Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 10, 2022 Page 10 of 13 Moline asks who is responsible for maintained on block 11. Markel says we use maintenance companies and we manage it. Brauneis asks if he can speak to the multi -family versus townhomes. Markel says the HOA is the reasoning behind that. Once we wanted to get the detached single family out of that zone, we have an HOA that can be uniform across the block. Brauneis asks what your current understanding of net zero and multi -family. Markel says we do a decent amount of net zero for single family but when you switch to multi -family, it is different because of party walls. Party walls are harder to obtain net zero. Hoefner talks about commercial vacancies. What is your optimism of filling 40,000 sq ft of commercial space? Markel says we are planning to adhere to the phasing requirements. He has hope because of the phasing process, they will be able to get those vacancies filled. Howe asks if he can comment on affordable housing and why they are choosing the fee in lieu option. Markel says when we come forward with multi -family, some units are market value and some are affordable. It presents a major challenged to get the building financed. It is better for all the residents to have the entire building affordable. Brauneis asks what the fee in lieu cost would be. Markel says he is not sure and would have to check with staff. It is a square footage calculation. Howe asks if they can comment on the water runoff and where the water retention would be. Markel says they already have the water detention accounted for this block. Brauneis asks if he can speak to the lead buildings that Markel homes has done. Can you tell us the locations of those? Markel says we get Blue, Sage, Silver Creek, North End, all mostly single-family homes. Public Comment. - Mark Cathcart, 1763 Sweet Clover Cathcart does not want this application held up. He has concerns about the traffic. He mentions traffic from Plaza Rd to South Boulder Rd and gives reasons of how traffic could affect the city. He thinks it could be problematic selling those three lots separately. Tim Merkel, 1849 Sweet Clover Ln Merkel says 50% of the North End's master HOA budget goes to landscaping. He passes a document to the commissioners showing what their landscaping standards are and requests that the applicant adopt these standards for the tree lawn. Brian Topping, 1550 White Violet Way 12
