PUD REVIEW BOARD MEETING

The PUD REVIEW BOARD COMMITTEE held a called meeting on Monday, July 25. 2005 at 5:30 p.m. at Pooler City Hall.  Members present were:  Charles Archer, Carl King, Jim McQueeney, Elinor Minshew, Mary Louise Lanier, Wilson Roberts, Don Taylor, John Henry, Greg Long, Councilman Larry Olliff, Councilwoman Rebecca Benton, Councilman Michael Royal, Councilman Bruce Allen and Zoning Administrator Jackie Carver.  Visitors present were Steve Wohlfeil and Jeff Carper of HGB&D, Clay Loyless of Kern & Coleman, Craig Zuck and Ryan Thompson of Thomas & Hutton Engineering Company.            

Portrait Homes is seeking Final PUD Approval for Harmony Townes located within the Jabot PUD.   Dana Coble of Portrait Homes presented this request to the PUD Review Board for their review and recommendation.  The proposed development consists of 203 single family townhome units on Tract B of the Jabot PUD.  The project meets the current PUD requirements for setbacks, minimum building width and units per building per amendment # 4 that was recently approved by City Council.  Ten different floor plans are proposed with square footages ranging from 1200 to 1600.  Harmony Townes will have its own Homeowners Association (HOA) with its own Architectural Review Committee.  While residents will share all amenities contained within the overall development, a separate pool and pool house, for the exclusive use of the homeowners of Harmony Townes, will also be built during the first phase of construction.

The access to this development will be from Pooler Parkway and Quacco Road.  The road from Pooler Parkway is only two lanes and the board expressed concerns about the traffic potential at the build out of all the developments along the spine road.  Ms. Coble stated Thomas & Hutton designed this road as part of the Jabot PUD Master Plan and should be adequate for this development.  There was some discussion about future widening and additional right-of-way of the spine road.  With no other comments, a motion was made by John Henry to recommend Final PUD approval for Harmony Townes located within the Jabot PUD.  Motion was seconded by Rebecca Benton and passed without opposition. 

There being no further business to come before the PUD Review Board, a motion of adjournment was made by Charles Archer and seconded by Don Taylor.
