FOR ADULT HALFWAY HOUSE (86080). lotion carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes. Director Tremere stated the Planning Commission reviewed the PUD application as submitted on November 19 and recommended denial. The proposal is to develop the land being purchased from the City with 77 single family residential lots. The Planning Com- mission findings were that the PUD criteria were not met and, specifically, the record indicates that private open space wasn't provided. The Council can deny the concept plan, direct It back to the Planning Commission, or approve the plan subject to standard PUD conditions. Staff's concern with the layout and design would also focus on the guiding of the area as conducive to a higher density and attached housing on the north side. This plan does not reflect this density. He summarized the timing of the application since Its submittal in July, 1986 in response to Questions from Coun- c L Imember Zi tur. Fran Hagen, representingv k hthedeeloper, asked that the Planning Commission recommendation not be affirmed and Instead referred back to them with direction for changes. They feel they are close to having a plan which would be acceptable. the time spent between the initial submission and present was to deter- mine the type of development to be proposed and changing their plans based upon recommendations of their marketing consultant. The City wants more land for private open space and park which they erroneously didn't provide in the sout area. They believe they are close to an agreement with the neighborhood and want the extra time to work it out. They can have a revised plan back to the Planning Commission In approximately two weeks. Councllmember Craln asked If they planned to meet with the neighbors to the south prior to coming back to the Planning Com- mission. Mr. Hagen answered that they plan to and will work with them on the lot arrangement and open space. Discussion followed on the amount of open space, who would pay for It, who would maintain It, and the length of time It has taken to get the plan before the Council. 0 r RESOLUTION N0. 86-792 C.U.P.

The plans call for a leveling of all trees and vegeta- tion and they would like much of it savod. Me believes discus•- slons. ars going in the right direction. Carol ftemell, 3M Rosewood lane, stated they were told by WgNwrs that Westnlnfater would have open space because it was adjacomt to a regional park. This property has since' been traded for another plat. Not NeCullought 3355 Romeo ed lane, representing Heritage Ra es, s ated they feel the proposal is appropriate for the area and support it. They believe it would be -inappropriate to get too high a density to the north of C.R. 61. They urged that the Council send the plan bat;k to the Planning Commission and neighborhood. Mayor Schneider explained that the City's concern 14 that the developer purchased this land from the City and may be oanking It by holding It in the hopes that its value will rise. The City seeks a more timely development. The lower density propos- ed for the north elde, which has LA -2 land, should not be can- pensated by a more dense layout on the south side which is lack- ing private open space. jft Counellsember Sisk suggested that the north side of C.R. 61 r could remain single family. On the south side, he suggested the plan be revised to reduce the density. He doesn't beleive It would be fair for this development to maintain a play area which will be used by a larger area with many more children. He believes the open space should be confined in the area and not directed for use by children outside the davelopment. Director Blank stated that when the Comprehensive Plan was developed In 19829 the decision was made that the City shovId not own tot lots: they should be privately owned. It would be very costly for the City to maintain one acre parks throughout the City. Councilmember Crain agreed that there are nev areas of the City which are Isolated from convenient recreational facilities. He ag:evs some privately owned open Space should be provided in this parcel. Mayo Schneider suggested a homeowners association be respon- sible rhich could be a trade off for getting the PUD status, MOTION ekes made by Counailmember Sisk, seconded by Councllmember Crain, to remand the matter to the Planning Commission Nith dt- reetlon that single family housing may be proposed on the north side of C.R. 61, but that density in the south area be reducediandthat, in order to qualify for the PUD, there be effective land layout providing more private open space. 1 qJ.
