• • Planning & Zoning Board March 14, 2001 Page 7 Chair Schaps asked if they could address all of the concerns in the staff report. Applicant responded he was confident they could meet those requirements. Applicant stated the homes would be single - family homes. Mr. Lyden expressed concern that this would be a better development if it were R -1X. Applicant stated he did not know what R-1X was. Mr. Powell explained what the R -1X development consisted of. Mr. Lyden strongly encouraged applicant to look at an R -1X development. Marilyn Anderson, 8840 Birch Street, stated she was two lots north of the proposed subdivision. She stated her concern was for the placement of the sewer and water utilities. She did not have a concern regarding the subdivision. She stated the north/south stretch of Birch Street would not receive sewer and water and there were residents that wanted it. She stated they could not get enough signatures for a petition for the sewer and water utilities. She stated her concern was that this would forever leave them without sewer and water. She stated they would like to have service. She asked the Board take into consideration a route that would include them and that would give them access to those utilities, and a reduced assessment cost. Mr. Lyden made a MOTION to continue the public hearing to allow time for additional information as outlined in the planning report, and was supported by Ms. Lane. Motion carried 5 -0. C. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING, Ryan Companies US, Inc. (Target), Lake Drive, CONTINUE TO 4/11/01. Staff stated at the February 13th meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board continued the public hearing related to the proposal by Ryan Companies for a mixed commercial site located north of Lake Drive, adjacent to I -35W. Staff recommended that the hearing be continued until April 11, 2001. Mr. Wessel presented a status of the project since the last meeting. He stated the site plan was changing and therefore, so was the schedule. He stated the problem was that the market did not support the building of the large three pads. He stated the development team had presented the three pads to the market, but could not get any interest in it. Therefore, one option would be to downsize the project to eliminate the three large pads. The other option would be the replacement of the pads and go with a development that was similar as to what they were originally looking at. He stated they could not respond until they receive something official. He indicated they did not expect a proposal until just before the May 2001 Planning & Zoning meeting. He stated more likely they would be breaking ground in the fall rather than in the summer, if this project received approved.
