animals. Asleson stated the GIS data for this site would be useful <br />in identifying the upland and wetland elevations. <br />Asleson asked about the number of lots and how it relates to the <br />project. Mr. Fairbrother stated it would be a more appropriate to <br />ask John Hill to address whether it is economically feasible. <br />Ken Adolph, representing the applicant, explained that John Hill was <br />unable to attend the meeting tonight. He stated they feel that 64 <br />lots are needed to make this project financially feasible and if the <br />lot number were to be reduced, they may return with a request for <br />higher density, such as townhomes. <br />Trehus stated he is disappointed in this proposal and it being <br />represented as a conservation development. He stated he believes a <br />conservation development results in tradeoffs with a lower density. <br />He noted that 25 acres of upland would equal about 50 homes and he <br />would not support more than 50 homes on this site. Trehus commented <br />on the amount of impervious surface and stated he believes the <br />entire concept of conservation development is being shifted, which <br />he does not support. <br />Kukonen asked about Option A for 49 lots. Mr. Fairbrother stated <br />that is the large lot option which they proposed at an earlier <br />meeting. However, that is now off the table at this point based on <br />the comments made at the last meeting indicating a desire for <br />smaller sized lots. <br />Kukonen asked when the property will all be included in the MUSA. <br />Asleson stated he is not aware of when MUSA will be expanded. <br />Mr. Adolph stated at the last meeting, it was discussed that the <br />MUSA was arbitrarily drawn through the middle of this property. He <br />advised that Heritage Development has indicated they will develop <br />the property in two phases and request the MUSA line be redrawn, <br />possibly with tradeoffs in other areas. <br />Mr. Adolph stated the single family area uses more of the upland <br />area and the intent of the conservation development is to cluster <br />the development with smaller lots. However, in the economic <br />analysis, one larger sized lot does not equate to a smaller sized <br />cluster lot. <br />Asleson inquired regarding the price range of these homes. Mr. <br />Adolph stated $160,000 to $180,000 is the base price plus options <br />which could increase the price to $200,000. <br />IZap a_ &_PExpeanov._.BoapS_ <br />Xzn_o011zvollaKeo <br />
