are located in the flood plain. The heliport in his backyard is approved by the FAA and has <br />height restrictions which must be followed and aslced if the architect had contacted the FAA. He <br />Uelieved that the developer could construct more than one home on the site without zoning <br />changes. Mr. Laslco pointed out that the plan dated June 6, 2008 by engineering showed and <br />noted the 40 foot future sanitary sewer easement along the south. Mr. Crabs questioned the east <br />buffer setbaclc required by code, which Ms. Wenger said was 20 feet. Mr. Collins said units 22 <br />through 29 will require a 10 foot easement for a 12 inch storm sewer system for rear yard <br />drainage and will be a private system up to the homeowners association to maintain and can be <br />landscaped. He noted that although the system was private the city has a right to the easement <br />area if needed. <br />Various residents raised issues and concerns related to the rezoning and the negative impact that <br />would have on the historic district, the impact of additional traffic, the conflict with the location <br />of the private drive related to adjacent neighbors, adequacy of landscape buffering of adjacent <br />properties, accessibility by emergency vehicles, the authority of the developer to represent the <br />landowners, the capacity of the stormwater retention basin, the capacity of the sanitary sewer, <br />and possible overflow from the sanitary sewer. Residents reviewed that a cluster proposal for <br />this property was denied in 1997 and the reasons for the denial which were density and <br />protecting neighboring residents. <br />Mr. Lasko advised that the driveway was repositioned to be in line with the cemetery. The <br />commission will require a letter from land owner stating the developer's authority. Mr. <br />O'Malley said if the property was rezoned but the developer did not build, any new developer <br />would have to submit plans to the City for review as any other development. He advised that <br />what was being proposed was not spot zoning; cluster district is a form of residential zoning. <br />Mr. Martindale requested the Commission provide a written statement outlining how the <br />rezoning of the site was in the best interest of the community. Mr. Champa requested a copy of <br />the UI study he was told would be conducted. Mr. Collins said a phase two of the sanitary sewer <br />plan is a study being conducted by CT Consultants which has 6 taslcs to the study and involves <br />UI. The city has hired ATS Engineering who is loolcing into redesigning the waste water <br />treatment plant and between the two consultants the study is being conducted. Once the report is <br />completed it will be made available to the public, which may be by November or December. A <br />sanitary sewer study is not required of any development. Emergency access is acceptable. <br />Mr. Laslco said the Commission appreciated all the comments which have been brought forth. <br />The Commission is charged to compile a report in accordance to Chapter 1136 of the Zoning <br />Code. Regardless of what decisions were made in 1997, the Commission must review the <br />proposal in accordance with the current code. The Landmarlcs Commission met and worlced <br />with the applicant over several months and issued Certificates of Appropriateness for the <br />proposal. The commission has been provided a rough draft report for their review and comments <br />and the Cominission will hold a worlc session to workout the final wording of the report prior to <br />their June 25 meeting. The draft report is available to the public. After the worlc session the <br />report will be voted on during the regularly scheduled meeting the same night. He discussed the <br />various conditions which would be part of any approval such as condo documents, easements, <br />etc. <br />3
