The
PUD REVIEW BOARD COMMITTEE held a called meeting on Monday, July 23, 2001 at
5:30 p.m. at Pooler City Hall. Members
present were: Debbie Ryan Watts,
Fleta Pepper, Wilson Roberts, Holly Young, Judson Trapnell, Craig Brewer, Larry
Olliff, Tim Lovezzola, Councilwoman Billie Tyler, City Planner Tim Inglis and
Zoning Administrator Jackie Carver.
The
Villages at Godley Station, Tracts 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 Conceptual Master Plans.
Jack Wardlaw, Steve Hall of Godley Station Development Group, Inc. and
Terry Coleman of Kern-Coleman Company presented the conceptual master plans to
the PUD Review Board for their input and comments. The northern Tract consists
of tracts 2, 3 and 4 and the Western Tract consists of tracts 5 and 6, which are
the tract numbers from the original PUD submittal.
Mr. Jack Wardlaw presented the design criteria for the Western Tract and
the Northern Tract of the Godley Station. He
described The Western Tract as an upscale-gated community with 362 lots,
lagoons, lots of greenspace and a large amenity center. Homes within the Western
Tract will begin at $250,000. The
Northern Tract will contain 508 lots with an overall density of 2.5 lots per
acre. The lot sizes will vary from 6500 sq. ft. to 8800 sq ft.
Mr. Wardlaw explained that they are trying to create a neo-traditional
architectural concept very similar to the Westbury development in Bluffton,
South Carolina. Holly Young expressed her concern regarding off-street parking
problems with 65’ width lots. Wilson
Roberts also had a problem with 65’width lots, but was more concerned with the
proposed duplexes within the development. Mr.
Wardlaw stated that a significant amount of greenspace is being designed within
the development and that lots could be made larger resulting in less greenspace
behind the lots. With the concern
about duplexes, Mr. Wardlaw stated that the developers would consider changing
the acres set aside for duplexes to 70’ width single-family lots. The Branigar Group requested that the road system be adjusted
so the major road access is into the Northern Tract and a minor road leads to
the entrance of the Western Tract gated community. The majority of the board
members were pleased with the conceptual master plans but the following comments
were noted for the developers consideration: parking problems, minimum lot coverage with 65’ width lots
and clarification from The Branigar Group regarding duplexes within the PUD
master plan.
There
being no further business to come before the PUD Review Board, a motion was made
to adjourn.
