Argent, asked permission to discuss Title 22 and its enforcement, violations, etc. as it pertains to property immediately across Argent from his property.

Mr. Alvin Gower, 7715 Dradie, disagreed. He felt Mr. Magula should have been heard as he, too, had tried to see City staff in an attempt to resolve differences.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: MAYOR JACKSON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE VILLAGE AT SUN WILLOWS, PHASE I. It was noted that the Hearing had been duly publicized and all property owners notified. Mr. David McDonald stated the City retained the services of a consulting engineer to prepare a preliminary plat for The Village at Sun Willows Phase I. The plat has been reviewed several times by City staff and it appears to contain the information required by Municipal Code for preliminary plat approval. Lot sizes range from 6,900 sq. ft. to 13,000 sq. ft. with the average lot being 8,280 sq. ft. 6,900 sq. ft. is less than the minimum for regular R-1 zoning, however, this plat is being proposed for a PUD development wherein lot sizes do not necessarily have to conform to any particular standard. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Jackson for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed. Mr. Garrison moved to approve the Preliminary Plat for the Village at Sun Willows, Phase I. Seconded by Mr. Snider. Motion carried. (Mr. Hendler abstained from voting due to conflict of interest). PUD Designation the Village at Sun Willows (MF #90-4-PUD). Mr. McDonald reported that the hearing had been duly publicized and all affected property owners notified. There were no written communications. Following hearing before Planning Commission, they recommended that the PUD be established with a minimum density requirement of 5,000 sq. ft. per dwelling unit. Typically, when the Planning Commission forwards a recommendation to the City Council a public hearing is not held unless an individual files an appeal on the recommendation. In this case, no one has filed an appeal, but because this is the first PUD to be established, and the fact that the City is the landowner, staff felt it appropriate to conduct a public hearing. There will be some minor changes to present covenants. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Jackson for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed.
