9 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 163 <br /> 164 Chris Johnston: Great, so. One quick second. So,we have the applicant here. Does the applicant have a <br /> 165 presentation or anything along those lines? <br /> 166 <br /> 167 Lauren Honeycut: They do not. So,the presentation element for this is the preliminary plot. <br /> 168 <br /> 169 Chris Johnston: Wonderful. Okay. I just wanted to verify before we jumped into questions. Statler? <br /> 170 <br /> 171 Statler Gilfillen: Just a technical question. I'm looking at the plot. You have said, approximately, 61 acres. <br /> 172 According to this, it says 61.11. Right below that, it then refers to the recorded acres as 63.99. <br /> 173 Can you explain the difference between those two? <br /> 174 <br /> 175 Lauren Honeycut: Yup. So, if you look in kind of the, like, northwest corner there, you can see it is not part of the <br /> 176 conditional district rezoning,and it is not part of this application. It's actually the existing home <br /> 177 place of the property owner that will be subdivided off should the subdivision receive approval. <br /> 178 This subdivision is through an expedited process which is just a staff-reviewed process,and it was <br /> 179 already reviewed and approved with comments by staff, but they have not recorded it yet. So,this <br /> 180 reflects the future acreage,the acreage that's proposed for the project. <br /> 181 <br /> 182 Statler Gilfillen: Thank you. <br /> 183 <br /> 184 Chris Johnston: All right. Okay. All right. So,we have no additional questions for the applicant at this time. We <br /> 185 have no additional questions for the staff at this time. Is that it? <br /> 186 <br /> 187 Venkat Yendapalli: Is this the same plat we looked at that we spoke in detail with applicant and the team last year? <br /> 188 <br /> 189 Lauren Honeycut: It's very similar,so it needs still be rough conditional district that was proposed, so a number of <br /> 190 lots, at least,the designated amount of common open space and amenities. They did rework <br /> 191 some lot shapes and ended up designating more common open space. So,there are slight <br /> 192 changes as they've gone through a more technical process, but, on the whole, it meets what you <br /> 193 reviewed last year. <br /> 194 <br /> 195 Chris Johnston: Perfect. Good question. Any follow-up questions? Just for my own personal clarity, and I'm <br /> 196 always a little hazy on this. The percentage of open common area spaces does not include the <br /> 197 buffers or any of the items that they aren't allowed to build in by, right? Is that accurate? <br /> 198 <br /> 199 Lauren Honeycut: So, primary open space includes those. <br /> 200 <br /> 201 Chris Johnston: Primary open space. <br /> 202 <br /> 203 Lauren Honeycut: Yup. So, those are areas that are protected. They're required to be designated as primary open <br /> 204 space,so when the applicant is going through the process to decide what spaces should be <br /> 205 designated as open space. Our ordinance speaks to that the first spaces chosen towards that <br /> 206 should be environmentally sensitive features like floodplain and stream buffers. <br /> 207 <br /> 208 Chris Johnston: Okay. Thank you. Okay, if we don't have any additional questions or concerns, I think at this <br /> 209 point I'm entertaining a motion. <br /> 210 <br /> 211 Charity Kirk: Is there public comment on this one? <br /> 212 <br /> 213 Chris Johnson: Oh, that's right,do we have a written comment on this item? Sir, did you just sign up for public <br /> 214 comment? No,okay, so we do not have any public comments. Thank you for the clarity. You <br /> 215 were ready to hit the button,weren't you? <br /> 216 <br /> 217 Statler Gilfillen: Do you want a motion to approve? <br />
