• • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MEETING APRIL 13, 1994 Additional comments included the following: - Would like 10 acre parcel zoning returned to the area. - Holly Drive extended to Centerville Road - An evergreen buffer installed between her parcel and the development on the north and east sides. - No variances for anything less than R -1X lots. - No road abutting her property on the north side. Mr. Al DeMotts of 6265 Holly Drive had the following questions in response to the request: - Where does the water run -off go. - What happens to the land on the west side of Holly. Who will pay the taxes or will it become tax - forfeit property - Where was the land surveyed from. - P & Z members in other communities tell me you should get business development before homes. We are way ahead in homes. - Will the run -off go into the wetlands. - Can the City send out a survey to find out what the people think of more development. - The groundwater will go under Holly Drive. - There was no add in the Circulating Pines for this request (Staff checked this item and proper notification was made 10 days prior to the meeting as required by the Zoning Ordinance). - Who will pay for the schools. -How big are the lots. Tom Mesich asked Mr. DeMotts if he was aware of the change from Rural to R -1. Mr. DeMotts stated that he had not received any notice. He was also unaware of the Comprehensive Plan Amendments. John Dahl of Holly Court stated that he owns approximately 11 1/2 acres south of this proposed development and has lived there since 1990. He would like to see a buffer between his property and the development and asked if there was some such provision in the Ordinance. Planning Consultant Brixius explained that the lots proposed to abut his are very deep. He questioned the surface drainage and run -off. Mr. Weigert, the developers engineer, explained that according to City Code, they must demonstrate that the surface water run -off from the development will be no greater after development than it was prior to development. The actual flow off the site will not be increased. Mr. Mesich asked if he had checked with City Hall before purchasing the property. Mr. Dahl indicated that his wife had come up to City Hall and was told that the area was Zoned Rural. Mark Payette, 6266 Holly Drive, was present and stated that he had moved into the area in 1985 because it was Zoned Rural.
