Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes November 21, 1996 Page 4 Mr. Hill asked Mr. Marshall to refresh his memory on this. He said there was a maximum of 25, what do they have in mind on that? Mr. Marshall said we changed our customized development standards since the ordinance was originally adopted. The 25 was a previous version that would basically be pods of the development. They could ultimately develop these same 162, they would just have to divide 25 lots and have open space, 25 lots open space in between. Again, that became a design issue that we started looking at proposed developments that really did not work. That was eliminated with this amendment. Mr. Hill said on the berming requirements, 200 feet setback from the road, being that this is flat, is there some kind of foliage or earthen berms standards there? Mr. Marshall said no, but they setback that 200 foot distance. It is only if they setback less than 200 feet, then they would have to meet that level three buffer yard, which could be berms, fencing, or vegetation. By setting back 200 feet or greater, they do not have to meet that requirement. The Chair said the staff did not make a recommendation on this. Mr. Marshall said that was primarily because it was an open question about Mike Downs interpretation about the level three buffer yard. They meet all of the standards of the zoning ordinance, so the staff recommends approval. If the Board was to disapprove this then we will need finding of facts to indicate why they, the Board, is disapproving it. There being no further discussion, the Chair MOTIONED to approve preliminary subdivision plat for Hawick Commons, seconded by Mr. Hobbs. Mr. Koch, Attorney for the Planning and Zoning Commission asked the Chair if her motion include the question about the waiver of the level three buffer yard?
