The proposal is to split the existing lot into three smaller lots for single- <br />family development. The current parcel is vacant and zoned R-1A, Single Family <br />Residential. <br /> <br />Mr. Boylan reviewed the findings for Commissioners. He also submitted a petition he <br />had received signed by seven neighbors, opposed to the lot split. This will become a part <br />of the record. <br /> <br />Mr. Bill Buelow, Director of Construction, Greater Metropolitan Housing, addressed the <br />Planning Commission. He explained they are a private nonprofit developer. They build <br />about 50 new homes per year and they have been in business about 30 years. He <br />explained the intentions for the site, explaining they would build three nice homes on the <br />site and went over the preliminary design. The market value would be approximately <br />$280,000 to $300,000. <br /> <br />George Letendre, representing Ron Theory, who could not be there, spoke to <br />Commissioners. One of the points he made involved the ten-day notification process of <br />the Public Hearing, which he believes was not met. The other point raised was that all <br />the water drains to the SW in an area that already has ponding and asks for a requirement <br />that water be retained on the site to not worsen the problem. Mr. Boylan relayed that <br />these types of items are checked for in the building permit process. <br /> <br />Karen Henney, who lives directly behind Mr. Theory, addressed Commissioners. She <br />states her back yard is flooded and the water is a major concern in this area. <br />1 <br />I:\COMMISSIONS\PLANNING\Minutes\2005\03-19-05.doc <br /> <br />
