Mr.Petryzinski presented a concept plan to the Commission outlining the proposed changes to the plat. The changes included alley-loaded single family lots along SE Allye St.and a portion of SE Broderick Dr.,as well as alley-loaded three-and two-story attached row dwellings along SE Booth Ave.,adjacent to L.A.Grant Pkwy.The row dwellings would be for sale,not rent.Mr.Petryzinski then stated that Hubbell Development was prepared to move forward with the plat as initially approved by the Commission and City Council if the new concept did not meet City approval.Commissioner Sclmtidt pointed out that the row dwellings did not meet the hard surface requirement for three-story multi-family buildings.He also asked why the petition of surrounding property owners had not yet been provided to the City.Mr.Petryzinski answered that they were still in the process of obtaining the signatures and would have them prior to City Council consideration.Commissioner Sclmtidt then stated that he was not in favor of approving rezoning without the petition signatures,as it was not fair to the surrounding property owners.Commissioner Wilson asked if alley-loaded single family homes could be constructed along SE Booth Ave.instead of row dwellings.Mr.Petryzinski said they could be constructed,but that Hubbell Development would rather have all proposed changes rejected outright than eliminate the row dwellings.Commissioners Mook and Krantz both stated that they liked the row dwelling concept. Council Representative Mertz also spoke in favor of the concept,and suggested the Commission look at a similar Hubbell project being constructed in Ankeny.Chad Weaver reminded the Commission that the Comprehensive Plan allows for multi-family development in this area,that there would likely be commercial and/or multi-family to the immediate north on the Broderick piece and that the Venards inrmediately to the south had already contemplated zoning for townhomes.At this point,Chairman Steele asked for comments from those surrounding property owners in attendance.Mr.Dave Stouffer,vice president of the Brighton Park Homeowners'Association,read aloud from a letter written by Mr.Rand Thacker,president of the Brighton Park Homeowners'Association.In the letter,Mr.Thacker stated the Association's objection to the rezoning,citing decreased property values,typical high turnover rates for multi-family developments,and excessive high-density residential development in the area.Mr.Stouffer echoed the sentiments of Mr.Thacker,adding his concern with the additional traffic that would occur 152 • along L.A.Grant Pkwy.Mr.Phil Broderick then addressed the Commission,stating that he was an enthusiastic supporter of the original Glynn Village concept,but that he did not want the alley-loaded single family homes along SE Allye St.as he would be able to see the alleys from his property,and the alleys may detract from any future development opportunities he may have for the parcel adj acent to the south of his residence and to his parcel at the comer of University and L.A.Grant Pkwy.Mr.Vic Peterson next addressed the Commission,briefly stating his support of the position of the Brighton Park Homeowners'Association.Council Member Bailey arrived at 7:58 p.m.Chad Weaver asked if the rezoning consideration could be delayed until the next Commission meeting;Mr.Petryzinski stated that he would rather have a decision made immediately,as the construction season was getting shorter.He also stated that Hubbell Development would be presenting the concept as-is to the City Council,whatever decision the Commission may make.Motion by Commissioner Hoifeldt,seconded by Commissioner Krantz,to "Approve the Rezoning of a Portion of Glynn Village Plat 1 from R-l [Single Family Residential District]and PD-l [Planned Development Overlay District]to R -4 [Row Dwelling and Townhome District]and PD-l [Planned Development Overlay District],provided no alley-loaded single family lots are allowed along SE Allye St."Ayes:Hoifeldt,Krantz,Mook,Wilson,Steele.Nays: Schmidt.Motion carried.Council Member Bailey left at 8:25 p.m. Approve the Preliminary Plat for Glynn Village Plat 1.There was some discussion as to the alley entrances off SE Booth Ave.The City requested that the southern entrance align with that to the north, due to the proximity of the southern entrance to L.A.Grant Pkwy.Motion by Commissioner Hoifeldt, seconded by Commissioner Krantz,to "Approve the Preliminary Plat for Glynn Village Plat 1,provided the southern alley entrance off SE Booth Ave.be moved to the east to align with the northern alley entrance and that no alleys be used off of SE Allye St."Ayes:Hoifeldt,Krantz,Mook,Schmidt,Wilson, Steele.Nays:None.Motion carried.
