Minutes for meeting of February 6, 1968 were read
and approved.
Item #2
#2-68 Consider Matador Unit Development Plan involving
13.259 acres with a density not exceeding 20 units
per acre.
Bob Engelke: Located the tract and explained the Board
of Zoning Appeals approval of density variance and the
surrounding zoning.
Attorney, Dave Wood: (For proponents)
1. There was no provision for Unit Development under
the previous ordinance which limited the discretion
on the part of the board in reviewing the site plans.
2. Section 19.2 sets special requirements.
•
3. Explained Zoning Board of Appeals variance.
4. Phase No. 1 is completed.
5. Bartran, Jr. originally presented it under the
old ordinance and went to Zoning Board of Appeals on
lack of frontage problem on the first phase.
6. There has been some change in Phase No. 2 and 3.
We are now asking for approval on Phase No. 2.
7. Forty-three percent open space in Phase No. 2. The
total development will exceed twenty-five percent
required. The open space is to be the responsibility
of the owners.
Bob Engelke: Pointed out the location of parking and
driveways in rear of single familydevelopment now
existing creating the effect of double frontage lots.
Mr. Bartran: Referred back to the first master plan
and showed screening between apartments and single
family houses providing interior courts by this plan.
Cannot screen now for total ditch perimeter.
Bob Engelke: Original concept of Unit Development
was to have 12 units and have sufficient open area for
parking and screening thereby being compatible with the
area.
Dave Wood: Density moot question'.
Bob Engelke: Not since plans are under consideration.
Again mentioned rear yards (living area) adjoin the
•
tract in question. Landscaping will not be effective
for a period of years. Need a set back on the parking
