He introduced Jim Clarke of Robertson Bros. attending the meeting to address any questions the board might have. Trustee Yack stated the elevation depicts brick only partially covering the structures and the original PDD depicted full brick. Mr. Clarke explained the Arts and Crafts style does not call for full brick Mr. Goulet explained this is a new PDD not an amendment to the original PDD. Trustee Yack asked what type of siding material would be used. Mr. Clarke answered maintenance-free vinyl siding. This would include the wrapping the soffits and fascia, a complete maintenance free exterior. He also stated that most of the purchasers are much more concerned with the interior than the exterior. Trustee Williams asked the status of the discussion regarding the buffer and the tree removal. Mr. Clarke introduced Tim Loughrin of Robertson Bros. who has been involved in the discussions with residents regarding these matters. Mr. Loughrin explained they have created designs that allowed for more trees to be maintained for better screening between homes.

Mr. Goulet explained the new PDD is redesigning the housing, but would be using the existing structures of water, sewer, and storm as well as existing roads.

He stated these would be carriage style garage doors, not the standard panel style. Dave Galm resident at Manhattan Circle expressed disappointment the buffer is not being maintained as outlined in the original plan. The original tree survey is years old and he hopes more of the larger trees will be saved. If trees must be removed he would not like to see July 8,

The special land use was approved with several conditions, including completion and evaluation of an unpaved road capacity analysis and provision of a second point of access for Phase 1 as required in Section of the Condominium Ordinance. The lots generally range in size from 12,000 (R-3) to 14,000 (R-2) square feet, except for the larger cul-de-sac lots. The normal lot size would range from 12,750 (R-3) to 20,000 (R-2) square feet. The minimum lot widths are 90 feet wide. The plan has over 58 acres of open space, which allows preservation of the lower tributary of the Rouge and a large wooded area in the center of the property. A trail system is also provided which provides access through the open space areas. The landscaping plan includes large entry monuments and Toll Brothers is proposing a clubhouse with recreation amenities for its residents. The landscaping along Napier meets the roadway landscaping requirement, while the number of plantings along Ridge are double what is required. The applicants are requesting a variance from Sections (4) and (6)a. of the Condominium Ordinance relative to the maximum number of lots on a dead end road, maximum length of the dead end road, and the requirement for a second point of access to address the special land use condition. The applicants are proposing to construct a temporary 20 foot wide gravel road from the south boundary of Phase 1 at the drain crossing across the future road alignment to Napier Road instead of constructing a permanent road to Napier with Phase 1. The gravel road would be reconstructed as a permanent road with the second phase. The property owner is proposing to grant a 60 foot access easement across this future road alignment to ensure that required access can be maintained and the road can be built if the future phases are not built. Toll Brothers is proposing that up to 30 homes in Phase 1 be completed prior to commencement of construction of the permanent road connection to Napier and that upon provision of financial securities to ensure completion of the road, the number of certificates of occupancy be increased to 60. Wade Trim Associates conducted a peer review of the traffic impacts of the project. Based on Wade Trim's review of the unpaved road analysis and the preliminary traffic impact analysis for the project, Napier Road will not require paving if certain improvements are made to Ridge Road

21 and the Ridge and Ford Intersection. This will be addressed in more detail during engineering plan review and a final determination on required improvements will be made prior to consideration of the final site plan approval. BACKGROUND: - Existing Zoning: R-2 and R-3, Single-Family Residential - Location: South of Ford Road between Ridge and Napier Roads - Net Acres: acres - Existing Land Use: Agricultural - Surrounding Land Use & Zoning: N- R-2 and RA, proposed Parkside Estates and Crimboli Nursery S and E- Cherry Hill Village Overlay District and RA- Cherry Hill Village and Knollwood Cemetery W- RA, Vacant and Frontage Residential on Napier Road - Comprehensive Plan: Low and Medium-Low Density Residential (2-3 dwelling units/acre) ACTION REQUESTED: Recommend approval of Preliminary Site Plan and Variance to Sections (4) and (6)a. of the Condominium Ordinance for Legacy Estates of Canton Site Condominium. COMMUNITY PLANNER'S RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the variance subject to executing and recording the road easement agreement and providing for financial assurances to the Township for construction of the permanent road with Phase 1 after the issuance of 30 certificates of compliance; and, approval of the preliminary site plan for Legacy Estates of Canton Site Condominium subject to completion of appropriate improvements on Ridge Road pursuant to the traffic analysis, which will negate the need to pave Napier Road, and replacement of Pin Oak with another street tree species due to Canton's soil conditions. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the Variance to the Condominium Ordinance from Sections (4) and (6) of the Condominium Ordinance allowing for use of a temporary 20 foot wide gravel road across the future road alignment to Napier Road subject to Toll Brothers obtaining the road easement agreement from West Canton Properties IV, Inc., that a maximum of 30 certificates of occupancy will be permitted in Phase 1 prior to commencement of construction of the permanent road connection to Napier and that upon provision of financial securities to ensure completion of the road, the number of certificates of occupancy be increased to 60 within Phase 1; and, to approve the preliminary site plan for Legacy Estates of Canton Site Condominium on parcel nos and , subject to correction of the plans as noted in the Development Review Committee report dated June 26, 2014 prior to transmittal to the Township Board, approval of the requested variance to the Condominium Ordinance by the Township Board with the conditions as stated and, completion of the traffic analysis to determine impacts on Napier Road.

Public Works staff processes approximately 13,000 requests per year, and new regulations that went into effect in April 2014 require a positive response to each request. This new processing system automatically generates work orders for requests and operates within our GIS and Cityworks systems. This request for extra funding will cover the purchase and implementation of Dig-Smart Field, which allows staff to respond to MISSDIG requests while in the field (via smart phone). This feature is very important when responding to emergency requests which require a response in 3 hours. The total cost for implementation of the Dig-Smart software (including Dig-Smart Field) and installation was $24,800 versus the original Board approved amount of $22,000. In June 2014, Public Works submitted a grant request to our insurance provider, MMRMA, for half of the cost. This grant was awarded, and following payment to Dig-Smart, a reimbursement will be issued by MMRMA for an amount of $12,400. STRATEGIC PLAN/GOALS: Provide positive response to MISSDIG requests and ensure the viability of our public infrastructure. ACTION REQUESTED: Approve the additional expense of $2,800 for the Dig-Smart Field application. BUDGET IMPLICATIONS & ACCOUNT NUMBER: Funds for this project will come from account number _0010. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN: Upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the Public Works Division will amend the purchase order for the extra. DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Approval FINANCE AND BUDGET DIRECTOR S RECOMMENDATION: Approval SUPERVISOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Approval MODEL RESOLUTION: I move to approve the purchase order increase in the amount of $2,800 for the Dig-Smart Field application.
