take care of the problem. He indicated they all agree it is a nice looking product, and if he were <br />living in a single-family home he would not mind looking at row homes across the street versus <br />the morc dense looking court houses. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer indicated that it would be nice if there was more green space, also. He <br />slated he realizes they are dealing with economics, but a central green area for all of this might <br />also make a nice transition from the single-family to dense housing. He added he likes the ponds <br />and with trails it would be a nice place to live. <br /> <br />Jenny Ih'ock, 15240 Kangaroo indicated she lives on the corner of Alpine and Kangaroo. She <br />stated she just spent a lot of money remodeling her home, and when she was here for the traffic <br />meetings there was no mention of this development. She noted if there had been, she would have <br />sold her home and left rather than remodel. She indicated she does not want 66-foot lots behind <br />her, stating the traffic is already bad enough. She stated if all those homes go behind her with <br />traffic and traffic lights she will be awake all night. She indicated there was no mention of this at <br />~he trafllc meetings, and a lot of people would have liked to hear about it before now. <br /> <br />Ms. llrock askcd how many units would be in each of the apartment buildings. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated they all share the same concern for density in the northwest corner. He <br />indicated the Planning Commission is trying to move away from the 66-foot lots and use a <br />dill'trent type of development format without the impact on Ms. Brock's property. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt noted that a typical lot width is 80 feet, so there could potentially be three to <br />homes abutting her without any intervention from the Planning Commission whatsoever. <br /> <br />Ms. Brock reiterated that if this was brought up before she remodeled her home, she never would <br />have done that. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated that you have to assume that with the zoning that is currently on the <br />property adjacent to Ms. Brock that the possibility of development is there. It cannot stay <br />undeveloped land forever. <br /> <br />Ms. Brock indicated she has seen some of the Pulte Homes, and they seem like nice homes. She <br />stated her concern is with the density of homes behind her. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt noted that the Planning Commission agrees, and Ms. Brock heard them all <br />~:ommcnt on the same thing tonight. He stated they will continue to address those concerns as <br />this moves forward. <br /> <br />Ms. Brock stated if you take that many units, and put several people in each unit, there could be <br />1000's of people behind her. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt noted the City will see considerable growth over the next few years. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/March 10, 2005 <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
