Planning Commission October 26, 2017 Page 4 Commissioner Arcand stated that the most recent projects in Hugo have been able to use stormwater to irrigate the entire development, which has been made up of many different types of products. Mr. Hempel said they would evaluate using stormwater reuse in the entire development. Commissioner McRoberts asked Mr. Hempel if there was anything more that he would like to receive comments on. Mr. Hempel stated he would like to add that the 65 ft. wide lots are becoming more of the “norm” compared to the 80-85 ft. wide lots because the value of property is too great to make the numbers work for people purchasing the homes. Commissioner Luchsinger stated that having a variety of lot sizes and product types is attractive for the City because it will offer more options and price points for smaller families and empty nesters. Commissioner Arcand asked Mr. Hempel if he knew the price points for the homes that were to be offered in the development. Mr. Hempel stated that he did not know that information at this time. Commissioner Luchsinger stated that along with the sidewalks and trails, previously discussed with the developer, it would be nice to have a loop through the northern portion of the park. Commissioner McRoberts stated that he would like to make sure the developer has a clear proposal of what they will be asking for flexibility on and what they will be giving back to the City in return for this flexibility when the project returns in the future. Appointment of Planning Commissioner to the Ordinance Review Committee Juba stated that the Ordinance Review Committee is a subcommittee of the Planning Commission and City Council. She stated that the subcommittee reviews ordinance updates or new ordinances as new laws/statutes come about and then make a recommendation to the Planning Commission prior to the public hearing for ordinance changes. Commissioner Luchsinger stated she would volunteer to be on the Ordinance Review Committee. Commissioner McRoberts made a motion, Commissioner Arcand seconded, to approve appointment of Commissioner Luchsinger to the Ordinance Review Committee.
