Commissioner Ehrhart also asked if the overhang should be 18 inches instead of 12 0 inches since they were talking about custom homes. Mr. Holloway answered if the Plan Commission wishes;they could change the overhang size. Commissioner Brown, Fire Inspector, was concerned about the cul-de-sacs turning radius. Mr. Holloway said they were 80 foot radius with a 50 foot radius at the throat. Commission Brown noted mailboxes, cars parked and trees cause a problem in the cul- de-sacs as far as fire equipment is concerned. Mr. Holloway said these meet current standards; the throat has a major impact on how fire trucks can maneuver. Commissioner Bryant asked about the total acres of common area. Mr. Holloway said possibly 8 '/z acres and 50 feet of buffering on Hadley Road. Commissioner Berwick stated he was still concerned about putting 400 more cars out on Hadley Road. Commissioner Young questioned the Architectural Control Committee. Mr. Holloway answered the developers have majority control until all lots are sold. Commissioner Ehrhart voiced a concern about a minimum driveway being 18 feet wide being too narrow for two cars side by side, they can't get out of car and still be on the concrete. He wants a minimum of 20 feet wide. Mr. Holloway said they could do that. Commissioner Bryant mentioned the picture of houses showed 100%masonry, so why did the developer go with 80%. Mr. Holloway said because probably most houses will be two stories. • Joe Beikman, Street Commissioner,told the commission there was going to be highway improvements starting in three to four months at Hadley Road and Highway 67 intersection. Turn lanes will be added. Commissioner Ehrhart asked why masonry was seen on the first floor, but vinyl on the second floor. Mr. Holloway said they could put in the covenants that no two homes could have the same brick treatment or roof line next to each other. Commissioner Young asked why there wasn't any homeowner from Grandview present at the meeting. No one seemed to know,but Joe Beikman did state the drainage problem for Grandview will get corrected with this development. Commissioner Brown stated they needed to be insured they could do a turn around on four of the cul-de-sacs. Mr. Holloway will look into this. From the audience: Eileen Mathers, 4917 E. Neitzel Rd, voiced concerns of density. This was the fourth meeting she had attended and she was also concerned with Mahoney Homes as far as quality vs. quantity, oversaturated track homes, vinyl peeling off, and houses constantly for sale. She stated the pond and playground equipment so close together was a safety issue. She did not like the idea of parking spaces at the playground. She is concerned about trespassers in back of property. Mr. Holloway stated that any custom home builder was allowed, not just Mahoney Homes.
