in attendance . There being none, he.asked.Board Members if they
had.any.questions or comments.regarding,this proposal,. Board
Member Walt Griffin commented on the following;
1., The development.has only one access to Sunnyview Lane and
has narrow 241 wide streets within.the development.
He felt -that.the proposed width,did not.provide
for safety and/or overflow parking ,
2.:. No access_ was be i ng provided .to adjacent. , l ands
3. No park private or dedicated was being provided.
He felt recreation areas should be provided either
public or private,
4, That the No, 5 Business Residential Zoning being..requested
was too permissive,
He. felt that the resident-i:a].area could be.zoned No. 2 .
Resid.ence.District and the commercial area sh.ouid be
zoned No. 5 Business Residence District,..
Charles Hash stated that. recommending to the. City, CouncIl
'that the commercial.area should contain uses..that.would
service only this..neighborhood and not draw from.;other
areas, doesn't do a thing,_ No one followsthr.ough to.
require -this when the.property is annexed.,to.the'.City,
William Lupton stated that we should plan for medical care
facilities -within that general, area since it appears that
it is becoming a regional -health care facility. He
further stated, that if.the total area of the proposed
development is proposed for commercial, that he did not
feel that the design of the development was adequate;
that problems would exist with setbacks and that lot lines
should be redesigned.
Tim Grattan asked if he could respond to some of the comments that
had been made by planning board members. Mr. Grattan stated that
no access was provided to adjacent lands because he did not want
through traffic coming from other -areas coming into his development
since his development had been planned and conceived and planned
as a unit. Regarding recreation development, he indicated to the
Board that he had talked to.other developers of similar types of
projects in different parts of the country and that they had
indicated to him that developed intensive recreation areas within
a project like h is had created problems because they tended to
draw people to specific areas of the development. He also felt
that the streets had been designed adequately to handle the
traffic that was anticipated within .the development. He further
stated that he was applying for No. 5 Business Residence District
zoning because he wanted the flexibility that that zoning district
provided so that in the future, that if apartments did not seem
feasible, he would be able to go to commercial office space or
something of that nature.
The Board Members discussed at great .length the proposed zoning
and alternative zones., adequacy of 241 wide streets, and
the proposed development design.
