One of the issues is the staff request for Centex Homes to do the construction on 119th Street. Centex homes is prepared to accommodate that request but needs more information such as design, distances, and cost. Another issue is the type of product; we have designed a particular type of subdivision that allows for lots and product, which contemplates being built under your current ordinances. The petitions have been filed. Larry Peterman, Vice President with Hitchcock Design Group, presented to the Board the land plan and addressed the density. He stated the gross density is 2.99 units per acre. That is under the current Comprehensive Plan. The lot sizes are 80x131 or 84x125. Responding to Mr. Burghard's statement that the School District had called him and were unhappy with the school site because of the easement for the sewer, Mr. Kevin Stowe, from Centex Homes, stated that architect for the schools thought it was a 75-foot easement; it's a permanent 25-foot easement and a 50-foot temporary easement for the construction of the water/sewer line. Larry Peterman and their architect have talked about refining the plan so that it can be designed with minimal impact. Mr. Burghard stated he will need written verification of agreement from the Park District and the School District.
