A: Well, just across the street, on the Warren Lake dam, people are buying those homes for $500,000. So, we think our prices are reasonable. Q: Who will maintain these homes and the grounds? A: There will be a Homeowners' Association and restrictive private covenants ... the sale price of these homes will likely make renting of these properties prohibitive. In other words, they'll be too expensive to rent. However, even if someone were to rent out one of these units, the rules of the Homeowners' Association and the restrictive covenants would still apply. Q: Will the Bockman's home be taken out? A: Yes. There will also be berming along the west and north property lines. Q: How about berming along the south property line? A: There's really not enough room for berms in that area. However, we did say we'd see what we can do to increase these setbacks and to improve that area. At this point, the discussion turned toward the Harbor Walk development across the street, and the meeting was adjourned. Q: Will the homes along the golf course (east property line) all be two -stories? Because this where our views are. A: Any units labeled as "F" or "G" would have a two-story option. We anticipate the two-story units would be those along the golf course - - - yes, but not necessarily all of them. Q: Will there be any school crossings provided? A: Ticonderoga will provide the crossing for this project. We're marketing these homes toward "empty -nesters," so there really shouldn't be many children, if any at all, living here anyway. Q: What are the drainage patterns for this site like? And what do you plan to do totwith them? A: The site currently drains from the northwest toward the southeast. We will have on - site detention designed to the capacity of the 100-year storm with release not exceeding the two-year historic rate. Fill is necessary to make the streets work and to provide for proper drainage of the site. Q: Won't fill exacerbate the existing drainage problems? A: No, the fill will facilitate drainage to the detention area where the detained water will be released at no greater than the two-year historic rate, thus, the detention will alleviate some of the current problems. Q: How close to the drainage easement can you build? And what kind of setbacks from the existing homes will result? A: We can build up to the fifteen foot (15') easement. So, with this fifteen feet plus the three foot drainage way, the resulting setback from your rear property lines would be eighteen (18') feet. Landscaping in this area will include trees of at least three (3") in caliper (diameter at breast height - - - dbh). Q: The three units along the south property line, setback 18' from our property lines, are too close to allow for privacy and adequate buffering. A: We will heavily landscape this area with good sized trees (as noted above), and we will see what we can do to increase these setbacks. We'll work on it. Q: Will the tree nursery remain? A: Yes. PROJECT: The Greens at Collindale P.U.D. MEETING DATE: February 15, 1996 APPLICANT: Architectural Horizons - - - Bob Sutter STAFF: Mitch Haas, Project Planner Q: Will there be any landscapingibuffering along the south property line to mitigate impacts on the existing neighbors in the Golden Meadows subdivision? Uniform fencing, perhaps? A: We'll consider buffering needs in our design of the project. Uniform fencing is something we've been considering, but the type has not yet been decided on. Q: Can you restrict the development to ranch homes only/exclusively? A: We're conducting a forum/market analysis so that we can provide whatever the market demands - - - we expect that the development will likely end up being almost all ranch homes, but we have to allow for the possibility of split-levels - - - but we anticipate few, if any, two-story homes. We do not want to confine ourselves to ranch homes only if people will want split levels. Q: Will our views of the foothills be obstructed? A: We don't think that two-story homes would obstruct your views of the foothills; the houses on the lake (Warren Lake) are at least ten feet (10') higher than this site. We could conduct a view analysis to verify this though. Q: Will any grading of the site be necessary? A: On average, we will have to raise the site by approximately three feet (3'); most of the grading will occur along the Lemay frontage. Q: Why not restrict yourself to ranches only? Can half of a duplex be ranch style and the other half be split-level? That is, if someone wants a split-level does that mean the other half of that duplex will automatically be built to two -stories, resulting in a large two-story structure? A: There's no reason why one side can't be built as a ranch while the other side is built as a split-level ... as long as the aesthetics can be worked out.
