PlanningBoard | 2017-11-13 | 6 | Board Member Curtis said that he could support that compromise which would allow approximately 17 units per acre for the Housing Authority, 20 units per acre with a density bonus. Board Member Sullivan said she is concerned that limiting the Carmel property to 146 units would be unfairly limiting them given their older housing stock and what other properties in the city are doing. Mr. Pasquali said he is not in a position to support or reject any positions relating to a cap, but that their business plan is for 146 units. Board Member Köster said he preferred Board Member Knox White's approach to the cap, giving the flexibility for a future Planning Board and Council to go above the cap. Board Member Knox White made a motion to recommend that the City Council remove the G overlay, maintain the cap for the entire project but allow the cap to be raised to the full amount allowed by the zoning with a conditional use permit, and that the lifting of the G overlay be conditioned to a signing of an MOU relating to infrastructure requirements between the various property owners. Board Member Köster seconded the motion. Board Member Curtis asked the developer if the questions regarding their obligations towards utilities have been resolved. Mr. Pasquali said they have done a lot of work with staff on the issue. He said the most important issue for them is defining what the obligations for backbone infrastructure are. He said that he thinks they will get there. Board Member Teague asked how the maker of the motion would distribute the cap between the different properties. Board Member Knox White said that he would apply the cap evenly per acre. Board Member Curtis said we should let the developer work out the infrastructure issues with the staff and not complicating things with additional requirements. He said the issues are the removal of the cap and the G overlay. Board Member Teague asked if the Housing Authority would be able to bid projects with extra density under the proposed conditional use method in the motion. Staff Member Thomas said that he envisions the process for the use permit to be done concurrently with a site plan application. He said the cap would be lifted, but that anything over 15 units per acre would require an additional level of review.
