10      The applicant, Mr. Alan Taylor with Riverbe nd Development, presented their revisions to Council. Mr. Scott Collins, Civil Engineer, show ed where the project was revised to add 15 feet around the coal tower area. Mr. Fenwick asked how much the units would go for on average. The applicant said they anticipate they will go for $600,000-$800,000 on average, but they are just the developers and do not currently have home builders. Ms. Szakos said not much could be done about the sidewalk having no buffer from the road. She asked for a flashing crosswalk at the coal tower to facilitate pe destrian travel. Mr. Taylor said they would be happy to add this. She said she appreciated their attention to accessibility options in spite of the tricky topography. Ms. Smith asked how we know what will be built here. Staff explained the design guidelines that are part of the project. Ms. Smith asked about the intent behind the tradeoff between open space and density. Mr. Tolbert said the PUD meets the code. Many develo pments have historically done what this PUD is doing. The code does not require 15% open space to be all in one place. Ms. Smith asked if the open space is supposed to be useable. Mr. Tolbert said our code does not stipulate this. Ms. Smith said this is a lost opportunity to create open space in honor of a rare commodity. Mr. Huja said that is not the intent of open space. Mr. Taylor clarified that re garding the density exchange, they are only changing the lot width with the PUD. On motion by Ms. Szakos, seconded by Ms. Galvi n, the ordinance carried. Ms. Galvin said this is close to trails, connected, and walkable , and shows smart growth strategy, which is why she supports it. RESOLUTION: Financial Assistance Program - Stormwater Utility Fee Financial Assistance Program - Stormwater Utility Fee Mr. Brown presented to Council. This is in re sponse to a request from Council to evaluate offering financial assistance for the stormwater utility fee. This re solution embodies the discussion Councilors had in December. The bi ll has been passed on by the Senate Committee regarding church on non-pr ofit relief, so that is not a requirement. Ms. Szakos said CHAP requires no real estate tax relief and want s to make sure that we say "with the exception of #3", because they will have at that point re ceived relief from their taxes. Mr. Brown said this would not be a problem; a nyone can get relief from the stormwater and either CHAP or the Elderly and Disabled. He w ill add "for the elderly and disabled" to provide further clarification.
