He stated while no one was really opposed, the concerns seemed to be drainage and emergency access. One comment was also if there was a better way of doing this other than a PUD/ SUP. City Attorney Holland stated this PUD/ SUP should be taken into serious consideration by Planning and Zoning. Lisa Walker, 421 Forest Pines Court addressed the Commission. Mrs. Walker stated the drainage is being recalculated since a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) has been approved by FEM.A. Mrs. Walker also asked the Commission to consider since a PUD/ SUP requires the development to be built as approved; does she need to take into account if she ever wants a pool on the prope11y? Staff stated the PUD/ SUP ordinance should be written so as to only allow one home on each lot. Commissioner Bertrand stated he would vote in favor of the zone change, but did not know if the PUD/ SUP would require a new approval if the site changed from what is approved. City Attorney Holland stated the PUD/ SUP could be approved to allow accessory structures in the future by labeling the area around the home as reserved for a pool or other accessmy structures normally used in SFR's. Amended Motion: Weesner-to approve allowing only one home on each lot and 20-foot building setback from the edge of the current ingress/egress.
