Mr. Lasko requested the applicants present their proposal and a11ow Planning Commission and residents to voice their concerns. He further advised that the proposal would be tabled until October 12, 2004 meeting. Planning Director Wenger reviewed that Planning Commission previously approved the applicants request to rezone their property from light industrial to single family cluster contingent upon development approval. Planning Commission then forwarded the rezoning to the Board of Zoning & Development Committee for comment. The Architectural Review Board tabled the proposal at their July meeting. Between the months of July and September applicants met with city staff and architects to work on the design elements of the development and significant progress was made. She reported that although the Architectural Review Board approved the plans they discussed the following issues: • Mailbox lighting to be removed to front yards of units to prevent vandalism • Permit planting around mailboxes • Trees for screening be 6-8 ft in height and 10 ft on center to guarantee effective screening She stated that the applicant submitted a traffic study, including trip generation figures and a level-of-service analysis. Their findings are that the development will not significantly impact existing levels of service at the Barton/Bradley intersection. A traffic signal analysis did not indicate that a signal is warranted at this location. The current plans show two locations for connections for a possible future development. Although it is not planned that this land become part of the development. The access points leave the option open for future connectivity. She
