Action Requested: |
Applicant is requesting final site plan approval. |
Sally Hodges reviewed the report of McKenna Associates dated August 9, 2006,
when the application was originally to come before the Commission for final site
plan approval. She also indicated the applicant had met with the Township
administration and a representative of the neighboring property owners with
regard to installation of the screening between the project and homes to the
east and south.
The report from Dietrich Bailey Associates was reviewed by Stephanie Harbour and
the Fire Department report was received.
Donald Treder and Donald Treder II addressed the Commission; answered questions;
presented building materials, floor plans, and building elevations, and
presented the revised landscape plan.
Chairman Cebulski honored the request of residents from the area who wished to
speak, though a public hearing was not being held.
Pete Kirsh, an adjacent property owner, presented three issues of concern:
1. Request for a temporary fence for protection during road construction,
based on Article 26.101(c).
2. Request to follow Article 26.11, Item 3, which says the entire buffer
will be installed prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy.
3. Once all changes are made, they want to make sure all the storm
water is handled.
Sally Hodges responded that the evergreen trees should be spaced closer together
to create more area to handle the storm water; that in the case of a development
with more than one building, the Township Building Official requires all common
area landscaping that will not be affected by building construction to be
installed prior to issuing a C of O; and that a temporary fence had been
discussed with the applicant but no agreement reached.
Linda Alvarado, a resident of the area for 31 years, complimented and thanked
the Commission for their actions on behalf of the community that resulted in
national recognition as a place where it is very desirable to live.
Dan Callahan, whose property abuts most of the development, expressed concerns
as to what a 3-6 year completion schedule would do to the value of his property,
and asked what would assure that the required site improvements would be
installed. The Commission responded that the Building Department requires a bond
to ensure completion.
Moved by Commissioner Davis, supported by Commissioner Barberena, to grant final
site plan approval to Application 1904/1105, DJT Development, Inc., for North
Pointe Condominiums, subject to the conditions listed in the McKenna report, the
Fire Chief’s report, and the report of Dietrich Bailey Associates; and that the
plan is approved with phased landscaping consistent with the way the builder
described it tonight and that phasing must be delineated on the landscape plan.
Ayes all.
