MEMORANDUM January 6, 1982
TO: Planning & Zoning Commission
RE: Comments For Public Hearing - Wood Ponds Open Space Subdivision Phase II
1) The k, e t p should indicate the total number of lots in the entire
subdivision.
2) The plot plan should identify the markers and monuments to be set per
Sec. 3.2.a.(2)h of the Subdivision Regulations.
3) Sheets 4 and 5, which constitute the topographic map, should indeed be
labeled "Topographic Map".
4) A conservation plan appeared to be absent from the application sub-
mission.
5) Note #6 on sheet 8 indicates the cul-de-sac is "not to be constructed
at this time". When is it to be constructed, if not now? I suggest a
bond be required now to ensure completion of thp. cul-de-sac, in the
event Woo Fon'T�o'a�c—is not extended to Abbe Road at a later date.
6) Lot dimensional requirements appear in order.
7) Lots 10 and 12 will require filling. Will they be suitable for building
development purposes given their elevation and proximity to the detention
basin?
8) If you find problems with lots 9-12, I am not averse to approving only
eight lots in this phase (1-5, 30-32), particularly in regard to my
concerns in item 9 below.
9) Open Space - For the entire subdivision, a total of 2211.,7 acres of open
space land is required under the zoning and subdivision regulations.
To date, the applicants have identified 12,.57 acres of open space, which
under our formula, qualifies for only 16 72 acres. I understand we are
holding in escrow t e ee s or is land.
To put this in historical perspective, Phase I was originally approved in
1977. Had the approval taken effect, and it did not due to the applicant's
failure to file the maps, the full 19.57 acres may have qualified as open
space, for a deficiency of approximately two acres. The application was
f resubmitted in 1979, after the effective date of the current subdivision
amendment Section 2.3c, which counts only one-half of the area of detention
i basins. Therefore, as applied to the entire subdivision proposal, the
subdivision was still deficient, but this time by 4.98 acres. This
j deficiency remains with this latest application.
i
MEMJRANDUM
Planning & Zoning Commission
January 6, 1982
Moreover, item 20 in the body of the 1979 approval letter observed the
deficiency by stating that the Commission may require additional open
space land.
As this pertains to the entire subdivision proposal, the applicant has
five options to resolve this problem: a) acquire additional land, b)
secure a zone change to lower the open space requirement, c) secure a
variance, d eliminate lots in future hases or, e) pull a rabbit out
of a at. I have conferre wit the applicants on these options..
As this pertains to the Phase II application, I am not averse to the granting
of approval for between 8 and 12 lots now (twelve have been requested). The
reason is that the lots in subsequent phases contain s, which
x eds the open space deficiencV
it any approval, however, the
at no further
applicant should be forewarne thrther lots can be approved until
the open space requirements are met.
And finally, the open space calculati ns should be shown on the plot plan.

Dear John: `a „
Re: 50 Acres, Ltd. - Wood Ponds Subdivision
I understand Wayne Gerlt appointed you acting Town Attorney for
anything concerning the above matter. Q
This applicant is now seeking approval for, 12 lots in Phase II. The
Town Attorney is holding in escrow a deed for approximately 19 acres
of open space land, which is adequate for Phase I and Phase II.
However, when the applicant comes in for approval of Phase III, according
to our current regulations there will not be sufficient open space.
A question was r y raised b one of the Commissioners as to whether or not
it is proper to approve Phase II, knowing that there will not be
sufficient open space for the third phase, and it was suggested that
a legal opinion be obtained.
v�
I'm enclosing a copy of the Minutes of the public hearing and also
a copy of the memo from the Planning Director, which outline the problem.
This matter will probably be decided at a work session within the next
few weeks, and we would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible.
Yours very truly, `
