• • • PLANNING & ZONING MEETING August 9, 1989 R -1 to a PUD there has to be a 4/5 vote, and they were unable to get that from council. Since then Mr. Miller has visited with neighbors, and spoke with residents that were against this project, along with the park board chairman. They reached a compromise. Mr. Held presented the board with a revised site plan. This plan has changed in the following ways: 1. The dwellings have been reduced from 70 units down to 54 units. 2. There is larger green areas on the west side of the project. 3. Creation of a trail system that would start at Willow Ponds, cross Sunnygate on the north leading to Second Avenue. From there the trail would be extended west to Sunrise Park through Parkview Estates, and then travel to the north from Sunrise would be facilitated by placing a cul -de -sac at the south end of Sunrise Drive. 4. Setbacks have been increased on Elm Street. Residents living to the south of the project will just see green area, people from the Lakeview side will see the project from more of a distance with the 100 foot setback. While John Miller was in negotiations with the developer provisions were made for a sound Homeowner's Association with provision for dues payment in the event of mortgage default, and also a "no- rentals" agreement. Sally Kuether thinks the ponding area is a good thing, and feels this is a good use of the land. She doesn't think however, that it is possible to enforce a "no- rentals" clause in the Homeowner's Association. Alan Irwin asked about landscaping. He stated that he likes the concept, is a good use of the land, and added that he feels it could accommodate even more units. Robert King likes it even better now with less units. Alan Irwin stated that If the setbacks are met on Elm Street, then he is in favor of the project. All members were in favor of the townhome project, the next step is for the plan to be reviewed by council.
