Industrial" to "PD: Planned Development" Brent Miles, Director of Planning and Economic Development and to consider the said that the City is asking that this item be tabled after a staff preliminary plat and report. He explained that the requested action is to rezone preliminary approximately twelve point seven five (12.75) acres from "GP -1: development plan for General Planned Industrial" to "PD: Planned Development ", Belgian Bottoms which is generally located west of Mattox, north of NW 43` Business Park Lots 2A Street, along NW Belgian Blvd. The property in question is and 3A. owned by J -Jay Properties (Complete Home Concepts). This property does not include the recently constructed 100,000 square foot Complete Home Concepts facility and is located primarily to the south of this new structure. This proposal is a new concept to Riverside and is a proposed industrial condominium project. Companies will physically own the interior and will pay into an association for the upkeep of the exterior, landscaping and parking lots. The exterior of the building will be constructed but no interior walls will be constructed until the space is purchased by individuals. The area will be sold in 10,000 square foot increments and all areas will have dock access. Fifty thousand square feet have already been spoken for once this project is complete but nothing has been officially signed. This concept is appealing to individuals because of the tax benefit for owning your own property but does not require the responsibility and upkeep of owning your own building. Commissioner Ray Uhl asked if it would be possible to change the configuration of the inside of the building to fit other needs or new owners. Miles replied that all the walls will be fire proof and as space is sold legal descriptions of the property that each company owns will be recorded with the County. Any changes to be made would have to come back before the Commission. Chair Snyder asked how the utilities would be taken care of Miles replied that he believes that all the utilities will go to one meter and the fee will be divided among the businesses and pro rated, but the City is still checking into that and other questions. The sewer is something else the City is trying to work out. The information has been sent to Ford Nelson with Armstrong Teasdale, who is experienced in dealing with the legal aspects of condominiums. Staff is working on answering these questions and getting renderings and landscaping for the next meeting. Mayor Rose asked what was being done with stormwater on this property. Miles replied that stormwater management is difficult because there is no system in the area. The ideal situation will be to have the water detained on the site and naturally migrate out at the same rate it does currently. Commissioner Salyer asked if there is a plan for all of Horizons. Miles explained that there is a plan for the east side of Horizons because it will all be owned by the same developer. The west side has six different owners. The best solution would be for there to be one single developer for the entire area. Commissioner Uhl commented that the City can still control the types of buildings just not the water. Miles explained that the problem is not the water on the property; it is what happens to the water when it leaves. Miles said that there will be a full presentation for this Public Hearing at the next meeting. The Public Hearing to consider a request to consider a rezoning application from "GP -I: General Planned Industrial" to "PD: Planned Development" and to consider the preliminary plat and preliminary development plan for Belgian Bottoms Business Park Lots 2A and 3A was continued to the next meeting. 2 Land Disturbance Miles gave a staff report for the Land Disturbance Permit for Don Permit: Don Coleman — Coleman. He explained that the applicant, Don Coleman, has 4030 NW Van de applied for a Land Disturbance Permit for fill activities located at Populiere. 4030 NW Van de Populiere. The property in question is an undeveloped piece of property located within the Riverside Horizons Project. The applicant is anticipating 611 for the project for future development which is undetermined at this time. Generally, the fill to be placed will bring the property to an elevation to that of the proposed Horizons Parkway. The applicant has submitted plans which include a Title Sheet, Topographical Survey, Land Disturbance Plans, Drainage Area Map, an Erosion Control Plan and a Details Sheet. The applicant plans to fill roughly 120,000 cubic yards at the site. Due to the activities taking place on the site, a Land Disturbance Permit must be obtained. Don Coleman received approval for a Land Disturbance Permit in April 2007 for a portion of this site; this application is an expansion of the previously approved permit. It was suspected that this additional 40 acres were going to be certified wetlands by the Corps of Engineers, however, it was not. Commissioner Uhl asked where the fill would be coming from. Miles replied that it will most likely be coming from various sites, but the City requires it to be GEO tested to ensure that it is clean from debris. Miles explained that the requirements for the Land Disturbance Permit are the same as before. The request for a Land Disturbance Permit is governed by section 400.260 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The procedure for a Land Disturbance Permit is approval by the Planning Commission and does not proceed to the Board of Aldermen. Commissioner Salyer asked if this Land Disturbance Permit was any different than the one the Commission saw at the previous meeting for Briarcliff Development Company because that one had a lot more detail. Miles explained that a lot of the extra regulations were put on Briarcliff Development Company because of the size of the project and its location. Commissioner Salyer asked what the timeline for this Land Disturbance Permit was. Miles replied that it would be about two years. Commissioner Uhl asked about seeding in areas that are not being worked in. Miles replied that some things still need to be added in the notes and the City is still waiting on comments to be returned. Commissioner Bowman moved to approve the Land Disturbance Permit for Don Coleman with the provisions that all review comments are addressed, they obtain a surety bond, and a MDNR permit. Commissioner Snoderley seconded and the motion passed.

He added that the first meeting in January would be on the 10 th at 7pm. The Commission agreed.
