The real problem with it was, as you start to get fencing in the backyards, with the existing fencing the replanting of shrubs for the buffer areas, they were creating, a possible tunnel down there and especially if you get kids in it after dark. It was not as safe as getting the kids in front of the houses. PUBLIC INPUT None. Member Walker stated he was satisfied with the testimony as stated by the applicant. Because of the nature of these kinds of units, you have to have these common maintenance agreements. It seemed like a reasonable project. Member Walker moved for approval of Glenmoor PUD, Preliminary and Final with conditions as stated by Staff. Member Carroll seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0. SILVER OAKS PUD. PRELIMINARY - #14-88F Ted Shepard, Senior Planner gave the Staff report recommending approval. Rick Armistead, representing Tri-Trend, Inc., stated they recently completed Rossborough Subdivision. They felt that Silver Oaks Overall Development Plan and Subdivision had come together nicely. They spent alot of time trying to meet City criteria and the needs of the surrounding neighborhood. They have had two neighborhood meetings concerning the Silver Oaks and they have ongoing talks with the affected neighbors to the north in a County subdivision. They were trying to make that transition as smooth as possible from the existing larger lots to their City lots. They have had with talks with the principal of Olander Elementary School on some of the needs of the affected school children and if they would overload the elementary school system, and the principal has assured the parents that he would be able to absorb the children. Tri-Trend feels they had been through the process and they are trying to address all the needs. Dick Rutherford, Stewart Engineering, stated he would like to point out after the first item on tonight's agenda, solar orientation, they have 72.6% which exceeds the minimum required and one of the reasons this has happened was that they have an east west street that would also be developed and the fact that it was how the sewer and water got to Olander School from Taft Hill. When they went to develop this plan they had to pretty much use that as the street intersection but they were still able to come up with 72.6%. Member Carroll asked if this project just laid out or did they have to work to achieve the solar orientation on this project or was this the way the street system would have been laid out had we had not solar orientation. Mr. Rutherford replied they had to do some working at it. The first plan they had did not come Planning & Zoning Board Meeting October 5, 1992 Page 20 up to the 65%. Mr. Rutherford went on to say that they had lots of meetings regarding the school. Most of the discussion at neighborhood meetings was not regarding the plan so much as it was regarding the school use. After they were able to come with an ODP that was acceptable to the Staff and your Board, they were able to fit those things in very well. PUBLIC INPUT None. Member Carroll moved for approval of Silver Oaks P.U.D., Preliminary and with the comment that he was very pleased that there were 144 lots, 72.6% did meet the solar orientation. He thought the Ordinance could work. Member Cottier seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0. OTHER BUSINESS None. The meeting was adjourned at 9:35 p.m.
