lopment, which is a research /development situation. Attorney Smith stated in addi-

proposed to consist of 58 single family, zero lot line homes, and be located
within 14.3 -acre M -32 Tract of the PGA National PCD, per the petition of Urban
Design Studio, autho. agent for PGA National Venture, LTD.
Ms. Laurie Schwab, of PGA National, addressed the Commission presenting a site plan
of the proposed project. Ms. Schwab stated the Eagleton PUD has been a great suc-
cess and this project will be similar, with some improvements, including family
rooms. The streetscape, perimeter wall, entryway, architectural detail and
materials, setbacks, roadway system and pedestrian way will be the same as Eagleton.
Ms. Schwab stated the largest lot available in Eagleton will be utilized in the
subject project, which will allow for swimming pools.
• Mr. Ornstein requested information regarding the proposed location of swimming pools
and asked if a screen enclosure could be installed at a later date. Ms. Schwab
advised there would be a 5' setback from the perimeter wall; a screen enclosure
would not go to the perimeter wall and the enclosure must also be within the
building line of the neighboring unit. Mr. Ornstein pointed out that residences of
PGA National wishing to install a screen enclosure must receive approval from the
City's Zoning Board of Appeals to receive a variance to the City's 10' setback
requirement. Mr. Stapleton stated there have been problems with screen enclosure
requests and suggested setbacks be established at the time of PUD approval. Mr.
Stapleton advised that residents must apply for an amendment to the PUD or petition
the City for a variance.
