Shodeen has revised their previous plan for The Shores of Delavan Lake Subdivision to allow more green space and offer a multi-family option allowing the total residential unit count to remain the same at 623 and increasing the variety of lot sizes. Mark Kolczaski briefly discussed his engineering review letter suggesting alternative street names be considered and the traffic impact analysis be updated to reflect the increased density of residential units due to multi-family housing near Mound Rd. Citizen comments: Donna Hopkins and Kevin Kiekhafer questioned street width and public access to the wetland areas. Don Deichsel questioned lot sizes the possibility of dividing lots to sell in the future. Fire Chief Edwards recommended providing emergency access at the end of Valencia Dr.to the subdivision and dry hydrants located in the wet detention ponds for better fire protection. Frank Jones expressed concerns that the ratio of multi-family to single family housing greatly exceeds the 15% recommendation in our Comprehensive Plan. Motion by Simons and seconded by Jones to recommend the Conditional Use Permit (conditions attached) and the rezoning of portions of R-2 Zoning to R-3 and R-5A Zoning to allow the multi-family housing. All ayes, motion carried 7-0.
7. COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS OF CITIZENS PRESENT:
