approval is given. With no other discussion this project will proceed to final vote next
week.

project is represented by Kevin Kueck of Heritage Properties USA, LLC. Mr. Starrett read
the staff report and presented pictures and location maps of the site. Mr. Kitchen
reported that an email was received addressing the lack of a floor plan or buffering
drawing in the file. Mr. Starrett explained what the Code required regarding a sketch
plan not a floor plan, nor a buffering plan. Mr. Kueck was present to address questions
from the Planning Commission. He stated that he is waiting for approval before
proceeding with the requirements. Saundra Strange opposing the request discussed the
common wall. She presented a copy of the blue prints of the thickness of the wall,
which measures 10'. In her opinion for this reason this request should be denied. Steve
Lamberson also opposing the request discussed the incompatibility of a nightly rental
next to a residential property. Karen Murphy also opposed this request. She presented a
picture of the structure, and discussed parking, aesthetics, and approval under a
company name. Mr. Faubion discussed the homeowner's association rules requiring
parking in the garages. Mr. Cramer asked if the homeowners association had taken any
action to people parking in the garages. Susan Smith also a property owner opposing
this request reiterated what the others had said, and pointed out there are in her
opinion traffic problems, drug deals, and use of the community pool by renters, fitness
center, permanent residents selling out, and questionable people staying in the nightly
rentals. Mrs. Murphy stated that the homeowners association had discussed parking in
the garages. Mr. Kitchen asked Mr. Starrett about issuing approval to a property ow ner
or company. Mr. Starrett stated the Planning Commission decided to do this a while
back. Mr. Kueck explained that the sale of the property is contingent upon approval
from the Planning Commission. He also discussed buffering. With no other discussion
this project will proceed to final vote next week.

at Lot 40 Legends Lane. A six bedroom single family dwelling is proposed if approval is
given. Mr. Starrett read the staff report and presented pictures and location maps o f the
site. Austin Miller was present to represent the request and address questions from the
Planning Commission. Shelly Sanders who owns two lots in the area spoke in favor of
the request. She pointed out that when the development was approved it was for
nightly rentals as well as residential. She wanted to know if this permit had been
rescinded. Mr. Starrett gave the opinion of legal counsel. Ms. Sander's concern was that
she might not be able to do nightly rental in the houses she plans to build on her lots.
Joann Katz who lives in the subdivision expressed opinions opposing the request. Mr.
Starrett addressed the road question brought forth by Mrs. Katz. Mrs. Murphy discussed
the problems with the homeowners association. Neil Murphy pointed out that the
property owners do not want hotels in their neighborhood, and that in his opinion the
big houses are as big as a hotel. Paul Katz pointed out his house on the map and how
close these houses will be to him. He stated that there potentially could be 50 or 60
additional people in the neighborhood renting the houses at a time. Mr. Miller
addressed the comments. With no other comments this project will proceed to final
vote, next week.

Old and New Business;
Scott Hodges was present to complain about the approval of Granny's K9 kennel.

Discussion regarding moving to one Planning Commission meeting a month and
changing the bylaws to reflect this. Mr. Starrett pointed out to the Commission that
they can change their bylaws at any time they have six members present at a meeting.
Since there were only five members present the Commission decided to wait and
discuss this when there were more members present.

Mr. Caudill thanked Mr. Kitchen for running the meeting this evening.
