�• . <br /> Schoenzeit asked if there is any opportunity to include any of the neighboring property to avoid the <br /> orphaned sections. <br /> Denman stated the church is next door,with single-family residential next to that and does not connect <br /> due to the wetland. Denman stated he is not sure what property he could combine with it. <br /> Tbiesse stated what he likes about this is the fact that there is residential to the south,with no entrances or <br /> exits on Kelly. Thiesse stated it seems to be a relatively good start to a compromised transition zone for <br /> this area. <br /> Schwingler indicated he is in agreement with that. Schwingler stated the issue of density has to be taken <br /> into account along with the traffic. Schwingler stated not hitting the density goal is a good thing in a way. <br /> Schwingler asked if finding the other three acres elsewhere in the City would be difficult. <br /> Barnhart stated in his view Staff would be able to find three acres elsewhere. <br /> Thiesse asked whether the applicant would like direction on any specific items. <br /> Denman stated they would like to construct a berm with fencing along County Road 19. Denman stated <br /> they do want to create a buffer zone along County Road 19 with landscaping and a fence. <br /> Leskinen asked if Charles Cudd would be the sole builder of the property. <br /> Denman stated that is their intention currently. <br /> Barnhart stated Staff would like to see some buffering to separate the living space from County Road 19. <br /> Denman stated this is a good location for the product. Denman stated if the Planning Commission has <br /> any concerns about small homes on small lots,he would encourage them to visit some of their other sites <br /> that they have developed. Denman stated on the west side of the Medina Country Club there are two <br /> model homes that are both villas that are on 55-foot lots. These are 50-foot lots but the setbacks are the <br /> same, with 14 feet between the buildings at a minimum. <br /> Thiesse noted since this is a sketch plan,a public hearing is not required. <br /> Barnhart noted the City did receive a comment that has been distributed to the Planning Commissioners. <br /> The first concern related to the wetland and the other concern related to the wildlife areas that will be <br /> impacted. At the time of preliminary plat,there will be a public hearing. Barnhart stated he expects an <br /> application in August,with the public hearing likely occurring in September. As part of that application <br /> there will be a rezoning request. <br /> Landgraver noted these units would like�y not qualify for affordable housing. Landgraver asked whether <br /> the Planning Commission should discuss affordable housing. <br /> Barnhart indicated affordable housing is a goal of the Comprehensive Plan and that these homes would <br /> not be considered affordable homes. Barnhart stated if affordable housing is a goal of the Planning <br /> Commission,this would be the time to discuss that. <br /> Schoenzeit stated in his view whenever residents come to a meeting,they should have a chance to speak <br /> even if a public hearing is not required. <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
