They are providing just a little over three spaces per unit with the garage, the tandem space in the driveway and an additional parking space. They have adapted the previously approved PUD to fit the requirements of the Guidance System and it is integrated into the neighborhood. Member Strom asked about the relationship to the existing single family unit on the corner and whether some berming is necessary. Also, what will happen to that property as a lone single- family unit surrounded by moderate -low density multi -family in the long-term. Mr. Ward responded that the owners had planted a number of trees which they didn't want to disturb with berming. The part of the house facing the units is the garage. There is about 60 feet of separation so small berms would be possible. Long-term, it might be possible to convert to duplex, three-plex or use the house as a community center. It will also make sewer service possible. Member Strom asked why the street doesn't come to the property line. Mr. Ward said that the Thayers felt it was more desirable to have a long driveway and increased landscape area rather than a large cul-de-sac with an island which brought headlights close to the house. They intend to deed over the area between the current single-family and the area for the cul-de-sac to the Thayers. Member Strom noted that he didn't see any plant materials between the house and the cul-de-sac. He suggested that they consult the Thayers and include the material in the final plan. Member Clements -Cooney asked if parking is allowed on the cul-de-sac and all along Westbridge Drive. Mr. Olt said that he understood that parking will not be allowed, it will be signed and painted in some way. Mr. Ward confirmed that no parking would be allowed from the south entrance into the Bridges around the cul-de-sac. Member Fontane made a motion to approve the Summerhill PUD Preliminary. Mr. Strom suggested a friendly amendment that the landscaping be addressed for the single family dwelling in the cul-de-sac and seconded the motion. The motion passed 6-0. Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes August 30, 1993 Page 2 Member Fontane was concerned about the use of lead shot and possible toxicity being used toward the water. Mr. Moreng responded that they would follow all federal regulations regarding the use of lead shot over water. Waterfowl cannot be hunted with lead shot and they are not proposing to shoot any clay shot over water. Steel shot would be used if any shooting were done over water. Member Clements -Cooney asked about how they monitor the use. Mr. Moreng said they depend on the honor system since hunters may or may not be guided. Member Fontane asked about the difference in price between lead and steel shot. Mr. Moreng responded that a box of 20 of steel shot would run several dollars over the lead. He noted that the sporting clay course is not set up at this time to shoot over water and that he personally does not want to throw clay targets into the water and would shoot targets away from the water. Member Fontane asked if waterfowl would be likely to eat the shot. Mr. Moreng said it would be very unlikely. Member Fontane asked if the shot could be reclaimed. Mr. Moreng said that it is reclaimed at trap ranges with constant shooting but he does not intend to shoot at that intensity. The shooting range is set up in an old gravel pit that is 400 yards away from any water. Member Clements -Cooney moved approval for Rocky Ridge Sporting and Conservation Club Special Review and Rezoning. Member Strom seconded the motion. The motion to approve passed 6-0.
