture. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer understood the developer had additional housing options that would allow for <br />porches. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nosan believed the housing styles looked great. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer was pleased the developer had a large number of housing options for this <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />Commissioner Surma asked if the developer had any single level housing options. <br /> <br />Mr. Bona stated he did have a single level housing option available. <br /> <br /> <br />Planning Commission/May 4, 2017 <br />Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br />
