Steve Ach, with Centex Homes, has been working with Lennar regarding opportunities in the Glendalough neighborhood. He agreed that the housing elevations in the staff report meet the criteria and wanted to add more housing elevations. Mr. Ach provided additional elevations to the City Council that met the design standards. He also provided additional elevations for consideration. He explained how those elevations did not meet the design guidelines. Council Member Sterner questioned if all elevations had the front porch. Mr. Ach provided pictures of the elevations showing the different styles of porches. He wanted to provide a variety of elevations so homes would look different as you go down the street ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS MAY 20, 2008 Mayor Droste stated over two thirds of the project was built out and he was concerned about maintaining continuity in the development. He did not want the garages to be too predominant. Council Member Shoe Corrigan stated the homes should be compatible with the PUD for the neighborhood. She stated the garages were to be deemphasized and the houses should be close to the street. If garages were set back and the houses were moved forward that would be a different issue. Mr. Ach stated that the outer edges of the development could serve as a transition point to the next project. He stated it was important to have a variety of choices for the customers. Mayor Droste could potentially accept the elevations if limited to the development along the west side serving as a transition area. His biggest concern was the neighbors who already made investments in their property. Mr. Ach stated that a lot changed in the market over the years and customers look for the best situation. He would be willing to have a neighborhood meeting and go through the public hearing process. Council Member Shoe Corrigan stated that Lennar already received two minor amendments. She added that the City Council was flexible many times in the neighborhood. With only 75 lots remaining she wanted to preserve the intent of the PUD and would not vote for a major amendment. Mr. Ach pointed out that he did not work four months designing homes for the project. He stated the elevations were used in other cities. He was open to holding a public meeting but stated he would not proceed if the City Council gave him a flat no on the addition of the elevations. He was well aware of the processes Lennar went through in the past. Discussion continued about holding a neighborhood meeting and going through the Planning Commission process. The City Council directed Mr. Ach to hold the meeting and to obtain Planning Commission approval before they would consider the change in elevations. Motion by Shoe Corrigan. Second by DeBettignies.
