8.01: Review Sketch Plan for Williams Woods; Case of Bill Boyum (Project 20-138) <br />Presentation <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl presented the Staff Report stating that staff recommends the <br />Commission direct the applicant to move forward into developing formal Preliminary Plat <br />application. <br />Commission Business <br />Chairperson Bauer stated that a comment was received related to a 60-foot corridor around the <br />lake and asked if that is included in the plan. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that the plan has not incorporated that at this time. She <br />stated that the 40-acre piece that the lake is on is completely wetland and not buildable. <br />Chairperson Bauer commented that he would like those comments to be a part of the record along <br />with the comments from Police Chief Katers related to the cul-de-sac and second access. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that without the City getting involved and taking <br />property from other property owners through a court process, a second access would not be <br />available. <br />Commissioner VanScoy referenced the December 3rd project documents and noted that there was <br />a comment from the Fire Department which states they prefer the second layout but believe a <br />second connection to the other neighborhood would need to be made. The comment stated that <br />without a second access there would be too many homes in the area with only one access. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl clarified that the December proposals included both 19 lots and nine <br />lots. <br />Commissioner Gengler commented that there have been comments related to future divisions and <br />potentials for lot splits. She asked if this were to move forward as nine lots, would there be <br />potential for additional lot splits in the future. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that staff also discussed that potential. She stated that <br />if there were a future request to split property following the creation of nine lots, it would have to <br />meet the subdivision requirements. She commented that while future development cannot be <br />restricted, it would be difficult to add more lots with the layout as proposed. She stated that the <br />applicant is proposing to market the two northern lots as executive lots and there is planned tree <br />preservation, but the applicant could speak to that more. <br />Commissioner VanScoy commented that there would be two 20 acre lots and if someone wanted <br />to subdivide in the future and eliminate the cul-de-sac, extending that to the north, he would not <br />believe there to be an issue with lot width. <br />
