The forum would take place on Saturday, November 22. <br /> <br />Ms. McCall-Taylor suggested that the Board plan on a second session regarding the Ledgemont rezoning. <br /> <br />***************************SUBDIVISION ADMINISTRATION*************************** <br />Lexington Hills withdrew their request for lot releases. <br /> <br />341 Marrett Road, Sketch Plan: In attendance were Rick Waitt, and Brian Timm of Meridian Associates, <br />Ron Lopez, applicant, and Dan Harrington, attorney. <br /> <br />Mr. Waitt said that they had withdrawn the previous plan and are back with a sketch plan with several <br />different options. The sketch plan includes the Balanced Housing Development (BHD) options and the <br />proof plan. Balanced Housing Development Options A-C would have nine units. In Option A the duplex <br />units were stepped, in Option B the units would be on a level plane and Option C would have the carriage <br />house removed. If the conventional option were used there would be increased clearing and the grading <br />would be more severe. The architectural structures of the BHD would have hip roofs, windows and <br />shingles resembling the existing structures and the height would range from 30-33 feet maximum. <br /> <br />Board Questions and Comments: <br />Mr. Canale <br />?? <br />BHD Options A-C - do they have the same GFA? Mr. Waitt said they have approximately 1,500 <br />square feet less GFA than the ten-unit plan. <br />?? <br />There was lack of communication with abutters in the past, what has changed? Mr. Waitt said <br />they met with four representatives from the neighborhoods. While the meeting was cordial the <br />neighbors would prefer more of a reduction and were not willing to support any particular plan. <br />Mr. Zurlo <br />?? <br />The first choice would be Option B and second choice would be the proof plan. With the <br />conventional plan the homes would be similar to the surrounding neighborhood. <br />?? <br />Eliminate one townhouse and divide the main house into two units. Mr. Harrington said that <br />could not be done. This plan was totally in compliance with the new bylaw, please be sure to <br /> <br />
