He stated that the City has received an <br />application for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Zoning Amendment, and Preliminary Plat <br />from Lennar for a proposed residential development on the property generally located west of <br />Armstrong Boulevard, south of 151 st Lane, and north of Bunker Laker Boulevard. <br />Board Member Hiatt referenced the 35- or 45-foot corridor and asked if that would be the choice <br />of the applicant. He asked whether the existing homeowners would have the ability to provide <br />input. <br />City Planner Anderson replied that one existing homeowner attended the neighborhood meeting <br />and had a preference for the berm. He stated that input has been relayed to the applicant. He noted <br />that including a berm reduces the width of the corridor and related plantings and therefore most <br />developers will attempt to utilize that method of density transitioning. <br />Chairperson Moore referenced the one property owner that attended the earlier meeting and asked <br />if there would be another opportunity for residents to attend a meeting and provide input. <br />City Planner Anderson replied that there is a public hearing scheduled the following week with <br />the Planning Commission and the Comprehensive Plan amendment will go before the City Council <br />the following Tuesday as well. He stated that although the City Council case is not a public <br />hearing, the Council has always been very inviting to allow members of the public to speak on an <br />agenda item. <br />Motion by Board Member Little and seconded by Board Member Bernard to recommend approval <br />of the Landscape and Tree Preservation Plans with the following contingencies: <br />• Revise all applicable plan sheets to provide either the 45-foot-wide corridor and required <br />number of plantings or a 35-foot-wide corridor with a berm and required plantings to <br />ensure compliance with the density transitioning standards. <br />• Provide a separate planting schedule for the density transitioning plantings and the base <br />landscape plantings. <br />Environmental Policy Board / August 16, 2021 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />
