Secretary Spencer outlined the application to the Board. Chairman Tindall
opened the public hearing.
Mr. Dick Kens and Mr. Gunner Johnson were present to represent the
application. It was stated that the concept had not significantly changed
from the original plan (AR 79-109), although minor changes, such as moving
the playhouse in order to allow sufficient room for parking and circulation
have occurred.
Board members discussed driveways, particularly on Yorktown, in relation
to future development of the proposed playhouse. It was noted that an
interim drive would be constructed. Chairman Tindall expressed concern
regarding a potential access problem. He recommended that the drive be
expanded, as the twenty-four (24') drive reflected on the site plan would
not be adequate for two (2) way access.
Mr. Kens explained that at the development of the playhouse, or the planned
residential development, the drive would be expanded.
Chairman Tindall recommended that the Yorktown drive width be widened
to a minimum of thirty (30) feet, to better accommodate on -site circulation,
in addition to being beneficial to the developer early in construction.
Secretary Sepncer recommended that a revised parking plan reflecting parking
ratio to business demands be submitted for review. Chairman Tindall
further requested that a copy of the CC&R's be submitted, particularly
in relation to joint use of parking, landscape maintenance, ingress and
egress agreements.
Further Board discussion followed. Chairman Tindall closed the public
hearing. Conditions of Approval were discussed.
