City Planner Anderson replied that density transitioning is typically done with landscaping in a <br /> mix of different styles of trees. <br /> Ms. Jongewaard asked if the developer would need to install their own transitioning rather than <br /> counting the trees on her property. <br /> City Planner Anderson confirmed that the developer would need to incorporate the transitioning <br /> on their property as part of their project. <br /> Ms. Jongewaard asked the proposed price point for this development. <br /> Mr. Bebo replied that his project would begin around the $300,000s for the villas and $350,000 <br /> for the larger lots. <br /> Ms. Jongewaard asked if there is typically an issue with homes ranging from$300,000 to$600,000 <br /> within the same development. <br /> Mr. Bebo replied that he will not have $600,000 homes in his development. <br /> Ms. Jongewaard stated that she is excited to have neighbors and additional children in the area but <br /> just wants to ensure that the development occurs in the correct manner and that that mix of <br /> development is right. She noted that this case and the previous case would share a street and <br /> become a large neighborhood. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill replied that the City can regulate aesthetics but cannot regulate <br /> price. He stated that a reasonable goal would be to have a range of housing products from starter <br /> to executive, which these two products would provide. <br /> Ms. Jongewaard stated that she would want to ensure that there is a sense of community within the <br /> range of different priced homes. <br /> Chairperson Bauer stated that is a decision the developer makes, and they do their research to <br /> ensure that the mix of homes would be cohesive. <br /> Mark Winger, 7610 168th Ave NW, stated that he is bothered by the statement that the developer <br /> needs to make the lot sizes smaller in order to meet the density for the site. He stated that this <br /> request includes every home with a smaller lot size than originally guided for. <br /> Deputy City Administrator Gladhill reviewed a resident comment stating that the resident was <br /> opposed to 55- and 65-foot-wide lots and requested a berm along 165th with a ten-foot privacy <br /> fence. <br /> Norm Novak commented that this is too many houses in a small area. He stated that if approved <br /> he would like the berm and privacy fence to provide a buffer but noted that he would also support <br /> nice trees and grass and sod that provide a nice aesthetic buffer. He stated that he would like the <br /> development to look nice if it moves forward. <br /> Planning Commission/May 7, 2020 <br /> Page 24 of 29 <br />
