Hardy: 11 total, but you know, they're all over the map. You know, there's 42, 43, 2 at 44, and 3 at 45. Commissioner Nagler: What Ponderosa's going to do is plot out the homes and build them and then sell them. So someone is not going to come in and say I want or don't want a bonus room? Schroeder: We plot the houses before pulling building permits and then we offer it as an option. Commissioner O'Connor: So you pre- determine who's going to have a bonus room and who is not. Schroeder: Pam and I work closely together on these projects and as she mentioned, we spent a lot of time with the neighbors when we committed to not building bonus rooms on those 5 lots so they were lower FARs on those lots I think. The real driving issue on this site was that when the property goes out to market, you try and get as much money as you can for it. So technically if you come in here and you have an amenity, you know there aren't 50 lots here, but it doesn't really lay out that well on a smaller lot project. It doesn't make a lot of sense to have a big battle and put in a lot of houses here that most people didn't want. We realize it made more sense to kind of do fewer lots and frankly, almost as few lots as possible on this site and still try to make it work and not have a property owner sell to some public builder who would try and build a 30 lot tract or 35 lot tract or whatever. What kind of drove that was being able to get enough house on the lots to make it all work financially. It has to kind of make it work and we invest millions and millions of dollars to try and make these things work. I know you guys don't care about that but that's just how all this works, and so in doing so, we try to be really thoughtful about the houses and how we design them to try and mitigate some of those concerns. So the Plan 1 is a little bit wider but it's a mastered down plan. It only has 3 bedrooms and a loft upstairs so it's got a lot of single story roof. The Plan 2 is a little bit more vertical on part of it, but really the whole half of that house is only a single story. It's a garage except on some of the lots we can put a bonus room. So we know we ended up a little bit over on some of the lots with the FAR, but in plotting it the way after we saw your concern, we looked at it and plotted it in a way that made sense because we don't like to plot the same houses next to each other or across the street if we can. We try to make it varied, and we were able to get to a 40% average FAR because some of them are down to 25% or 28% or something like that because there's a couple of larger lots there. So that's sort of what we tried to think of when this came up, but I believe, I know it says Nolan Farms is 40% but I go back to when this issue came up before and I've checked all those lots there and I believe there are houses in Nolan Farms that are over 40% FAR. There are some pretty big houses on 10,000- square -foot lots out there. 4,200, 4,300 square feet, so I'm not sure exactly and I don't have the history on that, but... there's a few lots in Nolan Farms over 40 %. There's 45 %, 45 %, 47 %, you know, there's a few, so it didn't seem like that was looked at before. Anyways, that's sort of how we got here. So with your forbearance, if you could live with an average of 40 %, we think we can make it work and I think people would like what they see. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 23, 2016 Page 18 of 46
