homes. Ms. Dalnes indicated City Code discusses general and specific requirements for allowing zoning amendments to Planned Unit Development (PUD), She reviewed the following criteria for the zoning amendments: Associate Planner Daines advised staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the preliminary plat and preliminary site plan, contingent upon receiving a rezoning to Planned Unit Development (-PUD) and compliance with the City Staff Review Letter, dated May 24, 2006, and Engineering comments dated May 30, 2006. It is Staff's opinion that the proposed deviations allow a unique design and product, and the plan sufficiently meets the intent of a Planned-Unit-Development. Furthermore, this site is constrained by surrounding development outside the control of the landowner. Detached town.homes provide a good alternative to traditional, attached townhomes. The density is substantially lower than what is permitted within this district. Citizen Input Anthony Wellman, Chairman of the Board of Ramsey. Assembly of God, owning property located at 14600 Nowthen Boulevard, stated the church's property is on the northwest property line of this site, and according to the map it is two lots away from the proposed frontage mad that will be a cul-de-sac for a while. The church has an interest in whether it is in the best interest of everyone for that cul'de-sac to be in place at the point' it is being proposed on the north side, specifically because the City will require that the road will continue on through their properties because it is a temporary cul-de-sac, and also because it is a requirement for the road to go through for the development of the next two properties. The road will take up the north side of the church's property and the east side, which is up against CR 5, and this will diminish the value of their property. He is not entirely sure how much of their property will be taken up at this point, but it looks pretty substantial. Mr. Wellman stated he is asking if the Commission would consider tabling this for discussion of the parties involved. The church did not find out there was a general plan until he called Breanne Daines today and spoke with Derwood yesterday. The church would like to talk with the Stritesky's, Derwood and Mr. Deemer all together. He thinks the new styles are a great idea, but it would be good to look at the cul-de-sac and frontage road to see if they could be done a little differently. He feels there is not going to be an alternative, and they need to look at whether Helium Street could go through the back side of the property, ~taking a little easement from everyone involved. The church has not received layouts of the overall area, but Derwood seemed to be in agreement that there will be a substantial loss of property if they continue with this proposal as it is, without at least discussion about the options and reasonable agreement of all the parties involved. Mr. Wellman stated he would also like to say in the two months since the church posted their property for sale he received not less than 30 calls from developers and from two dozen small business owners. The church has been set to a limit as to what they can do with their property from the City now, and that is affected by the development of Gary Stritesky's property. The church could have used the rental income from some small business owners, but it is zoned R-2 and they have been told it can.not be changed without -226-
