Mr. Schmid presented the preliminary plat a.nd stated that the area titled Outlot B is the designated area for parkland (see attached map). Sr. Kathleen expressed concern whether or not Outlot B is appropriate for park land. The commission felt that it is important to have a park in the proposed development. Mr. Schmid discussed that development will only be on the West one-third of the Rothfork Property, but has an option on the remaining parcel. At this point in time it is uncertain when a.nd if the remaining two-thirds of the parcel will be developed, and he doesn't feel that he can designate parkland in an area that is not currently being planned for development. For this reason, he is proposing Outlot B as parkland. The parcel is currently zoned PURD and allows for innovative development. The parcel is currently zoned Pt)RD and allows for innovative development. City Attorney, John Scherer, discussed with the planning commission the purpose of PURD zoning. The Planning Commission requested in order to consider this plat, it is necessary for Mr. Schmid to submit plans for the entire parcel of property, not just one-third of the property. Mr, Schmid should alru provide for a park area in the central area of the PURD parcel. Another area. of concern was the access +,o the property. The proposed plat only provides one ingress a.nd egress, Because of the proposed density of the plat, the commission requested that Mr. Schmid provide at least one additional ingress/egress. Ideally, the planning commission would like to see an ingress/egress to the North of the plan and another ingress/egress to the East, connecting to CSAH 133. The residents present also expressed concern with the ingress/egress and generally were opposed to the proposed plat. Ed Kacures expressed opposition to the proposed plat because of the lack of water availability. He feels that before the City issues any further building permits a new water storage facility should be constructed. John Scherer recommended that the City Engineer, Joe Bettendorf, address this issue at the next planning commission meeting. Chairman Hub Klein declared the hearing recessed at 9:30 p.m., until August 5, 1991 at 8:00 p. m. at which time Mr. Schmid will provide the following information: 1. A vicinity map at scale showing property lines, streets, and existing zoning. In addition, he wilt be required to show the relationship of the proposed PURD to the comprehensive plan of Ci+.y, to existing schools and other community facilities and services, and to the surrounding area; 2. A preliminary plan of the entire area in such detail as to show the land uses being requested, the densities being proposed whets applicable, the system of collector streets and the off- street parking system. 3. A written statement explaining in detail and with supporting documentation the specifics of the development plan as it relates to the type of dwelling units proposed and the resultant population, the extent and nature of non- residential development and the resulting traffic generated a.nd parking demands created. 4. The proposed schedule for the development of the site. 5. A statement setting forth the reasons why, in the opinion of the developer, the PURD will be in the public interest and consistent with the objectives specified for PURD's by Section 12.01 of the St, Joseph Code of Ordinances.
