Answer: These will be 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units. 22. Question: What is the proposed price range of these units? Answer: They will be $100,000 to $130,000, if possible. 23. Comment: Regarding the issue of aesthetics, I am really glad that you are thinking about that. Many projects to the west, towards Taft Hill Road and Overland Trail, are very unimaginative. Response: We need to work harder to give people a sense of place and neighborhood. 12. Comment: My concern is that this development will generate a lot more traffic, especially with the entry directly onto Landings Drive. 13. Question: Has this property always been zoned "commercial", never zoned to allow single family residential? Answer: The property is currently zoned E - Employment, which does allow different residential densities as a secondary use in conjunction with other land uses. Previously the property was zoned RP - Planned Residential, which was a zoning district for areas planned as a unit to provide a variation in land use and building placement. 14. Question: Will the City be able to change or affect the existing entrance into the Post Office, possibly to make it safer? Answer: Basically, the City has no jurisdiction over the Post Office. 15. Comment: There is concern about the nature of the future residents that will live in this development. Could it be students and many people in a unit? 16. Question: How will this residential development be a better, low impact development than the small office complex to the south? Which project will generate more traffic? Answer: We will have to contact the Traffic Engineering Department for a response to this question. 17. Question: Why does the density of the development have to be this high? Could there be fewer units for the project to work? Answer: We will probably need this number of units to make the project economically feasible. 18. Comment: Most residents in the area prefer residential uses over commercial uses on this property; however, does the density have to be so high? 19. Comment: There are concerns about the noise level from this development, as well as additional traffic. 20. Comment: There was a huge difference in noise levels (increase) from the streets and commercial development to the west when the ditch company removed trees along the ditch. 3 5 (ei 7 r:3 a Question: Will this development become part of the Landings Homeowner's Association? Answer: No, it will have its own HOA with separate covenants. It would be good to become part of an "umbrella" HOA, if that is possible. Comment: I would rather see this property development as residential and not more commercial. Comment: The increased traffic in the area because of this development will be a problem. Question: Could you please address the status of the blank triangle shown at the southwest corner of the property. Answer: Small, low impact retail or commercial could occur on that parcel of land. Question: Will all of the landscaping that is being shown here actually be in the project? Answer: Yes, there will be based on the City's Land Use Code requirements. There will be a HOA to maintain the open space and landscaping. Comment: It would be a good idea to have a representative of this development be a part of the overall HOA. Comment: It would be a good idea to have the ditch company maintain their trees along the ditch. 10. Comment: Please address the issue of traffic on Landings Drive. We talked to the City Traffic Department about traffic calming, speed bumps, etc. It would be good to have more police presence. Response: That is an issue that we will have to contact the Traffic Department about. We don't have answers for you this evening regarding this matter. 11. Comment: The increased volume of traffic in the area is a problem. The children are crossing the street to go to activities in different areas and this is of concern. Response: Perhaps a meeting with the residents, developers, and City Traffic Department is in order in the near future.
