do us very little good. The only <br />things the Subdivision Code deals <br />with are a few civil engineering <br />specifications that relates to the <br />streets. If we're talking about <br />parks and recreational facilities, <br />those are spelled out in the PUD <br />process in much greater detail. We <br />could replicate those in the <br />Subdivision Ordinance. I thought <br />that would be too confusing to have <br />two parallel tracks of City Code <br />that copied one another. We can <br />talk and argue about what the lower <br />levels should be in terms of not <br />putting an onerous burden on the <br />smaller developer, but 40 acres is a <br />very large piece of ground. If <br />you're talking about three or four <br />houses to the acre, which is the <br />average, you're talking about <br />waiting until you get to 120 ..... 160 <br />houses before you're going to have <br />some significant regulation over the <br />process. I would be concerned about <br />that. <br /> <br />Sisk: <br /> <br />John, as far as the PUD subdivison <br />question is concerned, in the last <br />five years, how many new <br />subdivisions have we had? <br /> <br />John Franklin, Director of Community Development, stated that they <br />are currently reviewing the one, other than re-plats. <br /> <br />Sisk: <br /> <br />As a planner, do you find more <br />specificity with a PUD than a <br />subdivision? Does that assist us in <br />making decisions? <br /> <br />Franklin: <br /> <br />The purpose of the PUD is to provide <br />qualitative as well as quantitive <br />information, to allow a negotiative <br />process between the City and the <br />developer. Whereas, the developer <br />may exchange amenities for density, <br />for instance. <br /> <br />Sisk: <br /> <br />Is it fair to say that the <br />subdivision requests don't deal with <br />qualitative aspects as much as <br />quantative aspects, density? <br /> <br /> <br />
