Mrs. Ruby explained the reasons behind the developers choices to voluntarily restrict specific lots to one story houses, and the development design with regards to the recreation and general community development. Golf Course Architect, Ken Kavenaugh, responded to the Board's questions regarding his recommendations for golf course setback requirements. Joe Piscouski, Oro Valley Resident, requested further detail regarding the builder's statement at the neighborhood meeting that "70% of the new homes will be single story". Mr. Piscouski is concerned the poles at the site are indicative of potential two story homes. Andy Anderson, Oro Valley Resident, asked if the builder would be willing to reduce the number of 2 story homes or is the plan to move two story homes to alternate locations in the development. Mr. Anderson is also opposed to the two story homes due to the obstruction of neighboring views. Joyce Shulte, Oro Valley Resident, expressed her concern with two story homes being built that block her view. Dr. De, Oro Valley Resident, is also concerned with having two story homes in the proposed area. His understanding was that no two story homes would be built there, which is why he and his neighbors were willing to pay higher lot fees when their homes were built. July 15, 2013 July 9, 2013 Conceptual Design Review Board Regular Session Page 3 of 5 Karen Haider, Oro Valley Resident, is also opposed to building two story homes. Mrs. Haider questioned the number of vehicles per home and the anticipated traffic concerns. Mrs. Haider also expressed concern with the emergency evacuation plans. Fred Haider, Oro Valley Resident, expressed his opposition to the proposed development. Mr. Haider suggested the project be flipped or mirrored in orientation. Marlene Skibbe, Oro Valley Resident, is also opposed to two story homes as she will lose her mountain view. Mrs. Skibbe indicated a potential danger at the 11th tee with flying golf balls breaking windows. John Landin, Oro Valley Resident, is also opposed to the two story homes being built in the area. Mr. Landin stated he is supportive of the neighbors who will back up against the golf course and their opposition to 2 story homes there. Bill Adler, Oro Valley Resident, requested more information on the Golf Course Overlay District. Mr. Adler suggested the setback requirement be increased not decreased due to how hard and far with current technology golfers are hitting the balls. Margaret Settz, Oro Valley Resident, suggested the builder implement a deed restriction throughout the development to insure everyone builds only one story homes in addition to protecting the builder's financial interests. Jennifer Ruby, Representative of Maracay Homes, explained the earlier statement "70% single and 30% two story houses" being built in this development. The statement was not a commitment by the builder, rather a historical reference to trends in the housing market. Mrs. Ruby also clarified the purpose of the poles: they were erected prior to the secondary site analysis, as a reference to the maximum height and are no longer accurate. The builder will continue to review one vs. two story size restrictions. Mrs. Ruby reassured the Board as well as the audience, that the builder has an obligation to disclose the location adjacent to a golf course. MOTION: A motion was made by Harold Linton, Member and seconded by Richard Eggerding, Member continue the case to a future date. MOTION carried, 4-2 with Kelly Huber, Member, and Nathan Basken, Member opposed.
