It looks like you really took our comments and concerns into consideration. 48. What is the time line on this PUD? Mitch... June 24 is the scheduled date for this to go before the P&Z Board for Preliminary approval, then it would have to go through Final review which is also a 9 week process. - up to 2 months or so for - probably couldn't start building any sooner than winter/October, 1996. Meeting broke-up/adjourned at this point. 39. Will there be sidewalks along the south side of Plum? A. The existing one will stay. -and connections will be made into and throughout the development 40. What size will the sidewalks be? A. ... same ... 4 feet 41. Most of Pear is all electric. Will these homes have gas? A. Yes... <How much to switch my house?...> 42. On the original preliminary drawing, one thing I liked was that it didn't have a garage right on the street. Will the ones that face Plum still have recessed garages? A. The city likes that ... and that's been the direction they've been pushing us in. We have no objection to recessing the garage doors and pulling the front doors and porches up to the front of the house. 43. What will be the average square footage of the houses? A. About 1200 square feet, and not garden level 44. Will the architecture be the same as was shown in the last meeting? A. We now have different size lots, so the architecture will have to be adjusted... still working on it 45. Is the developers main thrust to earn lots of money?.... -are lots for sale, without homes? A. It is not my intention to sell the lots without a contract to build the home, but of course, "everything has its price." 30. The problem for me is the high density here ... and there. A. The proposed project before us is not high density. This is low. 31. Are the lot sizes the same in the new development? It looks like it's scaled down. A. The average size of these lots is significantly larger than they were at the 1st meeting. 32. Is the open space required by the city? A. Yes... as detention. 33. What will you do with it? A. Detain stormwater/runoff so that it can be released at acceptable levels. 34. This plan is a great improvement over before. Congratulations! 35. Will you still have the same landscaping along Plum? A. No. That will be left up to the individual home owner. -there will be a privacy fence along the west and south boundaries. 36. Is there any way to address the traffic? We can't have pedestrian access. Is there anything we can do? Mitch... traffic calming could be considered, speed bumps, cul-de-sacs, etc. But with just 13 lots, a traffic study is not required, and improvements are normally required as called for by the traffic.studies. Without the study, no off site improvements would be required. 37. (Dev.)We can be sure that traffic is kept to a minimum by overall design. 38. 1 live on the northeast corner of Plum .... we get runoff in the winter --runs down the street and we get 3 to 4 feet of frozen ice covering the sidewalk and part of the - street. When that runs down in the winter, you'll have a massive thaw. Mitch... the stormwater detention should manage the release rates. A. The run off from the site will not increase the rate. 23. It's not definite? A. Well, there are many private haulers, but we can consider writing that into the covenants. 24. Who decides on a pedestrian access from PUD/Elizabeth? (because buses pick-up on Eliz.) A. That would be through private property, and that property owner would have to be willing to provide an access easement across his/her property. If that property should ever want to develop, the City would require such a connection. 25. (To Mr. Mitzelfeld, the owner of the land to the south) You're not willing to sell or to provide this access easement? A. No, absolutely not. 26. Has there been any determination to power to this property? If it goes through, could they fix the power to my property? A. Service is available, beyond that (for more info.) you'll have to call Light and Power. 27. 1 know the average density figures about 4 homes per acre? ... Yes?... -has anyone gathered information for our neighborhood -are we talking more than our fair share? ... (of density?) Mitch... It's probably not too radically different from any other new neighborhoods. 28. This is different. This is not a new neighborhood. -also not a through street A. The city goal is mixed density. -It may not make people thrilled..... 29. It's good density and good planning that make a good neighborhood. That's our goal. 14. They're not garden level? A. No, any and all basements will be fully underground. So, a one story unit will actually be one story, not one and a half. The same for two story units. 15. 1 think it's better to have 1 % stories than 2. 16. Density— there are a few areas where they are packed in --- in our neighborhood -they look out of place -lots of complaints 17. Will they still use a "zero lot line" configuration? A. No, we did away with that. Each home will sit more or less in the center of its lot. 18.. What is the size of the lots on the west side? A. This one is approximately 56' x 103' deep ... or close to 6000 s.f. on average. 19. Will all of the homes be done by the same builder? A. Yes — I am the developer and builder, too. 20. Will the homes on lots 11-13 face West Plum? A. Yes, these four units will face West Plum and take access off W. Plum, too. 21. Will there still be a home owners' association? A. Yes, all have the same water detention; this common area makes the HOA necessary. 22. Could they all have a common garbage hauler? -would cut down on some traffic Mitch... It's up to the home owners association, but we (the City) strongly and consistently recommend consolidation of trash hauling service. 1 6. On Minatta project....... (Siena PUD) - will their's effect the pressure zone? A. No. They are in the Foothills zone. - Boundaries may some time be adjusted, but that is not scheduled at this point. 7. We were told it wouldn't effect our water and it has. 8. 1 appreciate the assurance, but the pressure is affected. What if the water pressure is affected, then what do we do? A. - complain to the Water and Wastewater Department; eventually, the pressure zone boundaries could be adjusted to include your neighborhood in the Foothills Pressure Zone. 9. Would there a way to remedy it? A. It can be adjusted. It can be done. -additional water mains would have to be built, probably as a capital project. 10. Where does the money come from? (to fund) A. City expense - Developer's pay water acquisition and plant investment fees at the time of building permit issuance. $$$ goes to a special fund for "fix up" - capital improvements. 11. What is the size of the water main? A. ... 6" water and 8" sanitary. 12. 1 just wanted to know how far it ran. A. Mitch the lines run through/in the streets. 13. Are the houses basically ranch style except the 2 story options? A. Yes, plus these are very deep lots, making for a good amount of room between these units and your homes. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES PROJECT: West Plum Street PUD DATE: May 6,1996 APPLICANT: Doug Viita CONSULTANT: Dennis Messner STAFF: Mitch Haas, Planner Why the dramatic change in plans? Why isn't Pear going straight through? A. The city doesn't want any more street access/curb cuts onto Elizabeth. 2. Was better access the reason for the changes? 3. Does the water line that would be tapped into run in Plum St.? A. Yes... 4. Will our water pressure be negatively affected? A. ROGER BUFFINGTON: Pressure zones boundaries for the Foothills Pressure Zone are to the west of this site. This is in the main pressure zone. I cannot make any guarantees, but your pressure really should not be noticeably affected. It should remain at no less than 24 psi. 5. 18 PSI for me is a good day... A. ROGER: That sounds low... - 24 PSI- summer - if at 18 PSI ... I'd investigate - summer- 35 PSI/hopefully above - in the mid 80's-pressure zone established (started as pump stations -then storage tanks) - 50 PSI difference on each side of the boundary
