Perry Ryan,representing Ryan Engineering, reviewed the proposal. He said the revised project has increased the average lot size, and it now has a gross density of 1.2 units per acre. He noted they will ask for an early grading permit if the project receives approval tonight. Uram said the Planning Commission reviewed the project at its August 24, 1998 meeting and voted 6-0 to recommend approval, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report of August 21, 1998. He noted they are dedicating 2.7 acres of land on the south edge of the project as part of the Purgatory Creek Conservation Area. The project was not reviewed by the Parks,Recreation&Natural Resources Commission. Case asked what will happen on the western border of the project when the adjacent parcel develops. Uram said right-of-way has been extended to the property line and the property to the west could be divided off the current cul-de- sac. The utilities are stubbed. Case asked if that would make the cul-de-sac longer than 500 feet. Ryan said the cul-de-sac would not be extended because the homeowners would have access to the cul-de-sac but also to Sunnybrook Road. Referring to the Staff Report of August 21, Tyra-Lukens asked if the final sentence of the paragraph on page 3 regarding the Purgatory Creek Master Plan means there will be no grading or clearing in the conservation area. Ryan said the lot line goes into that area,but there will be no grading or clearing permitted. Tyra-Lukens then asked how that will be communicated to the homeowners. Ryan said they will use the carsonite markers to delineate the conservation area. There were no comments from the audience.
