7) Courtesy reviews—
a. Corner of Highway 9 and Bethany Bend, Pikes Nursery, Jeff Loman
Comments:
Deliveries should be made from the back, onto Bethany Bend. We do
not need any more truck traffic on Highway 9. There should be some sort
of truck turnaround.
Delivery hours should be restricted to after rush hour.
We need to understand how the overall transportation flow is working.
This does not work. The big picture is not being looked at.
The building is too close to the roads. It needs additional
plantings/landscape.
Pitch the roof of the retail portion of the building to match the
greenhouse area.
b. 840 & 850 Mayfield Road, The Mayfield, Mixed use development, Brian
King
I find the building attractive. My concern is the amount of cars going in
and out. That intersection is a nightmare. I think the area needs more
infrastructure.
Too much of a beachy look. Although, the variety may be something of
a blessing in some ways.
Should conform to the Form Base Code, specifically the vernacular style.
Will need some fine tuning.
c. V16-010, 4129 Stourbridge Common Circle, Kensley amenity area,
Michelle Horstemeyer, John Weiland Homes
Requests(s):
To reduce the 100’ foot setback adjacent to interior property lines and
single-family uses for a neighborhood swimming pool to zero feet
(Section 64-1609,2b)
Comments:
Why not move the amenity area to lots 59,60, and 61. Or to lots 11 &12.
This will tie the two amenity areas together.
This development is already pretty dense. It seems that they are just
trying to cram more stuff in. Maybe you should have fewer houses. I am
not in support.
Nobody would want their house backing up to a 30 foot retaining wall.
The amenity area should be put where it affects the least amount of
people. This location would minimize light and noise pollution.
You, the developer, know what you bought. You should plan for it.
d. V16-011, 13385 Cogburn Road, Ralph Simms
Requests(s):
To allow an existing accessory structure to be located in the side
setback by 22’ (Section 64-416,ci,i)
Comments:
If you have a problem with your neighbor backing onto your property,
put up a fence.
The neighbors need to work something out.
e. V16-012, 13448 Hipworth Road, Patrick and Sarah Waite
Requests(s):
To allow a pool, pool deck and pool equipment to encroach into the
75 foot impervious setback (Section 20-426,2)
Comments:
Not disturbing the buffer is your responsibility.
It’s not fair to the homeowner, if the developer creates a lot that can’t
fit a pool.
Put a construction fence up along the 50 foot buffer.
Have your surveyor plot exactly where the fence has to go.
