<br />need to be developed as a unit to deal with the traffic issues and the aspect of Nowthen <br />Boulevard. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer suggested tabling this application to allow staff and the landowners to <br />work together. <br /> <br />Gary Strite sky, applicant, stated they have tried to accommodate everything possible. The plat <br />has gone from 12 units to 9 units, and now to 7 units. They wanted to utilize a private road <br />because they will lose just as much property as anyone else with the public road. The <br />Commission has said the City is giving them favors with this plat, but they have done the same. <br /> <br />Aaron Stritesky, applicant, stated the selling price of the other two landowners is not justifiable <br />due to the considerable loss of land when the road goes through. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer inquired about the prospect of something being worked out with the <br />adjacent landowners. <br /> <br />Mr. Aaron Strite sky replied this would not happen unless there is a drastic change. <br /> <br />Mr. Gary Stritesky stated he has done research regarding safety with the cul-de-sac, and it could <br />be accessed by emergency vehicles. Ponding is always an issue, and that has been worked out. <br />He has been told ponds would not be required, but he was under the impression everything must <br />be ponded with multi-family housing. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski advised water cannot be discharged without water quality treatment and <br />volume constraints. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated from his point of view it would be difficult to approve this application. <br />The public road is located adjacent to Nowthen Boulevard; without elevations that would show <br />some boulevard tree plantings to separate the service road from Nowthen Boulevard, the plat <br />would include Nowthen Boulevard, a bituminous path, and a public road all in succession, which <br />would not be an aesthetic setup. <br /> <br />Mr. Gary Strite sky stated they could have proposed multi-unit structures, but they tried not to do <br />that because there are already too many of those in the City. Because of the uniqueness of the <br />property they wanted to give a unique, different product. He explained if the road is moved to <br />the west it would eliminate the large bushes that are currently there. <br /> <br />Mr. Aaron Strite sky stated they are trying to provide something new and different. He explained <br />putting the road between the townhomes and CR 5 separates the townhomes from the county <br />ro~ . <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated there is currently not anything in City Code that permits detached <br />townhomes. He has been pointing this out for two years, and is beginning to lose his patience. <br />Staff can indicate that detached townhomes are pennitted by a PUD, but even if that were to be <br />agreed to, when looking to the R-2 standards, which essentially they are trying to follow, the <br />detached townhomes do not even come close. In order to approve more detached townhomes in <br />the City they need to be included in the Code. <br /> <br />19 <br />
