BACKGROUND: At its December 19, 2019, meeting the Planning Commission considered and held a public hearing on the request. Staff recommended approval of the request, subject to revisions outlined in the resolution. The applicant stated they will revise the plans to meet the conditions in the resolution, however, they wanted to discuss staff s recommendation to include a neighborhood gather space central to the development. They did not want to include a gathering space in that location. There was no one that spoke during the public hearing besides the applicant. The Planning Commission generally liked the layout of the development. One Commissioner stated they thought the lots were too small for two-story single family homes. The Planning Commission discussed the neighborhood gathering space and generally agreed that it would be a good amenity to the development. The Planning Commission, with a vote of 5-1, made a recommendation to approve the PUD and preliminary plat, subject to the conditions listed in the resolution, and a revision that a neighborhood gathering space be located in the area south of the lift station (central to the development), with at least one lot being removed for its placement.
