Review and recommendation of a conceptual master plan for Parcel 5A/Approval of a new median break along Pooler Parkway.  Ryan Thompson of Thomas & Hutton Engineering Company gave a brief summary of the proposed project.  Parcel 5A lies within the South Godley PUD and is located in the southwestern corner of the Pooler Parkway/Godley Station Boulevard south intersection.  The project site is 42.43 acres.  The current plan includes a commercial subdivision of fourteen lots with one access point on Pooler Parkway and six access points on Godley Station Boulevard south.  The developer is also requesting approval of a new median break along the Pooler Parkway.  The new median break would align with the entrance to this project and the southern entrance to the Pooler Park of Commerce.  The board expressed their concerns about the layout of the commercial subdivision and the proposed new median break.  Larry Olliff asked if a traffic study had been done.  Wilson Roberts recommends that the road design be reworked for better access.  Following some discussion regarding the engineer’s comments, the board recommends their concerns be forwarded to the Mayor and Council.

Review and recommendation of a conceptual master plan for “The Retreat” at Forest Lakes at Godley Station.   Jeff Carper of HGB&D presented the proposed project to the board for their review and recommendation.  The project consists of 103 single-family townhome units within the gated community of Forest Lakes – a part of the Godley Station PUD.  Tract # l contains approximately 15.15 acres with 82 units and is located on the northside of Forest Lakes Drive. Tract # 2 contains approximately 5.85 acres with 21 units and is located on the southside of Forest Lakes Drive.  Bill Dempsey has reviewed the project for compliance with the Godley Station PUD Master Plan Development Standards.  Following some discussion, Wilson Roberts made a motion to recommend approval of the conceptual master plan for “The Retreat” at Forest Lakes.  Motion was seconded by Larry Olliff 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 Mary Louise Lanier.
