PIIBLIC HEARING ON A REQIIEST FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF A PLANNED IINIT DEVELOPMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY 24 TOWNHOMES ON THE APPROXIMATELY 3 1/2 ACRES NORTH OF CITY HALL IN THE STRATFORD AREA BY ROTTLtJND HOMES . Chair Barry called the public hearing on the request for preliminary approval of a planned unit development for 24 townhomes in the Stratford Area by Rottlund Homes for 4 four-unit buildings and one eight-unit building. (see attachment A) Presentations were made by three Rottlund Home representatives who submitted their preliminary plans of the proposed development including landscaping. A scaled down model of one of the townhomes was also presented. It was brought to the commissions' attention that there was a time deadline for preliminary approval from the city and that was June 1, 1992. Questions were asked by some of the commission members regarding the width of the proposed road, energy standards, size of retaining walls and placement of air conditioning units. There were no questions/comments from the public. City planner, John Uban, also addressed the commission relative to the proposal with recommended modifications to the building placement, roads and landscaping. (see attachments B,C) Commissioner Finegan suggested that they re-name the development as the suggested name "Maple Knolls" would be confusing with the already named "Maple Knoll Street". Nestingen made a motion that planning commission pass on to city council a conceptual approval of the planned unit development project subject to the planner and engineer's recommendations. Huso seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously with the exception of Leonard Boche who abstained from the voting. Chair Barry closed the Public Hearing at 8:30 P.M. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:32 P.M. r ~
