City Planner Anderson replied that he assumes that the plan was developed based on comments <br />from the previous iteration. He stated that if this has morphed into small lot single family, or <br />something similar to COR 3, planting requirements would be based on street frontage. He stated <br />that the landscaping plan could then be modified and some of this confusion might be eliminated. <br />He agreed that it does not appear density transitioning would be required as part of this initial <br />phase. <br /> <br />Mr. Lazan stated that he would be more than happy to work with staff to better reflect the <br />requirements of small lot single family. He noted that they would also be willing to work to <br />allow more diversity in building materials as well. He agreed that perhaps the staff comments <br />from the previous concept were carried through in the development of this plat. <br /> <br />6.02: Approve Planning Framework for Highway 10 South Planning Area Riverstone <br />South <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill presented the Staff Report stating that staff would like clear <br />policy direction on the points raised in the staff report. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Commissioner Gengler asked to see the alternative road layouts and which is being proposed. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that this was developed later in the process because of <br />input from residents on Bowers Drive. He provided additional details on the road alignment and <br />connection to Bowers Drive. He noted that the connection to Bowers would be a public road but <br />would not be Riverdale Drive. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy referenced the public safety connection to Bowers Drive and noted that <br />under any other circumstance he would not understand why a minimum access for safety is being <br />considered as it seems inadequate. He stated that there are a lot of residents on Bowers Drive <br />and asked why a connection to the new development is not proposed. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill noted that has been discussed at length. He stated that there <br />has been opposition from those on Bowers Drive. He noted that the existing situation was not <br />created by the developer. He stated that City can choose to make the road a full road, but the <br />residents on Bowers Drive do not want that. He stated that public safety feels that it would be <br />adequate as proposed. He stated that the two neighbors in Pearson Place seemed unaware that <br />the plan would be to connect the area, even though the 60-foot corridor was collected. He stated <br />that the Commission could make the recommendation for a full road, but this seemed to be an <br />adequate compromise. <br /> <br /> <br />Planning Commission/ June 4, 2020 <br />Page 14 of 18 <br /> <br />
