and gutters, and he felt that Martin Avenue should not be widened or be a thru street. He stated there are existing houses in the area with less than 2,500 sq. ft., space. He felt that all houses should face onto Martin Avenue to be consistent with existing homes. He added that he did not like the proposed plan and felt that further review should be given to the matter to come up with a more desirable development. Mr. Herb Singleton, 2207 Martin Avenue, stated he is basically in agreement with the plan with the changes as presented tonight. He asked if the houses would be custome-bui!t homes and what assurance is there that the minimum size would be 2,500 sq. ft. He stated there is no need for c~mbs and gutters, and that this improvement would distu32b the wildlife in the area. He stated he is in favor of blocking off Martin Avenue; that development to the north should provide its own ingress and egress. Mrs. Kathy Selway, 2313 Martin Avenue, requested that the rural setting of the area be preserved, stating she would prefer lot sizes of 1-5 acres. She strongly opposed the installation of curbs and gutters, would prefer to see a better street pattern, expressed concern regarding the lots being too small, and stated it should be a mandate that all homes face the street on Martin Avenue. Mr. Jim Fazzari, 3710 Trenery Drive, stated he is not opposed to the applicants developing their property, but the original application included the entire area of seven parcels, and he felt it should remain as such to make it a working plan. He stated he had concerns regarding street flow, is opposed to curbs and gutters, did not want Martin Avenue widened, and felt the original intent of the PUD guidelines should be adhered to. Mr. Bob Cooper, 3711 Trenery Drive, stated he is concerned about development, in the spirit of Ordinance No. 1065, stating that all seven property owners should be included in order to create an outstanding subdivision that is not done piecemeal. Mr. Cooper presented a letter from Mr. John W. Montgomery, 3800 Trenery Drive, dated February 24, 1984, requesting Council to include all seven property owners and that such application present a better street pattern as well as lot sizes that comply with earlier guidelines. Mr. Bill Selway, 2313 Martin Avenue, stated that Planning Commission did not approve the application because it was not what they had expected; and he felt the same way, adding that all seven property owners should be included or otherwise it would create patchwork development. He stated this should be a controlled area, that there are too many "ifs" in this situation, and he felt the plan should not be approved. Mr. Mike Cooper rebutted the concerns of the residents, stating that the property owners would not oppose the closing of Martin Avenue, and are agreeable to the minimum 2,500 sq. ft. size of homes as a condition of approval. He stated that the homes are to be custom-built homes but it is possible that one builder may build more than one home in the area. He stated the plan presented by Mr. Wiemken is a workable plan as it is basically the same lot configuration. He stated that in conclusion the five property owners feel they want as much flexibility as possible in preparing the land plan and would like approva3 at this time as more restrictions may be added later on. He stated the proposed plan does meet the guidelines of Ordinance No. 1065, and he urged approval. There being no further testimony, Mayor Butler declared the public hearing closed on the application and the negative declaration. 6. 2/28/84
