Community Development Director Gladhill commented four to seven units per acre would be <br />allowed in MDR. He reported staff did not support an MDR zoning for these parcels. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated the residents surrounding this property do not support a rezoning <br />to MDR. He encouraged the City to keep the parcels zoned R-1. <br />Commissioner Woestehoff agreed. <br />Commissioner Surma stated he believed improvements were needed along Alpine Drive <br />especially if these parcels are to develop in the near future. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill commented the City was aware of the need to make <br />improvements to Alpine Drive to improve safety. He discussed a project the City Council would <br />be considering at their next meeting that would bring about improvements at Alpine Drive and <br />Armstrong Boulevard. He understood that safety improvements were needed given the <br />increasing level of traffic along Alpine Drive. <br />Vice Chairperson VanScoy expressed concern with the transition or buffer language the City had <br />in place. He stated he did not support changing the zoning of the parcels and recommended the <br />parcels remain R-1 MUSA. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill thanked the Commission for their feedback and <br />noted the consensus was to keep the zoning for these parcels R-1. <br />Northfork Development Parcel: <br />Community Development Director Gladhill commented the proposal for the Northfork parcel <br />was to go to R-2 medium density zoning and noted this parcel was outside the MUSA. He <br />provided further comment on the adjacent developments and noted the Northfork Golf Course <br />neighborhood opposed the rezoning of this parcel. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated he would like to hear from the Northfork Golf Course residents <br />regarding their concerns. <br />Vice Chairperson VanScoy requested further information on the proposed plans for the Northfork <br />site. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the proposed plans with the Commission. <br />Vice Chairperson VanScoy commented that screening would be very important for a <br />development on this parcel. <br />Commissioner Gengler supported this parcel being zoned Medium Density Residential given the <br />natural buffer that would be created by Alpine Drive. <br />Planning Commission/August 2, 2018 <br />Page 10 of 13 <br />
