Mooresville Planning Commission, March 11, 2021 1. Grandview residents have consistently trespassed on their property and even hunted on their property without permission. Grandview property owners have cut down their fence, and mowed their grass. She requested that the developers erect a fence barrier. 2. Surface water drainage flows onto her property because of a natural declivity, but no natural drainage. 3. As a 46 -year resident of Mooresville who attended many meetings on the approved 2006 PUD -R she believes that quality is the primary consideration for this development In addition, Ms. Mathers pointed out that Mr. Holloway's comparative home pricing slides did not show Heartland Crossing, where homes are in a similar price range, which means less diversity in home options. She read an article from Monday January 5, 2021 in which Noblesville planners realized they did not have the diversity of housing options to attract young people and older retirees — middle income housing was missing from the long-term plan. She stated that Mooresville has spent millions of dollars to enhance the perception of this community, and lesser quality housing did not go along with the Town's efforts. Brian Turley made similar statements regarding the efforts of the Community, the Planning Commission and surrounding homeowners to reach an agreement in 2006, and believes lowering the bar is still inappropriate for the community. He provided a copy of a Protest Petition with over 130 signatures of Mooresville residents. Jim Cottongim asked if Mr. Holloway had checked with the Fire Department regarding houses six feet apart with vinyl siding. He stated that "the whole row will be caught on fire before the [Fire] Department gets there." He provided an anecdote that his grandson's shed had caught on fire and melted the vinyl siding off his house over 25 feet away. Lynn Rose stated she lived across the street from the proposed development and asked if anyone had addressed access to Hadley Road. She stated that Hadley Road looks like a garbage dump given current traffic flow. She requested information on the entrance and exit points of the development and asked that the developer consider a smaller quantity of homes. Jeff Dieterlen called for any additional questions from the Planning Commission, and then invited Mr. Holloway to respond to the questions and comments of the public. Mr. Holloway made the following points in response: • Mooresville has spent millions over the last 10 years upgrading the sanitary sewer plant. This proposed - development will be serviced by a sewer that runs through the property. This issue would have to addressed during the platting and planning phase. • Quality is in the eye of the beholder. These homes might be of a higher quality than the surrounding homes. The images shown as examples of what the homes might look like. • These are not starter homes. Per our presentation, a person with a median income could not live in this development; it would take a two -income household. This is not low-income housing. • Markets, income, and our community has changed since 2006. "This property has sat for 15 years and no one has asked us to develop it." Karrington Estates is a "vinyl village" • Water and drainage concerns will be addressed during the final plat-stormwater ordinance states that the runoff must be less after development. Current runoff is from agricultural activities; when the property is developed, runoff will be less. • Traffic and drainage will be addressed at the time of final platting. • Based on what we know now, there will be no changes in density to the plat of 2006 — numbers quoted do not take into consideration roads and retention ponds. 0
