indicated the site plan was tabled until April 7, 2005 in order to review architectural elevations <br />and details for the proposed development. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik advised that none of the proposed townhouse <br />units meet the brick requirements, however all do include additional colors and architectural <br />elements, meeting the exception criteria. She stated'the Town Center Development Guidelines <br />also require 35% brick on units in the TC-4a area, though there is a similar exception process. <br />She indicated Staff would recommend the Planning Commission consider requiring additional <br />brick on the units directly fl'onting on Bunker Lake Boulevard. <br /> <br />Phil Dommer, BrightKeys, [nc. stated they agree to bring the units on Bunker Lake Boulevard up <br />to the 35% brick requirement. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Brauer, seconded by Commissioner Van Scoy to recommend approval <br />of the site plan of Town Center Gardens 3rd Addition with the recommendation that the units on <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard meet the 35% brick requirements. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy stated he wonders how it will look with brick along the Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard units, but different ti'om the rest. <br /> <br />Mr. Dommer stated they deliberately plmmed a mix of units so they do not achieve the cookie <br />cutter look. He indicated there are some components that tie all the units together, such as arbor <br />elements, brick, and stone. He stated there are three builders involved; Pulte Homes, Generation <br />Homes and BrightKeys. He believes the areas will tie together nicely without being exactly the <br />same throughout the area. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt noted that north or' Unit 16 it does not appear that the sidewalk connects the <br />east/west street ~ith the north/south street in the 'same section. <br /> <br />Mr. Dommer indicated that is a mistake, and it will be connected. He stated the idea is to funnel <br />traffic to that sidewalk. <br /> <br />Commissioner Watson stated they had talked about a walkable overpass to the Town Center, <br />which is clearly not shown. <br /> <br />City Engineer Linton stated there is a dollar value attached to a bridge. He noted the intersection <br />just west of this wilt be signalized, and is part of the Bunker Lake Boulevard improvements <br />slated for 2007. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Brauer, Van Scoy, Levine, <br />Shepherd, and Watson. Voting No: None.
