Ravens Hollow Residential Development, Jeff Smyser 483 484 City Planner Smyser summarized the Staff report, indicated Staff recommends approval, with 485 conditions as outlined. 486 487 Mayor Bergeson indicated he believes this project meets the purpose of a PUD. He stated sometimes 488 developers think a PUD means they can throw out the rules, but the purpose is to allow Staff and 489 developers to work together and come up with something better. 490 491 Councilmember Dahl noted on page three of the Staff report, Item 2 says the lots are compatible with 492 Fox Trace. She asked if the homes would also be compatible, as there are very nice homes in Fox 493 Trace. The developer indicated he built most of the houses in Fox Trace, so yes, they will be 494 comparable. He indicated the lot prices have doubled in Raven Hollow as compared to Fox Trace, 495 and typically the lot is 20 to 25 percent of the purchase price. 496 497 i. Consider First Reading, Ordinance No. 17-03, Rezoning to Planned Unit 498 Development 499 500 Councilmember O'Donnell moved to approve the First Reading of Ordinance No. 17-03 to rezone the 501 site to Planned Unit Development.

The 505 developer indicated they have not done the plans for the detached townhomes yet. They have worked 506 out plans with a local builder to do the townhomes, and the prices will be $250,000 to $300,000. He 507 indicated they will have requirements in the covenants for minimum footprints and garage sizes, 508 anticipating it will be approximately 1400 square feet. He added the lot prices for the townhomes 509 will be about $70,000, and you can apply the same calculation as that for the single-family homes. 510 511 Mayor Bergeson commented there are a number of detached townhomes in Centerville that have been 512 quite popular. He stated the owners like not sharing a wall, but having snow removal and other 513 outside maintenance taken care of for them. 514 515 Motion carried. Councilmember O'Donnell voted yea.
