Some questions asked by the Commission included, how close
to the floodway area on the west side the apartments would be; the
kind of renter will the apartments be attracting; what the total
jpopulation of the apartment complex would be when occupied; and
if there would be any subsidized family units in the complex.
There was some discussion as to what the possibility would be
for the apartments to convert of condominiums and the range (in
square footage) of the apartments.
The Commission gave Dr. Goldsteen their suggestions and recom-
mendations concerning the proposed District Regulations for the
proposed Planned Development Ordinance. There was extensive
discussion over these Regulations.
There was also some discussion on whether the proposed interior
gravel walkways may become a maintenance problem; the requirements
of the Subdivision Ordinance in relation to the proposed project;
population impact of the proposed apartments; safety for ingress -
egress at Highway 5; future adjacent zoning; natural screening of
the proposed project; the floodplain area and possible preservation
of it; and what would cause the apartment units to be converted
to condominiums.
