MOORESVILLE PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES THURSDAY, APRIL 22,2004 The Mooresville Plan Commission met on Thursday, Apri122, 2004, at 7:00 P.M. at Mooresville Town Hall. Commission members present were: Chairman Mike Young, Jim Bruner, Chris Crouch, Robert Corbin, John Ehrhart, Charles McGuire, Troy Bryant, and Robert Williamson. Tim Bennett was absent. Town Attorney, Tim Currens was present. A motion was made by Commissioner Ehrhart, second by Commission Crouch, to approve the minutes of March 25, 2004. Motion carried 8-0. First on the agenda was Holloway Engineering representing C & H Construction, LLC, requesting a Plan Unit Development on Bridge Street, which was continued from the March 25th meeting. Tonight they have a different proposal. The Board has approved similar projects for this property twice before, once in 1998 46-rental building, consisting of 92 rental units and in 2001 proposed a condominium project containing 98 units. The configuration was very similar to one they are now proposing, with two exceptions. Tonight they are proposing 44 building with 88 units on 44 lots and would be a condominium project. Mr. Holloway went through the attached development standards and home features. He said their units will have 6/12 pitched roofs, brick to the eave line, concrete driveways and attached garages. There will be a retention area for storm water drainage consisting of about two acres and there will be approximately one acre of water. The street names will be Amberwood Drive and Go1denwood Circle, with a cu1- de-sac and eyebrows to give the community some character. Commissioner Ehrhart asked if the sidewalks would extend out onto Bridge Street and Mr. Holloway said they would. He said the sidewalks would go all the way to the property lines. Commissioner Young asked about the green space between the driveways and Mr. Holloway said there probably would not be any, unless they built larger units. He asked how they could change the elevation to make the units look different and Mr. Holloway said with the larger units they could try to change the look with landscaping. Mr. Young stated he understood that the garages in the center separated the units and Mr. Holloway said that was right and that they have looked at some plans with the garages on the outside and different things in the center. Mr. Ehrhart asked what the eaves would be made of and Mr. Holloway said they would be aluminum for the maintenance free issues. He said the gable ends would be made from hearty plank or something similar to that, but not aluminum or vinyl. Commissioner Bryant stated that since the approval of the two other projects for this property, the Board has approved Jamestown Settlement and Lakeside Common, which are in their beginning stages. The picture he has shown is very similar to the structures out at Village Condominiums and they have not had success in selling them. He wonders how many of these can the area have before the area becomes saturated and Mr. Holloway said that was a marketing issue and that they have this divided into four phases. He feels this is an issue for the developer. Mr. Ehrhart asked at what point would they be submitting the landscaping plan and Mr. Holloway said they could submit prior to or with the final plat approval. Phase One is the predominate part of the landscaping, with the mounding and the island in the center of the entrance. The entrance has been widened out to allow for the island to be twenty feet wide,
