General Discussion Brent Miles apologized for not having a monthly development report
for October. He briefly updated the Commission on the status of
homes in the Gatewoods Development. He indicated that 4 homes
were being constructed, 4 lots had been bought, and in addition 4 had
been reserved.
Discussion then turned to the MARC Planning and Zoning Workshops
that several commissioners and Brent had attended at the end of
September. Brent then presented a slide presentation based on the
newest trend in urbanism, Traditional Neighborhood Developments, or
TND's. He urged the commissioners to visit Northgate Village in
North Kansas City, which is a prime example of a TND. This
development combines senior housing, apartments, retail and single -
family homes into one project, often utilizing pocket parks, row houses,
patio homes, and front porches in the design.
Brent indicated that there were several advantages to these types of
developments including a 24 -hour population to support retail within
the community. Fred Russell pointed out that many code problems
were being addressed ahead of time in these types of developments due
to the intense planning involved. Barbara Snyder stated that the
popularity of this type of a development was based on a shift towards
people wanting to come home and have a community there.
Adjournment Shawn Lee moved to adjourn the meeting, Al Bowman seconded and
the motion passed. Chairman Barbara Snyder called the meeting to an
end at 8:15 pm.
