1.   Public hearing on proposed amendment to the PUD Ordinance. Steve Wohlfeil, of Hussey, Gay, Bell & DeYoung, Inc. presented this request for Savannah Quarters, LLP to change the PUD Ordinance so that when a developer constructs an 18-hole golf course (minimum par 70) the density shall be determined by gross acreage as opposed to net acreage and shall include for purposes of calculation of density, wetlands, open spaces. buffers for the entire PUD. Councilman Poteet discussed adding some language in this proposed amendment regarding minimum acreage and minimum linear playing length. Fleta Pepper expressed concern about the trade off of wetlands if a developer is planning an 18-hole golf course. She further stated including wetlands would increase the density substantially. Bill Lovett of Hussey, Gay & Bell, DeYoung, Inc. explained this change would give a property owner incentive to do a much nicer development. A motion was made by Joe Harmon to recommend approval of this zoning text amendment contingent upon adding minimum acreage or minimum linear playing length. Motion was seconded by Debbie Ryan - Watts and passed without opposition.

 

The board discussed changing the PUD Ordinance regarding density requirements. The proposed net density of the entire PUD District would be changed to be based on the entire Residential PUD Districts and not the entire PUD District. Councilman Poteet will discuss this change with the Mayor and Council at a later date.

 

The workshop scheduled after the meeting to discuss the tree ordinance was postponed until after the next Planning and Zoning meeting.

 

There being no further business to come before the board. a motion of adjournment was made by Joe Harmon and seconded by Fleta Pepper. Motion passed.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

    Jackie Carver

Zoning Administrator
