April 27, 2006 presented. Commissioner Uhl seconded. Snoderley and Locke

Public Hearing The applicant, T.E. Woods Construction has requested revising
To consider amending the the approved development plan for Gatewoods Planned
approved development Development by amending Ordinance 2005 -132. Since
plan for the Gatewoods Gatewoods is a Planned Development all house plans must be
Planned Development approved by ordinance. The applicant is requesting one new
regarding approved house house plan be approved, the `Evergreen.' The plan meets the
plans requirement for overall square feet but does not meet the
minimum number of square feet for the ground floor.
Commissioner Uhl asked, "If approved, would this be unique to
Gatewoods?" Miles said yes because of the planned
development ordinance. Several of the commissioners were
concerned about using siding on a large expanse because
sometimes siding on a 2 -story home is wavy. The applicant
replied that when siding has a wavy appearance, it is because it is
of cheap quality, i.e., its lower mil rate and poor installation
make it wavy. Woods uses a 4.4 mil rate product.
The siding will be vertical on the sides and the back of the home.
The only horizontal siding will be on the front. Miles said that, in
the future, he wants more stone on the front of the houses with
rear setbacks amended and some front yard exceptions. Phase 11
will be planned differently. This was not a good planned
development from the outset and, therefore, it has been
challenging to deal with.
Commissioner Uhl made a motion to accept the Evergreen plan
with vertical siding. Bowman amended to motion to say that the
plan would be approved but with no more than 5 of the plan in
the subdivision. Commissioner Poe seconded. Motion passed.
Public Hearing The applicant, T.E. Woods Construction, requested revising the
To consider amending the approved development plan for Gatewoods Planned
approved development Development by amending Ordinance 2002 -68 to change the
plan for the Gatewoods setbacks for Lots 29 and 30. Miles asked the applicant to explore
Planned Development in pushing the structures on those lots to a 35 ft. setback instead of
regard to rear yard a 36 ft. setback. Commissioner Poe questioned the applicant as
setbacks for Lots 29 and to why the setback had been moved a foot from 35 to 36 feet.
30 Commissioner Snoderley commented that the only way to fit the
big houses that are selling well on the lots is to increase the
setbacks.

change the rear yard setbacks for Lots 29 and 30. Commissioner
Lively seconded. Motion passed.

would be 4 feet high and would be constructed of treated wood.
