south to the north part of the property. This allows the stepping down of units providing a view <br /> of the lake on the south and west and a view of the Country Club on the west. <br /> Mr. Cochran stated that 15 single family dwellings could be constructed on this property with 15 <br /> separate driveways. The project as submitted is a Planned Unit Development and must be <br /> developed in accordance with the submitted plan. There are several notes on the site plan to <br /> control development, one of which is for subdued lighting. <br /> Mr. Cochran stated that the development will cost between eight and one half and ten million <br /> dollars. Each floor is its own condominium and the 2,200 to 2,800 square foot units are keyed <br /> for entry. There would be elevators. The infrastructure is in place and the sanitary sewer can be <br /> extended. Mr. Cochran stated that staff and the Fire Department have reviewed the plan. Traffic <br /> would flow from the south to the north and there would be a gated entrance. It is estimated that <br /> the development would generate 123 to 125 vehicles per day. A single family development is <br /> estimated to generate more traffic and there would be separate driveways. <br /> Mr. Cochran and Tony Romano met with the Country Club Board to review the plans, as well as <br /> with the area residents. The Country Club is not endorsing the plan and is not objecting to the <br /> plan. Concerns expressed by the residents included views, traffic and the change from single <br /> family. The type of development was explained to the residents. Each unit would sell for <br /> $350,000 to $450,000. Mr. Cochran stated that the development offers a type of living not <br /> presently available in this community. <br /> There were objectors present: <br /> Mr. Jack McDonald, 98 North Country Club Road, was present and spoke against the petition. <br /> Mr. McDonald stated that a vacant lot is located between his property and the subject property. <br /> He bought his home 20 years ago and was told that the large tract of property was zoned for <br /> single family only. He has invested heavily in his home since that time. Mr.McDonald stated <br /> that his lot is 1.75 acres and the proposed development would put 21 units on 3.5 acres which <br /> would be completely out of character with the surrounding area. He requested that the number of <br /> units be drastically reduced. <br /> Mr. Herb Rozell, 90 Clubview Place, was present and spoke against the petition. Mr.Rozell <br /> stated that he objects for the same reasons that Mr.McDonald did. Mr. Rozell built his home 25 <br /> years ago. He stated that the density of the proposed development is too high. He expressed <br /> concern with the amount of concrete and stated that the elevation is high on the south end would <br /> will cause a lot of surface water to run off. Mr.Rozell stated that the retention pond could <br /> become stagnant and attract mosquitos and the pond could be a hazard for area children. <br /> Mrs. Phyllis Hunt, who lives directly south of the subject property, was present and spoke <br /> against the petition. Mrs. Hunt stated that her view would be obstructed and the units would be <br /> too close to her property line. She stated that the hill on 44th Street is dangerous, especially in <br /> the winter. <br /> Mrs. Emmy Williams, 385 Robinson,was present and spoke against the petition. Mrs. Williams <br /> stated that she lives on the other side of Country Club Road and has 3.5 acres. She and her <br /> husband gave an easement on their property for water when Forest Acres was constructed. The <br />
