Johnson proceeded <br />to introduce his team. <br />Paul Norquist, non-resident, briefly reiterated the requested modifications to the <br />subdivision and the design. He noted that the density would be concentrated in the center <br />of the site. He added that the City Forrester evaluated the site, and did not recommend <br />preserving any of the existing trees. <br />Jesse Truman, TSC Capital Partners, resident, discussed the fee -in -lieu of affordable <br />housing units. He said that it was not feasible for the development to build the affordable <br />housing units due to the cost, so the fee -in -lieu was their only option. He also noted that <br />the property was designed for solar to be an option, with the townhome roofs pitched and <br />south facing to accommodate this. He added that the homes would all be electrified, and <br />would not have any gas connections. <br />Johnson said that they were not asking for a zoning density waiver. He said that they <br />had met with the neighbors on all sides. He noted that the American Legion had <br />expressed concerns about the proximity of the buildings to neighboring businesses, but <br />Johnson suggested that there would be a sufficient buffer. He noted that the <br />development would not be a cul-de-sac, but instead a U-shaped road. He also noted that <br />easement requirements are larger than other areas on the Front Range because it was <br />not possible to have the utilities share trenches. Finally, he added that a unique aspect of <br />this property compared to the Clementine development was that each unit had its own <br />private yard. <br />Brauneis asked for a motion to continue, and asked applicant to come back with a brief <br />summary and to answer questions from the Planning Commission at the next meeting. <br />Moline moves and Howe second.
