Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 00SN0238 and stated
that staff had originally recommended denial because of
concerns expressed by the Board and the Planning Commission
relative to smaller lot development. He further stated
that, over the last year, staff has prepared a series of
design standards to be used for smaller cluster development
and that, since the applicant has not met all of these
design standards, staff maintains its recommendation of
denial. He further stated that the Planning Commission
recommends approval and acceptance of the proffered
conditions.
Ms. Gloria Freye, representing the applicant, stated that
the proposed development would allow for smaller lots for
senior housing, is age restrictive and would not have an
impact on area schools. She further stated that the
proposed development includes 2.7 acres of open space as
well as landscaping on the lots that would be owned and
maintained by the homeowners' association. She stated that
the lots would range in size from 7,000 12,000 square feet,
with an average of 9,000 square feet, and the minimum house
sizes would be 1,700 square feet for one story and 2,000
square feet for anything over one story. She further stated
that the applicant has proffered assurances for quality
through restrictive covenants, the establishment of an
Architectural Review Committee, paved driveways, sidewalks
and street trees. She further stated that, in addition to
the maximum cash proffers, the applicant has agreed to make
approximately $500,000 in capital improvements to the
roadways and utilities infrastructure. She further stated
that the Summerford Homeowners Association has indicated its
support of the proposed development and noted that other
area residents have expressed no opposition. She further
stated that the proposed development offers a unique
opportunity to meet the needs of the growing population of
55 and older in the County.
There was no opposition present.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to staff's
recommendation for denial.
Mr. Jacobson stated that, over the last few years, staff has
been modernizing the County's zoning ordinance and
attempting to develop a zoning district classification for
cluster types of developments in response to concerns
expressed by Planning Commissioners and Board members. He
further stated staff recommended denial because the
applicant did not proffer all of the design standards
developed by staff for cluster development.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that he feels the Planning
Commission has made a good recommendation. He further
stated that the proposed development is similar to the
Braxton community and includes some design features that are
not present in Braxton.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to staff's
recommendation for denial based on quality issues.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels staff is taking the right
approach by developing design standards for small lot

development.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she appreciates the proffers for
the internal park as well as the age restriction. She
further stated that the proposed development is unique and
will meet a need in the County for senior citizens.
Mrs. Humphrey then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Miller,
for the Board to approve Case 00SN0238 and accept the
following proffered conditions:
