Mr. John Geary of 1045 Brittain Lane said he was concerned about the addition to Brittain Downs.  He said a dam on his property abuts the Brittain Downs subdivision, and he is concerned about it being compromised.  He also said that when it rains heavily, the area floods.  Mayor Alexander said that this could be addressed when the item of new business comes up on the agenda.

6.  NEW BUSINESS

A. Bent Creek PUD Master Concept Plan Amendment to Allow Active Adult Residential Housing
Eric McNeely represented the applicant, CK Development. Chairman Owens moved to approve the Bent Creek PUD Master Concept Plan Amendment, which would allow it to be considered by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.  Commissioner Robert Haines seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

B. Advanced Safety and Industrial Supply Site Plan, Revised
Adam Seger of Dale & Associates represented the applicant.  Henry Laird reported that the applicant had revised the site plan and increased the amount of flood storage.  The applicant met the recommendations from the Design Review Committee and asked to be able to submit a Master Signage Plan at a later date.

Mr. Seger explained the changes to the building design to accommodate the Storm Water Appeals Board recommendations, and that there would not be any uncompensated fill.  The floodplain will be accounted for with a compensatory cut.  Henry Laird mentioned that the plans had been approved by Tom Allen, with Neel-Shaffer.

Commissioner Haines asked about the required parking spaces.  Mr. Seger explained that parking is tight, but that there is a designated parallel parking spot near the building in addition to the 22 spaces in the parking lot.

Chairman Owens made a motion to approve the site plan for Advanced Safety and Industrial Supply Site Plan, Revised.  Commissioner Felts seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

C. Brittain Downs Addition Sketch Plan
Henry Laird explained that the original sketch plan was submitted for approval in 2007.  The applicant has resubmitted the sketch plan, since the original approval was only valid for one year.  Applicant has agreed to staff recommendations made in 2007.

Joe Epps, of Anderson, Delk and Epps represented the applicant.  Mayor Alexander asked Mr. Epps to address Mr. Geary’s question about the pond and dam on his property.  Mr. Epps explained that Mr. Geary’s property abuts the Brittain Downs subdivision property, not the property in question for the addition.

Town Attorney Bob Notestine and Town Engineer Don Swartz clarified that the concerns for the drainage and dam on Mr. Geary’s property should be addressed by Town Staff, since the property under consideration by the Planning Commission is a separate project.

Mayor Alexander asked whether there were any drainage concerns with the Brittain Downs Addition parcel.  Mr. Epps confirmed that there are no such concerns with this parcel.

Chairman Owens made a motion to approve the Brittain Downs Addition Sketch Plan.  Commissioner Haines seconded, which passed unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARING ON BENT CREEK PUD MASTER CONCEPT PLAN AMENDMENT TO ALLOW ACTIVE ADULT RESIDENTIAL HOUSING

The public hearing was called to order at 6:00 p.m. by Chairman Rick Owens.

Mr. Bill Kottas of CK Development and Mr. Jack Luddington of Goodall Homes represented the project.  Mr. Kottas showed a map of the area in question and gave a presentation on the history of the parcel, originally designated as “commercial overlay” on the Bent Creek PUD master concept plan and the reasons for wanting to amend the concept plan to develop the parcel as residential housing.  Kottas indicated that, in the past eight years, he has not been able to generate interest in this parcel as commercial simply due to the volume of traffic on Sam Donald Rd.

He detailed the reasons CK Development had begun to investigate using the parcel for other types of development that would not compete with Bent Creek builders, including what was described as “pent up demand” for active adult housing.  The style, features and benefits of this type of residential area were described and images of active adult residential areas in other subdivisions were presented.

CITIZEN COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS

Chairman Owens opened the hearing to citizen comments and questions.

Jana Zbinden of 6041 Christmas Drive in Bent Creek asked if there would be a limit on the age of a buyer in this area, who would enforce it and whether children would be allowed to live in this section.  Mr. Kottas responded that builders are not allowed to discriminate against buyers, and Homeowner’s Associations do maintain the area and enforce covenants.  He further mentioned that the floor plan of these homes does not lend to a family with children.

Commissioner Jimmy Reaves interjected that he lives in Bent Creek and is on the Board of Directors with the Homeowner’s Association in the subdivision.  He said that he will not recuse himself from the discussion because the Planning Commission would not be voting during the public hearing.

Julie Beals of 328 Dobson Branch Trail in Bent Creek asked for an explanation of the Bypass shown on the map.  Mr. Kottas explained that the Bypass has been proposed to protect the Historic District in Nolensville in the future widening of Nolensville Road.  Mayor Alexander mentioned that the Bypass is a State of Tennessee project planned in the future, perhaps in 10 – 15 years.  Don Swartz, Town Engineer, explained that what is shown on the map within the PowerPoint presentation is a very general idea of what the Bypass may look like, which is part of a state project to widen Nolensville Road.  This widening will initially take place from Old Hickory Boulevard to Burkitt Road to a five-lane cross-section in the next few years.  At some point, Nolensville Road would need to be widened through the Historic District.  If that happened, several historic buildings would have to be removed to accommodate the expansion of the road.  To avoid demolishing historic buildings, the state plans to build a Historic District Bypass.  Swartz explained there is no set alignment for the bypass.  If the current plan is followed, five homes on Dobson Branch would have to be purchased and removed.  Realistically, this project is 10 – 20 years away.

Lynn Hollaway, a resident at 3304 Redmond Hill pointed out that if the proposed Historic Area bypass is placed in the area as shown on the map in the PowerPoint, then the parcel in question for the Active Adult community would indeed be better used for commercial or businesses, rather than residential.  Mr. Kottas agreed with Ms. Hollaway.  However, he is not certain the Bypass will ever be constructed, and he does not want to lose the opportunity to develop the space.
Mr. Joe Tiratto of 3320 Redmond Hill stated his objection to the amendment to the Master PUD plan and said that he prefers the space in question to be developed for commercial or retail use.

Mimi Shimp of 5043 Falling Water Rd asked the difference between the proposed townhouse area in Bent Creek and the Active Adult residential area, especially if there is no age restriction.  Mr. Kottas responded that the floor plan of the Active Adult area is completely different and not conducive to families with children.  The townhouses are two-story homes with three bedrooms.  The Active Adult homes are one-story homes with one master bedroom and a very small second bedroom.  Ms. Shimp said she disagrees with the use of the area for residential.  She prefers commercial.
Jana Zbinden of 6041 Christmas Drive asked to clarify the pricing of the Active Adult homes.  Jack Luddington of Goodall Homes said that the square footage of these homes is about $130.00 per square foot.  They are designed with many upgrades like hardwood flooring, granite countertops and “bells and whistles” that are typically sought by baby boomers that are downsizing.  Mr. Luddington invited citizens to visit their other Active Adult residential area in Goodlettsville to see an example of the styles.

Manuel Lopez of 4875 Powder Springs Rd. asked for historical data on the impact of home values in other areas where Active Adult residential have been developed.  Mr. Luddington explained that this housing product is a very positive impact on home values within other communities where there is an integrated plan with other size homes.  In many cases, parents live in the same neighborhood as their children and grandchildren, which is very positive.

Mr. Lopez also asked how often the traffic studies are conducted and why the 2004 traffic study was used.  Don Swartz answered that traffic studies for Nolensville Road are conducted annually, and the results are on the Tennessee Department of Transportation website.  Mr. Lopez asked why a more recent traffic study was not used. 

Conrad Johnson of 4853 Powder Springs Rd. explained that he is from Mississippi and saw Active Adult residential areas pop up frequently there.  He said the floor plans are not desirable for families with young children.  Mr. Johnson said he is a proponent of the Active Adult residential housing.

Sharon Lasseter of 2228 Osburn Rd. in Arrington said she and her husband are very interested in this type of housing, which is why they attended the meeting. 

Mayuri Patel of 4787 Jobe Trail asked if an Active Adult residential area would impact her HOA fee. Mr. Kottas replied no.  These areas have a separate HOA.

Ryan Nance of 4717 Jobe Trail asked what the typical occupancy rate is for Active Adult residential housing.  Mr. Luddington replied that these are selling very well in other areas.  Mr. Kottas explained that in discussing Active Adult residential housing with the president of Jones Company, who has a similar product in McKay’s Mill, he said that this was the best selling home product he has ever seen and it is the best re-sale product he has ever seen.  Mr. Kottas said there were 38 units planned for this particular parcel.

There were no further citizen comments.  Chairman Owens closed the public hearing at 6:43 p.m.

6.  NEW BUSINESS

      A.    Benington Subdivision, Proposed Revision to Subdivision Development Sign at Sunset Road
Chairman Owens moved for approval of the proposed revision to the Benington Subdivision entrance sign.  Commissioner Larry Felts seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

B. Outland USA Site Plan and New Building in Haley Industrial Park
Henry Laird reported that the applicant should follow recommendations made by Tom Allen with Neel-Shaffer regarding storm water.

Chairman Owens made a motion to approve the site plan for Outland USA and new building in Haley Industrial Park with the condition that the applicant adequately addresses any issues and follows recommendations made by Mr. Allen regarding storm water.  Commissioner Felts seconded the motion.

Mayor Alexander noticed that part of the driveway pavement and curb on the south side of the building is within the public utility drainage easement.

Matthew Chilvers, the owner of Outland USA, stated that the portion of the curb in question was designed to allow clearance for truck drivers to safely approach the loading dock.

Town Attorney Bob Notestine stated that the Planning Commission does not normally approve changes to a public utility drainage easement.  After a lengthy discussion, Chairman Owens made an amendment to the original motion that the approval of the Outland USA site plan would be conditioned upon coordination and agreement between the design engineer, Town Planner and Town Engineer about the encroachment on the public utility drainage easement as drawn.  Commissioner Chris Kelly seconded the amendment to the original motion, which passed unanimously.

Chairman Owens then moved to approve the original motion as amended, which passed unanimously.   

C.  Benington Section 6 Final Plat
The project was withdrawn at the request of the applicant.

D.  Bent Creek PUD Master Concept Plan Amendment to Allow Active Adult Residential Housing
Bill Kottas of CK Development, Jack Luddington of Goodall Homes and Eric McNeely of McNeely Civil Engineering represented the project.  Mr. Kottas explained that the commercial component of the Bent Creek PUD had been inserted at the request of Town officials when the original plans were being considered.  Unfortunately, this particular area, according to traffic studies and the number of residential homes do not seem to support a commercial endeavor at this time.  As an alternative, the developers are interested in substituting active adult housing, which is in demand and easy to re-sell.

Eric McNeely explained that the active adult housing concept being considered by the developers is below the threshold for units per acre allowed by the Town Zoning Ordinance in the three zones where attached housing is permitted in Nolensville.  At this point the developer is asking for guidance and feedback from the Planning Commission and staff for the next steps for the project.

Jack Luddington gave some feedback on the active adult residential housing product Goodall Homes would like to build in Bent Creek.

Mayor Alexander said he did not feel the Planning Commission should make any changes to the Master PUD plan until the Bent Creek homeowners had a chance to review the plan at a Public Hearing.

Some discussion was held about the proper procedure for the public hearing for zoning change request and subsequent approval by the Planning Commission and Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

On consensus, Chairman Owens recommended the Public Hearing for the amendment to the Bent Creek PUD Master Concept Plan to allow active adult residential housing be held prior to the next Planning Commission meeting on December 11, 2012 at 6:00 p.m.

8.  BONDS 

A.  Bond Action:

1.  Brittain Downs Phase 1 requests a variance to allow additional bond reduction.
Laird stated that our Subdivision Regulations allow for only one reduction of bond amount and that the developer would like to ask for another reduction.
Joe Epps, of Anderson, Delk and Epps, represented the developer.  He said that Mr. Yazdian’s company is trying to show the bank progress has been made so that the bond can remain guaranteed by a credit line.  If the bond amount remains the same, Mr. Yazdian fears the bank may require him to cover the entire bond with cash.  The amount of work left to be completed is $52,239.00.
Mayor Alexander and several Planning Commissioners expressed concern that granting a variance may set a precedent whereby other developers will ask for additional reductions.
Town Engineer Don Swartz stated that when entertaining a bond reduction, it is customary to add 10% contingency to the amount of work left to be done, which would bring the Performance bond amount to $57,550.00
Chairman Owens made a motion to approve a variance to the Subdivision Regulations and allow a second bond reduction for Brittain Downs Phase 1 performance bond to $57,550.00.  Mayor Alexander seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

2. Bent Creek Phase 4 Section 1B requests revision of original performance bond amount
Laird explained that the original performance bond amount was $75,343.00 but that the developer had completed a significant amount of work since this amount was set.  The plat had not yet been recorded nor the bond posted.  The developer requested a reduction to $50,099.06, and the Town Engineer concurred that this amount would be acceptable.        

Chairman Owens made a motion to approve performance bond amount reduction to $50,099.06.  Commissioner Grosson seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

3. Benington Section 5 requests revision to the original performance bond amount
This request is similar to the previous bond action item.  Laird explained that the original performance bond amount was $354,621.00 but that the developer had completed a significant amount of work since this amount was set.  The bond amount was already revised once previously, but the plat had not yet been recorded nor the bond posted.  The developer requested a reduction to $57,511.50, and the Town Engineer concurred that this amount would be acceptable.
Chairman Owens made a motion to approve performance bond amount reduction to $57,511.50.  Commissioner Felts seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

4.  Bent Creek Phase 7 Section 1 performance bond extension
Chairman Owens made a motion to approve a 30-day extension of the performance bond.  Commissioner Haines seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

B.  Bond Report
Chairman Owens made a motion to approve the bond report as amended.  Commissioner Doug Radley seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously.

At this time, Chairman Owens returned to New Business Item C—Land Use Policy Plan Amendment for South Nolensville.

Dwight Kiser of Kiser Vogrin Design represented the applicants on this agenda item.  His partner Gary Vogrin handed out a hard copy of Mr. Kiser’s presentation prepared.  Mr. Shawn Henry, land use attorney with Tune, Entrekin & White also represented the applicant.

The purpose of the application was to request the Planning Commission’s support of a Land Use Policy Plan amendment to eliminate Paragraph 9 under Section A of the current plan that requires the area South of Rocky Fork Road to be developed as single family residential conventional subdivision and allow for a mixed use “southern village” community that could encompass a variety of medium to high-density residential and commercial services or retail, among other land uses.

The impetus for the proposed revision to the existing Land Use plan was the Williamson County Schools’ announcement that they had purchased property in South Nolensville for a new high school and elementary school for the area.

Following the presentation by Mr. Kiser and a presentation by staff of counter-arguments, a lengthy discussion took place on various topics such as the relevance and updating of a land use plan, growth in Williamson County and Nolensville, the character and density of the Town, the traffic impact of a high density community and school campus.  Mr. Henry, on behalf of the applicant, then requested an opportunity to meet with staff for further input and a deferral by the Planning Commission.  Chairman Owens agreed to the deferral.

At this time, Chairman Owens returned to New Business Item A--Site plan and final plat for Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at 1646 Sunset Road.

Henry Laird gave a brief introduction of the project and a list of possible conditions to a potential motion, and Don Swartz addressed the question of a traffic study for Sunset Road.  Swartz has asked the architect to perform an analysis of whether a left turn lane would be needed, depending on the outcome of the traffic study.  Chairman Owens asked for citizen comments on the current agenda item.

Several citizens spoke in opposition to the church project based on the size, the potential increase in traffic and the proposed lighting of the building and parking lot.

A considerable number of citizens spoke in favor of the church project, attesting to the number of families and cars attending Sunday meetings and other weekly meetings.  The citizens confirmed that the church will be a good neighbor and do what is right to meet the concerns of the residents.

Darwin Shockley, architect, addressed some of the concerns expressed.  He said the applicant is willing to install timing devices to control the lighting on the building when it is not in use.  He addressed the plans for sewer and also said the buffering and landscaping would be installed to meet the town ordinances and be aesthetically pleasing.  Matt Taylor, civil engineer, addressed the footprint of the building and tree wells.

Commissioner Kelly expressed an adamant concern that the traffic study be performed prior to the approval of the project.  Additional discussion took place regarding the requirement and specifics of the traffic analysis.

Chairman Owens made a motion for the final plat for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to be recorded conditioned upon the final results and any necessary changes required by the traffic study.  Commissioner Haines seconded the motion.  The vote was 6 – 1 in favor of the motion.

Chairman Owens made a motion for site plan approval for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints with the conditions below.  Developer agrees to:

• Re-design detention pond in front and landscape as an amenity in accordance with Tom Allen’s comments.
• Change the small area on the North elevation shown as gray brick to red brick as shown on Josh Hughes’s marked up plans and reflect in a revised elevation of the North side of the church and the construction plans. 
• Delete the emergency lighting fixtures shown on the building elevations and reflect in the revised elevations and the construction plans.
• Submit cost estimates on the proposed landscaping to determine the amount of the landscaping performance bonding.
• Provide a traffic impact analysis and implement changes, if required, at the outcome of the analysis.
• Revise the landscape plan to increase the caliper size of trees on the plan. 
Commissioner Haines seconded the motion, which passed by a vote of 6 – 1.

Chairman Owens made a motion to recommend approval the release of Bent Creek Phase 2 Section 3 with the following conditions:
• Developer agrees that the remaining work is to be completed within one year, and
• A cash bond of $7,780.00 is to be posted in Escrow as surety.  Commissioner Haines seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.  This request will be heard at the August, 2, 2012 Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting for final approval.

2. Benington Phase 5 requests a revision of the performance bond amount.
Mayor Alexander asked about a road failure in Benington.  Eric McNeely addressed the failure, which is in Phase 2 and abuts Phase 5.  The Phase is in Maintenance.  Commissioner Chris Kelly stated he lives in Benington and confirmed the problem.  Mayor Alexander asked Mr. McNeely to look into the failure and address the immediate nature of the problem with the developer of this section, Bill Kottas, and respond back to the Planning Commission on the outcome.
Lengthy discussion then occurred about the request for revision of the performance bond amount for Benington Phase 5.  Mr. Pennington, representing Barlow Builders, requested to revise the amount of the performance bond to $57, 522.00.  The requested amount submitted in writing along with a stamped spreadsheet of completed and remaining work was $237,823.22.  Pennington referred to a phone conversation that took place the day before with Don Swartz as the basis for the change. 

Discussion and a review of the rules for submitting a request to the Planning Commission continued while Town Engineer Don Swartz was contacted by cell phone for feedback.  By cell phone, Swartz stated that he had not seen the spreadsheet from Gresham Smith just submitted by Pennington or inspected any additional work in this Phase of Benington.  He stated he had only spoken by phone to Dan Crunk, another representative of Barlow Builders, about the process for further revision and could only agree to the official revision of the performance bond to $237,823.22.  Chairman Owens asked Pennington if he would like to accept this revision or request a deferral to the August Planning Commission meeting.  Pennington requested a few moments to confer with a colleague outside.  The Commission agreed to suspend the issue and come back to it momentarily.

He said he would request another revision at the next meeting.  Chairman Owens made a motion to approve this revision of the performance bond to this amount for Benington Phase 5.  Commissioner Radley seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

B.  Bond Report
Chairman Owens made a motion to approve the bond report as amended.  Commissioner Kelly seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously.

OTHER
Alderman Lothers clarified her earlier statement about walking trails between Ballenger Farms and McFarlin Woods in her comments regarding the concept plan for Burkitt Village, saying it is always easier to accomplish connectivity between subdivisions with trails when they are part of the original plans for the development rather than trying to put them in after the development is underway. 

Bob Notestine also questioned Mr. Pennington’s comments on a further reduction of the performance bond for Benington Phase 5.  Mr. Laird clarified that the request on tonight’s agenda was actually a revision of the original performance bond amount, not a reduction, because the plat has not yet been recorded nor has surety been established.

5.  CITIZEN COMMENTS
Ms. Jana Truman of 3232 Locust Hollow in Bent Creek brought a prepared statement from Alderman Beth Lothers.  In her letter to the Planning Commission, Lothers, the current chairperson of the Trees and Trails Committee stated she had concerns about Item A on tonight’s agenda, Bent Creek Townhomes Sections I – IV PUD Plan.  Lothers said she believed the PUD plan does not adequately support the Land Use Policy Plan by leaving out trails and sidewalks that connect streets and neighborhoods to one another.  She stated that the Trees and Trails Committee has been working hard to bring all neighborhoods, including Bent Creek closer by making sure they connect safely to the ballpark, Nolensville Elementary and the Historic District.  Lothers and other members of the Committee feel that the developer of Bent Creek should take the following actions to adhere to the Town’s policies:

o Pave the trail that connects townhouse residents to Bittick’s trail along the creek
o Require at the minimum, crushed asphalt trails on Sam Donald connecting the Townhomes to the Bent Creek entrance for a completed trail loop.  (Some berming would need to be modified, removed and re-landscaped closer to the entrance.)
o If sidewalks are required now, as per the approved plan now, the developer should not be concerned with future development of the road because that would be performed by the Town of Nolensville.
o The Trees and Trails Committee is committed to research pedestrian bridge options over the tributary, therefore the sidewalks can connect to those already in existence and safe crossing into the back of the Historic District will be achieved.

6.  NEW BUSINESS

A.    Bent Creek Townhomes Sections I – IV PUD Plan
Bill Kottas represented CK Development.  Eric McNeely appeared on behalf of CK, Jason Phillips of Phillips Builders and Carla Ediger, chairperson of the Design Review Committee appeared on behalf of the Town.
Chairman Rick Owens mentioned that the first order of business would be consideration of the orientation of the townhome buildings.  Ediger pointed out that even though the architect and members of the Committee worked together to improve the rear elevations of the townhomes, the committee still recommends the outward facing/original orientation of the buildings due to the high visibility of this area.

Mr. Kottas stated that for the good of the current homeowners, both current and future townhome owners, it makes most sense to face the townhomes inward for a better sense of community.

After lengthy discussion between commissioners, Ediger and the applicant about the orientation of the townhomes, the proposed berms, vegetation and sense of community, Chairman Owens made a motion to amend Condition #2 of the original PUD Plan, which requires the townhome buildings to face outward.  Commissioner Reaves clarified that this would mean the homes would be turned in to face internal streets.  Commissioner Radley seconded the motion, which passed by a vote of 6 – 1. 

With the new orientation of townhomes affirmed, the next step, stated Laird, was to approve the site plan with improved design for rear elevations, sidewalks, rear screening and landscaping. 

Ms. Ediger asked about issues that might be covered in the restrictive covenants for the townhome owners, like items restricted from the back patio and in back yards.  Attorney Notestine answered that items such as those allowed or disallowed, screening and fencing would indeed be included in the restricted covenants.  The covenants will have to be reviewed and approved by the Town Attorney, but the Design Review Committee may be brought in to consult on covenants for Bent Creek Townhomes.

Mr. Kottas asked why the developer would need to establish a bond if the streets for the townhome area are private.  Town Attorney Notestine said this would be an issue to review.  It appears that at least a performance bond would be required.

After additional discussion regarding the options on the rear elevations, Chairman Owens made a motion to approve the rear elevation with the Hardieboard on the second floor.  Commissioner Haines seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Attorney Notestine requested that the developer and builder attorneys include the language mentioned at this meeting in the draft of the restricted covenants.

Mayor Alexander asked for a review of Alderman Lothers’ memo to the Planning Commission regarding trails and sidewalks in Bent Creek.  Mr. Kottas replied that there have never been plans to put a sidewalk or trail on Sam Donald Rd.  Citizen Brian Truman, of 3232 Locust Hollow attested that many residents in Bent Creek are interested in having a trail or sidewalk.

Chairman Owens then made a motion to approve the site plan as amended for Bent Creek Townhomes Sections I – V PUD with the condition that the Planning Commission have the opportunity to review existing trail connectivity and confer with the Town Engineer.  This is an outstanding condition that will continue until it is resolved.  Commissioner Haines seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

B. Catalina Phase 3, Final Plat

Ron Lowery with Delta Associates represented Turnberry Homes. 

After discussion about street lights and fire hydrants being added to the plat, Chairman Owens made a motion to approve the final plat for Catalina Phase 3 with the following conditions: 

• Developer agrees to revise the plat to show street lights and fire hydrants.  Street lights will match existing lights in the subdivision.
• Performance bonding to be set at $48,312.00 and landscaping performance bond to be set at $16,500.00.
Commissioner Felts seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. 

C.  Text Amendment to Zoning Ordinance Concerning Homes for the Aged in the ER Zoning District
The applicant, Rick Barker, appeared to present a proposed small-scale home for the aged.  Mr. Barker is looking at property on Rocky Fork Road, in the ER Zoning District for this business.  Currently, an assisted living home for the aged is not allowed in this District.

After lengthy discussion about the size of the home and facilities, traffic and parking, potential future development in the area Commissioner Haines made a motion to ask the Town Planner to conduct additional study and write a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance for the Planning Commission to consider that would allow a home for the aged in the ER District.  Chairman Owens seconded the motion.  Commissioner Felts reminded the board that a change to the Zoning Ordinance would include other properties in addition to the one in question on Rocky Fork Road.  The motion carried unanimously.

Eric McNeely represented the developer, Barlow Builders.
Town Attorney Bob Notestine mentioned that when the initial plan for Benington was submitted, he had spoken with Ms. Taube, the owner of the adjacent property, who had some concerns that she expressed to Mayor Napper and to him.  Ms. Taube was not present at tonight’s meeting, and neither Henry Laird nor Eric McNeely was aware of any current issues relating to the Taube property.

With no other discussion, Chairman Owens made a motion to approve the final plat for Benington Section 5 with the following conditions:

After an extensive discussion about the length and grading of driveways, sizes of the lots, homes and garages, walking trail materials, and the pocket park shown on the plan, Chairman Owens made a motion to approve Bent Creek Phase 4 Section 1 Final PUD Plan Revisions.  Commissioner Haines seconded the motion.  The final vote was 7 – 1 in favor of approval, and the motion passed.

C.  Winterset Woods Phase 6 Reforestation Plan
Masoud Fathi represented the developer for Winterset Woods.  Some discussion took place about the grade and fill for the disturbed area in Phase 6 that was erroneously cleared.  Some concern was expressed by Commissioners Jimmy Reaves and Bob Haines about the potential survival rate of the trees and lack of irrigation on their plan.  Henry Laird confirmed that the area would be covered by a bond and surety provided by the developer.
Chairman Owens made a motion for approval of the Winterset Woods Phase 6 Reforestation Plan with performance bonding set at $30,000.  Mayor Alexander seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously.

E.  Bent Creek Townhomes Section I – IV PUD Plan

Bill Kottas, principal of CK Development, Eric McNeely and Jason Phillips of Phillips Builders represented the project.  Mr. Kottas showed a PowerPoint presentation illustrating examples of two different layouts proposed:  inward facing with driveways and garages located in the front; and outward facing, with driveways and garages in the backs of the units.  He stated the newer plan for the townhouse project would reorient the buildings so that the backs of the townhomes face Sam Donald Road.  This reorientation would relieve the existing homeowners from having to look into a parking lot and would allow the townhome owners to use their back yards as living space instead of parking space.
Jason Phillips stated that examples of their townhome products are available as built in the Providence area of Mt. Juliet, which have been very successful there.  Chairman Owens asked Carla Ediger, chair of the Town Design Review Committee to give comments on the design of the townhomes.  Ms. Ediger stated that the Committee was most concerned about the rear elevations of the townhome buildings.  She said the Committee did not receive much cooperation from the builder in response to its requests and suggestions, and that the options offered by Phillips Builders are not the best or only way to build the townhomes.

Mr. Phillips stated that some of the comments made by the Committee were economically infeasible but would be willing to meet face to face to see what could be accomplished to better meet the criteria of the Town. 

Chairman Owens asked for consensus among Planning Commissioners about the reorientation of the townhomes prior to moving forward.  Commissioners Felts, Radley and Reaves all agreed with the reorientation but expressed the need for revisions to the design to address the rear of the units.  Chairman Owens said that he preferred the original outward orientation of the townhomes.

Mr. Kottas then asked to defer a decision on the project until the builder, Jason Phillips, and his architect could meet with the Design Review Committee.

By acclimation, a deferral on the Bent Creek Townhomes Sections I- IV to the May 8, 2012 Planning Commission meeting was granted.
