Tom I lumphrcy, Planning Director, presented the Planning Deparhuent Staff Report. The applicants have asked the City to amend their previous Tentative Plan approval to relocate the pedestrian right-of-way from the southerly border of the Brookfield Estates Subdivision to an area between lots 12 and 13. This change will allow the developers to avoid using the Rogue River Valley Irrigation District easement, will provide better pedestrian access, and wilt save the developers the cost of constructing of a second bridge. The easements will allow residents to walk on sidewalks or pedestrian easements fom MitchelPs landing all the way to Mae Kichardson Elementary without having to walk nn a busy road. The City will have to work with the owners of die Rustic Mobile Home Parkin order to get access along the south side of their property and also acquire right-of--way across 372W IOBA, TaY Lot 4800. The right-of--way will be paved, include a security fence, on either side, and be illuminated to the satisfaction of the City of Central Point. The path will curve at the end to avoid a irrigation box. Doug McMahan, of IIoffUuhr and Associates, is the agent for applicant Pac Trend. The proposed route is better for the entire development because it will allow better pedestrian access, and they will not affect the irrigation districts easement. They are still investigating to see if a fence can be constructed across ofthe irrigation easement. The sewer and gas will connect into the subdivision once construction starts. The lines on the southerly side of the development will then he removed or abandoned. Mrs. Baskin, of928 Mendolia Way, stated she would like the pedestrian easement to connect on the Northerly side of the detention basin located to the North of her property. Mr. Humphrey stated the walkway will either be on the North side of the detention basin, or down the middle of it. James Hcnney, of 498 Strait Way, stated he approves of the development. Ile would like to ask if the irrigation canal could go down the front of the lots hr a new pipe, so that the district could abandon the old pipeline and dte casement. Mr. McMahan stated they are working with the hrigation District, and wish it was as easy as Mr. Heaney stated.

The subdivision is located in the R-2 Residential Two-Family zone district on Man 372W~1B, Tas Lot 2500. Coro Humphrey, presented the Planning Deparrinent Staff Report. The applicants are requesting that the Commission consider modifications to their earlier approval of the Final Development Plan for Parkwood 't'errace Estates Planned Unit Development. The applicants are asking for four changes: 1.) That they have the ability to do both attached and detached zero lot line homes and the ability to build more single story homes as well; 2.) Reduce the front and rear yard setbacks on lots 43-44, from 10 to 8 on the rear property setback, i 8 to 12 feet on the garage setback, and 18 to 10 on the living area front yard setback; 3.) Reduction of front setbacks ou lots 36-40, garage from 18 to I O, living area from 18 to 10; 4.) The ability to work with staff to eliminate up to 6 lots with lot line adjustments. The City would like to add to the fourth stipulation that the lot elimination could occur through either Lot Line Adjustments or through a Re-plat, whichever staff determines most appropriate. George Gardner. the Applicant, stated that he would like the changes in order to sell homes. Currently, the market is looking for small lots that are single story. In order to do that, he needs to have a product that fits those plans. The only way to do that is by getting changes to the previously approved Final PUD plan. With strong CC&R's the setback can be enforced so people will be required to park their cars inside the garage. Frank Minor, of 629 Meadowbrook. stated they should just make the lots bigger in order to get the types of housing they want, Also, the zoning should be changed in order to match the Central Point East development. Larry Frank. of Windermere Van Vleet and Associates, Inc.,, stated the market is for single family small lot, single stogy homes. The setbacks can be enforced through CC&R's. 'fhe market for this price range is single professionals, retired people, who do not want to climb stairs, or empty-nesters who only have children visit occasionally. Dixie Hackstedde, of Windermere Van Vleet and Associates, Inc., stated there is a real need for small lots with a single family home on them.
