Environmental Board <br />September 24, 2025 <br />Page 7 <br />Ms. Holmes encouraged transparency and communication between the builder and the <br />neighboring residence once construction starts to alleviate any fears about flooding. <br /> <br />Mr. Heuer noted that there is one minor correction; they do not plan on bringing in dirt <br />offsite to elevate the development. They plan to excavate the ponds, and that is where <br />the dirt will come from to raise the homes above the floodplain. <br /> <br />Chairman Schwartz asked Mr. Hoffman if he believes the amount of open water from <br />think there is going to be an additional need for more storm water runoff areas. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoffman said that it is challenging to know for sure until they get more modeling <br />and calculations. A lot of the answers will depend on dead and live storage, as well as <br />volume. There may be some adjusting on the size of the different ponds and the layout <br />of them to get those calculations, but generally, with the different land use and housing <br />types, tho <br /> <br />Mr. Heuer noted that the final plan may end up with more or less ponding and lots. The <br />current site plan <br />and make adjustments. <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes asked if the Environmental Board would see this development back on the <br />agenda. <br /> <br />Mr. Heuer confirmed that the Environmental Board will see this plan again, and that the <br />unofficial feedback helps The Pulte Group decide whether to spend a lot of money to <br />move forward to the next step of the preliminary PUD or not. <br /> <br />Chairman Schwartz asked Mr. Hoffman about the lighting terms for this proposed Del <br />Webb-Pulte development and if the terms all refer to the same things as previous board <br />discussions on lighting mitigation. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoffman confirmed it all falls under that concept of dark sky and light reduction. <br />This plan not only covers light pollution, but how to keep light within the development <br />and not go onto neighboring properties. <br /> <br />Ms. Nelson asked about noise mitigation and how to keep the noise from Lake Drive to a <br />minimum. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoffman said there is a lot that can be done about noise mitigation based on some <br />sound studies that have been done.
