The location of the proposed PUD is off of Clingan Trails Blvd., to be named “The Village at Clingan Trails”. Mr. Anderson has submitted all of the Final Development Plan application and paperwork with drawings to the Zoning Office as per the requirements for request. The Zoning Office has forwarded all of this information to the Board Members.

Bill Gardner asked if there were any questions from the Board Members.
Gene McCullough stated he is glad to see the revised presentation, which includes the loss of two units, and asked if the community center is still in the plans. Anderson stated yes.
Paul Sherman asked where the community center is located. Anderson replied the first building #28.
Bill Gardner asked Bob Monus if he had any input. Bob Monus stated based on some of the concerns that the residents had, Mr. Anderson modified the plans to provide for more buffering against the residential areas. Monus stated Anderson has made every request that the Board has asked. Monus stated the revised layout is better than the original one.
Bill Gardner asked Anderson if he had any other comments. Ron Anderson stated they also plan to add a row of pine trees between units 24 and 25 along the 25’ setback.
Gene McCullough discussed the issue of having a central collection bin for trash or totes. He stated he does not like the central collection area and would like to see individual totes for the individual property owners. Anderson stated he liked the idea of the totes. Gene also asked about off street parking as each unit has two parking spaces. Anderson stated each unit will have two spaces and there is a turnaround at the end of the driveways that provides enough room.
Frank Prusak stated he would like to see the extra dirt used for elevation for privacy, possibly a natural fence or a mound.
Bill Gardner asked if there were any comments from the public.
