Subject:RE: Brickyard Subdivision - CUP, MDA, PP H-2017-0107 Staff Recommendation to
Commission for 9/7 Mtg
Sonya,
I appreciate the time and effort you put into preparing the staff report. Per our conversation yesterday and this
morning, we would like to request the following minor modifications to the staff report for the Brickyard Subdivision:
• Amenities
o Throughout the report it states that we will be installing a pool and a splash pad. As we discussed, we
initially planned on installing a splash pad, but have since replaced the splash pad with a pool.
Unfortunately our application was not clear that the pool was to replace the splash pad. We changed
the splash pad to a pool because we believe a pool will be a more desirable amenity to the future
residents of the project and will require less water demand compared to a splash pad amenity. Please
remove all references to a splash pad in the report.
o Page 8 of the report states that we will be providing plastic contour benches and public art. This is an
error. Please remove reference to the plastic contour benches and public art.
• Landscaping
o Page 9 of the report states that we have proposed to install a five-foot tall metal view fence along the
east boundary of the site adjacent to future commercial uses. We would like to modify this and propose
to install a 6-foot tall vinyl privacy fence along this east boundary, to provide a clear separation and
privacy between the project and any future development to the east.
• Development Agreement
o The Proposed Modified Development agreement states that the “Multi-family units shall be restricted to
2-stories in height along the west boundary adjacent to Champion Park Subdivision to preserve view
corridors of adjacent residents as proposed by the Developer”. Per our conversation, I’ve attached the
following exhibit to show specifically which units are restricted to 2-stories in height. The two-story
restricted units are indicated with a red dot:
2
I appreciate your help, and look forward to discussing the project with you and the Planning and Zoning Commission at
tonight’s meeting.
Best,
3
