II <br /> gi <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval of the <br /> proposed amendment. <br /> Best asked why write it in such a way if it is <br /> not expected to happen. Collins responded just <br /> to make it clear with regard to what the intent <br /> of the watershed protection is . <br /> Best continued asking how it affected impervious <br /> surfaces . Collins responded that if the density <br /> bonus is increased by 25% in University Lake <br /> Watershed we would be departing from the <br /> recommended standard of -CDM of one unit per five <br /> acres . The more units allowed, the more <br /> difficult it will be to comply with a 4% <br /> impervious surface ratio. Best continued that he <br /> felt such an exclusionary clause was unnecessary. <br /> Eidenier expressed concern that there was no <br /> public direction from the public hearing. She <br /> continued that if the Transition Area is where <br /> the low cost housing seems to be going, she felt <br /> it would not be ill-planned to state that is <br /> where it should be. <br /> MOTION: Yuhasz moved approval as recommended by the <br /> Planning Staff . Seconded by Eddleman. <br /> VOTE: 6 in favor. <br /> 2 opposed (Best & Waddell - both felt that the <br /> amendment was unnecessary since the density <br /> bonuses would only occur in Transition Areas ) . <br /> (3 ) Article 8 . 2 . 1 -- Special Uses <br /> Presentation by Marvin Collins . <br /> (A copy of the abstract and complete information <br /> is an attachment to these minutes on pages . ) <br /> MOTION: Best moved approval as recommended by the <br /> Planning Staff .
