Comment: As the homeowner being surrounded, my concerns are access and fire protection. Also, we need access to the back part of our property in case development of that portion of the property could occur. 38. Question: Will there be a sidewalk constructed along the Rose property with this development? Answer: The City will probably require us to construct a sidewalk there. 39. Question: What mechanism is there to assure that the grove of trees and ditches will be preserved and retained as a good open space and visual buffer? Answer: That will be addressed during the development review process. 40. Question: How will the people in the area get to the neighborhood park? Answer: Down Lemay Avenue to Willox Lane, then through the Greenbriar development. This could be an opportune time for the City, the neighborhood, and the ditch company to cooperate and attempt to provide public access to the natural areas and the park. 29. Question: Aren't your covenants established and recorded before you get final approval? Answer: That is not an absolute requirement. The City is rarely involved in the development and review of private covenants. Final approvals are generally not predicated on the existence of private covenants for a development. 30. Question: What do you want to build on this property? Do you want only single family or do you want the second living unit? Answer: We want the option to provide for a second living unit on each lot. 31. Question: What is the density of Pheasant Ridge and why was it allowed? Answer: The density is just over 2 dwelling units per acre and it was allowed because of certain topographic constraints on the property and the fact that the County subdivision to the north insisted on limiting the number of homes in Pheasant Ridge because its primary access would be down their existing local street that is built to County standards. 32. Comment: We do not want duplexes or 2 living units per lot. There would be no guarantee that a property owner would not build a separate unit. 33. Comment: This is a transitional area at the perimeter of the City. Larger lots, in keeping with the more rural feel, are appropriate here. 34. Question: Is this project being looked at in the same light, same philosophy, as the south part of town? Answer: Yes, the same rules, regulations, and policies apply in all parts of the City. 35. Question: What are our appeal rights and when do we lose that right of appeal? Answer: The right to appeal expires at 5:00 p.m. on the 14th calendar day after a decision by the Planning and Zoning Board. 36. Question: How will the City receive these comments? Will they think that we don't want anything here? Answer: That question can be answered only by the reviewing agencies and Planning and Zoning Board. 21. Comment: My main concern is with potential runoff from your development into our area and homes on Bramblebush Street. 22. Question: There are lots of trees along the ditches behind our houses. How will this area be treated to provide buffer between the neighborhoods? Answer: Portions of the area will be maintained in their present form, as possible, and some different treatment may be added to enhance the area. 23. Question: Are you going to try to put those ditches underground? Answer: No, we are not. 24. Comment: Part of what I would like to see, living in the existing home on the property, is the preservation of the surface water running in the ditches, preservation of the trees, and maintain the wildlife on the property. 25. Question: Where do we have the opportunity to get involved in the process of seeing and inputting into the system (placement of houses, fencing, types of outbuildings, sheds, dog runs, retention of trees, etc.) ? We support the development but want to be assured of sufficient buffer. Answer: Tonight, at this neighborhood information meeting, is the first opportunity for you to participate directly in the development process. Staying in touch with and asking questions of the developer is a way to be involved in the process. 26. Comment: We like the large lot concept in this development. 27. Question: You are not going to try to tie your Homeowner's Association into our development, are you? Answer: No, we are not. 28. Comment: I would like to see your Homeowner's Association be established before the sale of the first lot. Response: Our intent is to get the HOA, architectural controls, and covenants established right up front. 13. Question: Are there guarantees to determine the minimum price of these homes? Answer: We are only in the conceptual stages of development to date. 14. Comment: It is important to regulate where the points of access to the two separate living units on each lot will occur. 15. Question: There are misgivings because not everybody has the means yet to look at the "picture" of this development. What will these homes look like? Is there somewhere in this process where we, the neighborhood, can get involved? Answer: Tonight, at this neighborhood information meeting, is the first opportunity for you to participate directly in the development process. 16. Question: Why are you doing a duplex concept on this development if the homes are priced such and are large enough for grandmothers, etc., to live in the home? Answer: This is a way to provide a totally separate living unit, with kitchen and bath facilities, for "extended family" members. 17. Request: Could you talk a little more about the "quality of life" and open space around this development. Response: Ed Zdenek talked more about the area on the west side of the proposed development that contains 2 irrigation ditch laterals, significant vegetation, and wetlands. 18. Question: What will be your finished elevations of these homes? Answer: We do not know yet. There will be a fair amount of fill, especially along the northerly portion, adjacent to the ditch. 19. Question: Will you do the landscaping as shown on the concept plan before you sell the lots? Answer: Yes, we will. 20. Question: Will you have to construct a sidewalk along Lemay Avenue? Answer: Yes, we will. 4. Question: What is the setback distance for the homes in this development? Answer: There will be a 150' minimum setback for the homes adjacent to an arterial street. 5. Comment: These will be large homes in a predominantly single family area. 6. Comment: Our proposal is to allow a separate living unit (attached to and within) each home. 7. Question: Could these 2nd units be rented to someone outside of the family? Answer: No, the covenants will disallow anyone other than a family member. 8. Question: Is there no way that you can get this development approved at less than 3 dwelling units per acre? Answer: We are trying to work with the City to accomplish this. 9. Question: Where will the existing home gain its access after this development is in? Answer: From one of the proposed cul-de-sacs within the development. 10. Question: There is supposed to be cooperation between the City and the County. We are in the transition area between the two entities. Is not the County's regulations more lax, in terms of density? Answer: Today the County allows 2 dwelling units per acre. That could change soon. 11. Question: What exactly are you planning on putting on these lots? What do they look like? Answer: These will probably be minimum 2,400 square foot homes and the attached living unit would add another 800 square feet. 12. Comment: There is concern about these separate living units being sold or rented to families outside of the families in the homes.
