Public Hearing: PUD Amendment
02-PUD-01-A01 for
Mr. Jones said the previously-approved Trotter’s Village PUD
was designed as neo-traditional development with single-family and townhomes and
a commercial component. He said the
original PUD lot sizes ranged in size from 4,400 to 20,000 square feet. He said the amendment proposes to rearrange
the single-family lots and townhomes in the development. He said the amendment proposes lot sizes
ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 square feet and decreased the total number of
units from 172 to 171. The density of
2.05 units per acre compared to the original PUD of 3.54 units per acre. He said the amendment has added open space to
30.01 acres, up from the 23.21 acres of open space in the original PUD. This is approximately 36% of the project area
in open space.
Mr. Jones said the amendment does reduce the commercial
component of the project down from 73,250 square feet of retail/office space to
60,000 square feet of retail/office space.
Mr. Jones summarized the amendments
the developer is requesting as follows:
*
name
change from Trotter’s Village to Morgan Park;
*
parcel
layout – includes the acreage, lots,
streets, utilities, and storm drainage/ponds;
*
lot
size, lot count and distribution;
*
creating
single-family and townhome lots without public street frontage;
*
commercial
parcel acreage adjustment as well as building size and parking;
*
*
tree
protection fencing was adjusted to match parcel layout;
*
street
cross sections were changed to match Town regulations, including sidewalk
locations; and
*
includes
a village house and patio home detail with 0’ lot lines.
Mr. Jones reported
there would be access from
With that explanation completed,
Mayor Sears opened the public hearing to accept input. The following comments were recorded:
Tom McKay,
Mr. McKay did note conflicting
information regarding the commercial square footage. He said he did not believe his amendment
would actually reduce the commercial square footage. He said he would work with staff to clear up
any confusion. He wanted Council members
to know, however, that the amendment does actually increase the acreage of
commercial area – only slightly -- but that there would be no change to the
commercial square footage.
Charles Schahd,
Debbie Franzon, 1212 Happy Trails
– Ms. Franzon expressed concern that Morgan Park would not be in keeping with
the 2-acre and plus lots that are situated along Logging Trail and Happy Trails
next door.
Robert Forcum,
Mr. Forcum also pointed to the
congestion that already exists on
He also noted the open space that is
mentioned in the plan. He said the open
space is large, but it is all located to the rear of the parcel and is not
useable for active recreation.
Mr. Forcum also questioned the need
for the commercial component with the proximity of proposed commercial
development in the rear.
There being no further input, the
public hearing was closed.
Councilman Atwell pointed out that
the density calculations appear to provide a less dense development, but when
the original plan calculations were devised, the open space was compared to
total area. The new calculations for
Morgan Park are compared to developable area.
Mr. Jones agreed.
Action:
The Council approved a motion to forward
Planned Unit Development application 02-PUD-01-A01 for Trotter’s Village
(Morgan Park) PUD to the Planning Board for
further review and recommendation.
