Chairman Hayter declared the public hearing open on the petition of Darrell Coats for a Site Plan approval in a Planned Development - Housing District (PD -b) on the south 250 feet of Lots 18 -A and 19, City Block 249 located on the east side of S. Collegiate Drive, 160 feet north of Hubbard Street. Mr. Coats presented his Site Plan for a 39 unit apartment complex which had been redesigned to address the concerns of adjacent home owners abutting the property on the south and east. The revised Site Plan provides a green belt of 40 feet along most of the south property line and a 20 foot green belt along the east property line and the remainder of the south property line. He pointed out that the nearest apartment wall would be 62 feet from the south boundary line and 72 feet from the east boundary line. He plans a 6 foot high wooden fence along the south line to further screen his development from the single family homes. He went on to say that he had made every effort he could to satisfy their concerns and requested approval of the Site Plan. Gary Nash, 2825 Hubbard Drive spoke against any development of two story construction. Don McLaughlin, attorney representing approximately 20 persons in attendance, told the Commission that 2 story apartments would destroy the value of homes adjacent to it and that the Commission could control such things as height of buildings in a Planned Development Zoning District. He ask that the Site Plan be disapproved. Betty Vandever, 2720 Hubbard opposed the development fearing it would aggravate the already serious drainage problem around her home.
