1.   Fred Williams' request for preliminary construction review of the Villages Commercia1/Professional Subdivision and landscape plans. Mr. Williams is also requesting final plat approval of this subdivision by posting a bond that is 150% of the cost of the infrastructure and improvements. Michael Hussey of Freeman & Vaughn Engineering, Inc. presented this request along with Fred Williams. Debbie Ryan-Watts abstained from discussion and voting on this item. Chairman Taylor stated some lot dimensions were missing on the plat. HGB&D have approved the preliminary construction plans but stated it should be noted that the developer has acknowledged his understanding that the 16" line to supply water to these project is not yet in place and agrees that he will make no claim on the City as a result of this. The board members were disappointed in the number and increased size of the commercial lots, which would create a greater impact on the area. Mr. Williams explained his intent all along was to create a village with residential architectural designs to serve his proposed subdivisions. Mr. Hussey had met with Mr. Tim Inglis on the landscape plans for this project. He stated Mr. Inglis agreed all the projects met the greenspace requirements but did have questions on Timberland Gap. After some discussion, a motion was made by Gay Tucciarone to approve the preliminary construction plan, landscape plan and final plat approval with bond acceptance for the Villages Commercial Professional Subdivision. Motion was seconded by Fleta Pepper and passed with Mark Revenew opposing.

Debbie Ryan Watts abstained from discussion and voting on this item. Michael Hussey from Freeman & Vaughn presented these projects for review and discussion. Chairman Taylor commended Mr. Williams on his efforts to save more trees along the rear of the subdivisions. To create more usable openspace in the Timberland Gap Subdivision, Mr. Williams agreed to provide access to some wetlands across the canal for a pedestrian trail. All subdivision requirements have been met. A motion was made by Joe Harmon to approve the preliminary construction plans and landscape plans for the Villages, I. II, III and Timberland Gap with the stipulation that the 16" water line to these projects is not in place and developer will make no claim on the City as a result of this.
