An ordinance was presented for rezoning of property at 501-:507 Camp McDonald Road, from RX (Single Family Residential) district to R3 (Low Density Residence) district, which was previously approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission by a vote of 5-0. The petitioner would like to construct a 22-unit townhome development on the property. A second ordinance was presented to grant a Conditional Use Permit for this 22-unit townhome Planned Unit Development. The Planning and Zoning Commission had also recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit by a vote of 5-0. Mr. Walter Wyszynski, of Discovery Homes, Inc., and the project architect Greg Geslicki, answered questions from the Board. Of primary concern to Board members were the shortage of parking spaces and the size of the proposed patios. Each unit is designed to have two parking spaces, with 11 guest spaces throughout the development. The patios are proposed at five-feet, seven inches by ten to twelve feet (5'7" x 10-12"), which was less than adequate, according to several members of the Board. Some trustees stated that if they had to vote on the proposed development at this time, they would not vote in favor of the project.
