• roadways will be constructed to Mooresville standards, fifty feet wide and request they be public roads.

Commissioner McGuire reminded commission members the zoning ordinance called for a 40 ft. setback in the front and a 40 ft. setback in the back. Commissioner Williamson commented they had found in the past developers who put upper scale homes such as 2400 sq. ft next to a 1300 square foot home. People don't want their$350,000 home next to a$100,000 home. Chairman Young asked where the cut into Grandview was located. Commissioner Berwick asked if this was where the issue of stormwater with Grandview and where the people's garages are getting flooded. Steve Brehof said they would construct a swale along the back side of the project next to Grandview to direct the runoff to a retention area. Commission Ehrhart said he did not think they should deviate from the setbacks. Commission Ehrhart said the concern of the commission is that there are many upscale homes in the area that are now up for sale and they are not being sold. He was concerned about the impact this would have on our schools. Mr. Jeff Quyle, 6441 E. Cold Bluff Ct., Morgan Co. Commissioner, was concerned about the traffic on Hadley Road. The county has just voted to start planning a thoroughfare for the county with emphasis on Brown, Harrison, Clay, Madison and Monroe townships. Hadley Road will probably name be as a main thoroughfare, which has a right-of-way above our current requirements for a county road. He would like the commissioner to be sure that the right dialog is in place so the developers for the county will be able to purchase the right-of-way for future road construction. He would want the board to be sure that the boundaries are contiguous for annexation to be connected to the sewer system and the impact that this will have on the school system. Brian Turley, 13342 N. Allison Drive, Camby, IN, stated his concern was density when Arbor Homes came before the board. These homes are more upscale,but there is still the issue of density. Mike Young, Commission President, said they need to go back and look at the density of the project and there are too many starter homes that they did not want. They need to give us a definition how much plank siding verses masonry that is on the homes. Commissioner Ehrhart said they need to address the intersection onto Hadley Road as far as ingress and egress are concerned. He feels they should stay with the forty(40) foot setback. Tom Wynn, Mohney Homes, said that looking at the homes the lots are small and they would welcome any suggestions on the density, as long as the lots are less than an acre. They can make the project look like the Forrest Commons in Avon. Commission President, Mike Young, said the PUD is supposed to of higher density and the amenities the developer gives back to the community. He only sees common areas • that are all water and he feels there should be more parks and play areas for the children. 2
