411 8/18/81 Page -3- Mayor Caramel. opened the public hearing and John Rupp, Director of Community Development showed a map and slides of the area. The size of the area is approxi- mately 80 acres, located on South Boulder Road, north of the mobile home park, west of Via Appia. The zoning request was for 22 acres - Agricultural 27 acres - RL - Residential low density 31 acres - RM - Residential medium density The site shows to have some major physical constraints for development, i.e. severe grade in the area, low lying drainage areas, ditches, utility easements and power lines dividing the property. To the north and east of the property, the zoning is low residential - to the west a portion is undeveloped zoned RL - Vic Caracni's pre- liminary development is adjacent - and the north half is zoned agricultural and deeded to the city for open space. The zoning requests are compatible with our comprehensive plan and water and sewer utilities are available. Mr. Dennis Drumm of Associated Land Con- sultants, representing the Hocheders had worked closely with staff and had presented a copy of his letter to each council member. Among pertinent points of the annexation agreement were - the zoning pattern being compatible with the adjacent area - the open space and school site is approriately placed - acess is suitable to the site - the PUD assures further City review for improve- ment location i.e. buildings, access , landscaping and screening, open space, density, and general character of the development. Total number of units - 390; overall density 4.8 dwelling units per acre. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the annexation and zoning. Councilmen Meier and DelPizzo expressed their concern regarding the density - since some of the land was undevelopable. Director Rupp advised when the PUD plan is presented Council would have another opportunity to review this.
