Assistant Director of Community Assets & Development/Planning Director Gundlach stated City Code would apply to this development, which means on-street parking is restricted to 30 minutes between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. She reported the parking along Old Highway 8 was not necessary for the developer to meet the City’s parking requirements. Commissioner Deick was surprised that the townhome buildings were only setback ten feet from the sidewalk. He believed that was out of scale with the City’s setback requirements. Paul Heuer, Pulte Homes representative, discussed the scale of the buildings in conjunction with the design guidelines for the New Brighton Exchange. He reported that the City was trying to create an urban feel along Old Highway 8, which led Pulte Homes to place the tall buildings close to the sidewalks. Commissioner Nichols-Matkaiti questioned if the townhome units would be able to be personalized or if each unit would be built exactly the same. Mr. Heuer was pleased to report that the townhome units could be customized to meet the needs of the clientele. Chairperson Howard requested further information on the proposed walking trails. Mr. Heuer reviewed the location of the proposed walking trails in detail with the Commission. It was noted the trail would lead residents to the City and regional parks.
