The first action was taken by Chairman Pendleton, that being to ask the Commission if there was a motion to remove from the table the above item. MOTION: A motion was made by Commissioner Wolfe and seconded by Commissioner Koch to remove from the table the above request. The Commission voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed in favor of the motion. The motion carried. Gary Kraus, with Graham and Associates, came before the Commission with revised plans for the 183 acre tract and addressed the issue of open space. Using the revised plan, Mr. Kraus showed the Commission where the two proposed open space areas would be located. As they were presented, there would be two 115 acre open space areas in the duplex area. Mr. Kraus explained that, if these two open space areas were to be maintained by a Homeowner's Association, there were two objectives they were trying to achieve. The first of these being to make the open space areas accessible to the people who would be maintaining and using them. Secondly, to discourage people from out- side the immediate area from using them. With this in mind, Mr. Kraus noted that the open space areas were kept away from main streets and that some of the duplexes would have front access. Mr. Kraus further explained that of the 115 duplex lots in the area, 11 would have front entrances. The Commissioners discussed with Mr. Kraus access to the open space, amount of open space shown on the proposed plan as opposed to what is required by the -37- PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION February 25, 1982 Page 3 Zoning Ordinance, use of a Homeowner's Association to maintain open space versus the city maintaining the facilities, and intended use of open space by the entire city as opposed to adjacent property owners. There was considerable discussion and review on the need for 10 acres of open space and the use of same as small parks or one large park. The Commission recommended that Mr. Kraus leave the two 1' acre parks in the duplex area and place one 7 acre park within the single family home area. Commissioner Wolfe stated that, in his opinion, new Use Regulations (to be included in the Ordinance) needed to be submitted to the Commission. Mr. Kraus agreed. The Commission expressed a concern over the mini- mum number of square feet in single family houses versus the size of the lots. There was some discussion concern- ing this matter. MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Wolfe and second by Commissioner Chumbley, the Commis- sion voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed to table the action on this request until the next regular meeting on March 11, 1982. The motion carried. Public Hearing - On Revised Request for Zoning Amendment Change from LR to GB, with Specific Use Permit for Machine Shop Use, at 203 E. Main and 101 N.
