Quin Thompson, Current Planner, read the staff report. Ferdie Fourie, Applicant, discussed original submittal requesting RMF -12 zoning for the entire area, and conversation with staff that led to the current request. Aubrey Shepherd, Fayetteville Citizen, asked if an area of existing trees were included in the request. Thompson replied that the area containing the trees is not affected by the rezone request. Tracy Hoskins, Planning Commissioner, asked for clarification of affected acreage and expressed concern for the increase in maximum allowable density that this request would allow in an area which had been previously limited by a Bill of Assurance to very low maximum density. Thompson agreed that the request represented a large increase in allowable density. Hoskins asked the applicant how the increase in density would be handled in terms of access. Fourie discussed connections to existing streets as required by the Bill of Assurance. Brian Moore, property owner, noted that access would be possible because the property under contract for development is approximately 20 acres, of which the rezone request comprises just 7 acres. Hoskins asked staff to outline discussion that led to the Bill of Assurance. Thompson responded that staff was not able to say, as the Bill was from 2006, and any conversations which led the owner to offer the Bill were not contained within the minutes of any public meetings in which the earlier re -zone had been discussed. Andrew Garner, Senior Planner, stated that such Bills were not typically discussed in the context of a public hearing, and that it wasn't unusual not to have record of those conversations. Motion: Commissioner Winston made a motion to forward RZN 13-4384. Commissioner Chesser seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 6-2-0, with Commissioners Hoskins and Bunch voting no. Planning Commission June 10, 2013 Page 9 of 9 There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 610 PM.
