Council for amending "PGA National Shoppes on the Green" PUD,
with the conditions as stated in the January 6, 1988 letter from
the City Engineer as follows:
1. The 7" shellrock base should be increased to 8" within traf-
fic corridors.
2. The 12" compacted subgrade should also show a specification
of 35 p.s.i. F.B.V.
3. The western exit -only driveway serving the Great Western Bank
should be more definitely channelized, with the use of the
6" raised curbing, so as to preclude the possibility of a
vehicle attempting to enter. Also there is a need for sign -
age & striping to ensure an exit -only facility.
4. There is a need for stop signs at both exit locations.
The motion was seconded by Mr. John Toshner.

Chairman Vogel declared the Public Hearing open, and at the
petitioner's request, recessed the Public Hearing to January 24,
1989 at 7:30 P.M.
Public Hearing: Recommendation to City Council re: Creation
of "Golf Estates Villas" High Density Residential PUD, proposed to
consist of 16 townhouse units and to be located on 1.5 acres
contiguous to north of tri -plex existing on northwest corner of
Holly Drive and N. Military Trail, per application of Mr. Len
Kirschke (Public Hearing recessed from meeting of 12/27/88)
0 Mr. Bristol Ellington, City Planner, addressed the Commission
Kp
reviewing concerns expressed at the 12/27/88 meeting, and updat-
ing the Commission on the status of those issues.
Mr. Ellington advised that the number of units has not changed.
The petitioner is still seeking approval for 16 townhouses. The
concern regarding the ultimate right -of -way on Military Trail
still has not been addressed on the site plan. However, Mr.
Kirschke has submitted a sketch and description indicating that
approximately .085 acres of the subject property will be devoted
to the ultimate right -of -way, decreasing the site to 1.4 acres.
Mr. Ellington pointed out that the right -of -way will take in the
hedgerow and tree area and will encroach into the minimum driving
width.
Mr. Ellington stated the setback to the pool enclosure, southwest
• of the property, has not been addressed by the petitioner. The
petitioner has relocated ingress /egress from the center of the
site to the north end of the property and has redesigned the
building to break up the continuous roof line.
Mr. Lioce requested drainage information. Mr. Ellington stated
the City Engineer approved the preliminary drainage plans with
conditions.
Mr. Kirschke addressed the Commission stating the landscaping on
the southwest property line has been moved from the easement to
allow access by utility companies.
Mr. Kirschke stated he was advised by Mr. Ken Stapleton, former
City Administrative Planning Coordinator, that 15 units would be
allowed on the subject property, and perhaps 16 with a PUD. Mr.
• Kirschke stated he was just recently made aware of the problem
3
with the right -of -way.
• The Commission was in agreement that the project should be de-
signed to allow for the ultimate right -of -way and suggested Mr.
Kirschke consult his architect to consider redesigning the
project.
Mr. Kirschke stated he has not been notified of the County's
intention to widen Military Trail and does not feel he should
have to plan his design around something that may never happen.
The Commission was in agreement that the widening of Military
Trail is inevitable and that the Commission would be remiss in
their duty if they did not take that issue into consideration
when planning for the future of the City.
Mr. Ornstein stated the setback to the pool enclosure southwest
is of the property is noted incorrectly.
After discussion, the Commission and the applicant agreed that
the most appropriate way of proceeding with the project would be
to recess the Public Hearing. Mr. Kirschke agreed to attempt to
redesign the project.
Mr. Ornstein made a motion to recess the Public Hearing to Janu-
ary 24, 1989. The motion was seconded by Mr. John Toshner.
The motion was unanimously approved.
