CROWLEY SURVEY. (PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH, EAST AND SOUTH OF ELEVATED WATER TANK.) Chairman Pippin stated that this meeting is not a Public Hearing as such where opponents and proponents will be heard, but to reconsider the change of zoning and any questions those in the audience may have will be answered. Walter Elliott was recognized and stated that he was representing Dr. Richard J. Thomes. He stated that he under- stood that the changes were to take out the cul-de-sac on North Main Street which has been done, and secondly to reduce the overall density to around 16 units per acre, which has also been done. Mr. Elliott stated that Phase I will consist of 237 units including the five houses. Construction will begin in about 90 - 120 days after approval from the City Council and after the loan is approved. Mr. Perkins asked Mr. Elliott about the density being reduced to around 16. Mr. Elliott stated that it was 16. If you carried out the decimal , it would be 16 point something. Chairman Pippin asked how many units were being deleted. Mr. Elliott stated that it was a total of 40 units. Mr. Fuller asked what lots would be done first. Mr. Elliott stated that it would be lots 1 to 5. (Page Three, Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning Commission, April 15, 1975) Mr. Denham of 102 Walnut Way stated that he thought that the conclusion of the last meeting was to be 16 units exactly, no 16 point something. They will not accept anything but 16 exactly. Mr. Elliott stated that in running the numbers, it was 16.003 including the homes. Chairman Pippin stated that it was close enough to 16. Mr. Elliott outlined the total acreage involved. Mr. Bill Pierce of 108 Shelmar asked if the reduction of density would amount to 4 units. Chairman Pippin stated that it was 40 units. The Architect stated that it would occur in Phase II . Chairman Pippin stated that the total acreage including Tract 3, the density came out to 15.81181 . George Guynes asked when the 90 - 120 days would be scheduled on Phase I . Chairman Pippin stated that it would be subject to the loan and plat being approved. George Guynes asked about Phase II. Chairman Pippin stated that according to the minutes of the last meeting, it was 18 to 24 months. Mr. Denham asked if part of Phase II would include the remaining five lots. Mr. Elliott stated yes. After some discussion about the lots, it was clarified that the 10 lots will be developed and five houses will be built by Dr. Thomes in Phase I . In Phase II there will be houses built, but not necessarily by Dr. Thomes. Some of the audience felt that there should be some committment for the last five houses. Mr. Fuller asked what the price of the lots would be. Mr. Elliott guessed at about $9,000 to $10,000. (Page Four, Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning Commission, April 15, 1975) Mr. Tyson asked what the development cost would be. Mr. Elliott stated $50 a front foot. Mr. Ron Hughes of 207 Walnut Way asked if the masonry wall was still in the plans. The Architect stated yes it was and would be 6 feet tall . Mr. Dick Wells asked if it would be masonry. Mr. Elliott stated it would be something permanent, concrete or masonry. Mr. Ron Hughes asked how far the wall would go. Mr. Elliott stated all the way. Mr. Jack Bullard stated that the screening wall will end 25 feet from the front property line. Mr. Boyd of 108 Walnut Way asked why they would not develop the last five lots first. Mr. Elliott stated because of the way Dr. Thomes has to release the land. Mr. Tom Bender of 104 Shelmar asked how they were going to get a home on Lot 5, with an Arco easement in the middle of the lot, and also Lot 6. Mr. Elliott stated that Lots 5, 6, and 7 have an Arco easement in the middle of them. It is true that a home,could not be put on an easement. The houses could be built behind the easement with a large front yard. He stated Lot 5 would be entered from the alley. Mr. Ed Hertberg asked if it was feasible if some of the density reduction be in Phase I in case Phase II could not be developed. Mr. Hal Ferguson of 101 Walnut Way asked if the houses on Lots 1 and 4 would face the cul -de-sac and the backs face North Main. Chairman Pippin stated that he couldn't say how they would be built. Mr. Ferguson stated that there was some land added in this plat that was not in the original plat. ti (Page Five, Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning Commission, April 15, 1975) Chairman Pippin figured the density including Tract 3 which came out to 15.998 density and figured it excluding Tract 3 which came out to 16.59 density.
