TAYLOR A.-194 Playho.xse Company, Inc. A-104 l A Public Hearing was held to consider the rezoning request of PLAM-RUSE U11PANY Delos B. Taylor P-r:d the Playhouse Company. The Petitioners propose to rezone an area of approximately 131 acres Southwest Rezoning from R -O of I- ighway SS anti Vicksburg- Lane from R-0 to 1-1 to the Nt-rth, to R-1, R- R- R-1 to the }kst ' oini g Mapledell and R-3 and R-4 for tho, remaining area to ifte East along Vicksburg. The Public Hearing was opened at 7,40 pm. PUBLIC HEARING Planner Overhiser explained that the Planning Commission has denied the Petatior , l s rezoning on this property on previous occasions, the last being in December of 1971. Following this denial, they were given iui.dance to the effect that I-1 should be limited to the area North of the proposed *,diva. Road: and that the over-all density of the residential area should not exceed 4 units per acre with 2 units/acre density West of the creels, 4 units/acre dengit r to the East near Vicksburg Lane and 6 units/acre density to tlae earth near a Road.Ie pointed out that the pres.(°nt propos*l, has an over-all density of 6 units per acre. The staff recommendation was to approve the R-1 area zoning but not necessarily according to the platting shown on the plan They recommended that the 1-1 area be limited to the area North of proposed. Medina. Road, and they recommended that no action be taken on the multiple residents at this time with the suggestion that the Petitioners reduce the density 'to 365 units in this area. Plwarmil g Commission - 2 - May 3, 1972 Architect Harold Birkeland presented the Petitioners plans to PROPONMTS the Commission. He stated he felt the R--1 area was laid out according to the Zoning Ordinance and should be acceptable. He pointed out that the density in the miltiple residential area also does not exceed the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance ir- regardless of the Planning Com.,i ssion and Council reconmendati.ons. He explained that they have triad to align the project to the natural topography of the land. Timothy Bunn appeared representing the Mapledell residents, Be OPPONPNrS said itwas his impression that the Council had not finalized the place,imt of Medina Road He pointed out that the present plan shows more units than the previous plans which were rejected. This plan does not provide the necessary transition from Shenan- doah because this density is higher than Shenandoah. He felt Vicksburg is a natural barrier for industry to be limited to the Bast. With all of the open space available in Plymouth, he felt itis not necessary to place industry and apartments in this area; and the placement of the industry and apartments are such that they will look down on Mapledell. He does not agree with the xecomnendations of the Planning Commission ani Council and felt the additional traffic from the R-1 area into Mapledell will both cause traffic problems and lower prcperty values. Al Sjoberg, 16500 29th Avenue North, told the Comini,ssion that as late as 1:969 there was an official pamphlet of the Village which specifically stated that Vicksburg Sane would be the dividing line. Ile stated three points of concern: (1) they moved to Plymouth to get away from factories and apartment buildings; (2) traffic problems will be created by the street layout as none of the streets exit onto a thoroughfare street; and C3) A'tapl.edell's property values will drop, He pointed out that of multiple residence is approved in this area it would be natural, for the area to the South also to be zoned multiple which would isolate Maple - dell. Planner Ovverhiser informed the Commission that the density of Shenandoah was between 10 and 12 units/acre. Ilse Public I*aring was closed at 8:20 p.m..
