_ Chris Beratlis, applicant, 351-C St. Mary Street, distributed an update on the neighborhood petition in favor of the project, including a map that indicated where each signer of the petition lived. He added that he had received positive feedback from the residents. He noted that people enjoyed the sheep but realized that they would have to go eventually. He planned to decrease the number of sheep, depending on what the Commission decided. He detailed the history of the PUD and noted that it was originally meant to be a 20-unit straight-zoned project. He noted that 15 neighborhood meetings as well as several public hearings before the City had been held. He noted that he has spoken with as many neighbors as possible. He indicated his agreement to the revised conditions of approval in the June 9, 2004 memo. Erica Beratlis, 366 Christina Court, supported the plan brought forth by her father-in-law and believed that it would be beneficial to the neighborhood. Christopher Beratlis, 366 Christina Court, noted that he hoped to build a house on the property and supported the application. Peter MacDonald, 400 Main Street, Ste. 210, spoke in support of this item. He noted that this PUD had been approved for a long time and added that the neighbors knew about it as they moved into the neighborhood. He noted that the advantage of a longer-term PUD was that it provided certainty for the applicant and the surrounding neighborhood. Becky Dennis, 838 Gray Fox Circle, noted that she was a neighbor of the applicant and detailed the background of the application. She noted that the neighbors generally believed that the plans were favorable and was pleased that the fees from the development would pay for a new community pazk planned for the area beyond Gray Fox Court. She noted that Shadowcliffs Regional Recreational Area was within walking distance of the neighborhood and added that there would be a trail neaz Vineyazd Avenue. Brian Pullen, 889 Montevino Drive, noted that he had spoken with Mr. Beratlis about his concerns and added that he had submitted a letter addressing his concerns about traffic on Montevino Drive. He was not opposed to this project but expressed concern about the time frame for completion. He noted that once the space has been graded, it will look more like open vacant lots. He would like a time constraint for the construction so that construction traffic would not be present in the neighborhood for an unrestricted amount of time. Darrel Alexander, 849 Montevino Drive, project engineer, noted that the original plan to haul soil at the project was for a balanced site. Through negotiations with the neighbors on Foxbrough Place, it was decided that lowering the lots was more acceptable despite creating excess dirt to be hauled away. He indicated that the lots would be hydroseeded after grading. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 9, 2004 Page 9 of 19
