Ralui inquired whether the Planning Commission could give it preliminary approval without those items. <br />Oaffron stated since this application will appear before the Planning Commission once final plans arc <br />submitted, the Planning Commission could make a recommendation to the Council. GafTron indicated <br />the Planning Commission could give general concept approval to the plan. <br />Winkey inquired whether the concept of purchasing office space has been done elsewhere. Winkcy <br />inquired whether these units would be purchased by someone and then subleased out. <br />Mr. Carlson stated to their knowledge this is a new concept and is not being done elsewhere. Carlson <br />indicated tlie opportunity to own the ofRce townhome and land is a great selling point. <br />Winkey noted based on the footprint, Uicse buildings are being marketed to small businesses. <br />Mr. Carlson stated they are also marketing investors who might be interested in purchasing the building <br />and then sublease them out. <br />Winkey inquired whether the applicants are proposing to clear the entire site prior to knowing whether the <br />buildings will be sold. <br />Mr. Carlson stated it is their intent to have a couple of the buildings sold prior to clearing the site. <br />Mrs. Carlson pointed out the site needs to be cleared in order to construct the road and install the utilities. <br />Mr. Carlson commented they are not worried about selling the buildings. <br />Gaffron noted all vegetation on this site would be removed due to the grading ol'thc site except for the <br />northeast comer. <br />Winkey stated the total clearing of the site is one of his concerns, noting that tlie vegetation on die site at <br />die present time does provide some shelter to the residential area located to the back of diis site. Winkey <br />indicated he has a concern with this development using the name of Sugarwoods and the likelihood of <br />people confusing the entry off of Brown Road and going into the residential neighborhood rather than the <br />office development. Winkey noted Sugarwoods does not have much traffic currently and tliat there is a <br />large number of young children who reside in the neighborhood. Winkey inquired whether die <br />developers would be willing to consider renaming this development. <br />I <br />. >
