Comments from the edited report drafts had been incorporated into the final report. Mr. Kuchar <br /> explained that the report provided a starting point for the Town if they wished to pursue an RFP <br /> in order to identify a partner to develop the site. The report would outline and highlight the <br /> Town's wishes and desires for the development of the site. Mr. Kuchar added that there would <br /> still be plenty of time for public comment before a completed development proposal would be <br /> identified. <br /> Mr. Kuchar discussed the two concepts for the site that could be developed on two of the three <br /> parcels containing land west of Red Brook. <br /> In the first concept, Mr. Kuchar described the three apartment building layout. The apartment <br /> building scenario would contain 43 to 69 units, with 82 parking spaces on the parcel north of the <br /> proposed access road for development. The exact unit mix would be determined based on <br /> market analysis. Wastewater treatment would occur across the street on the parcel south of the <br /> access road. Advanced wastewater treatment and stormwater management were considered. <br /> Low impact development techniques or green infrastructure were recommended to treat the <br /> stormwater prior to discharge. A two story building and a three story building layout would <br /> result in 43 to 69 units with 1.2 to 1.9 parking spaces each. Mr. Kuchar reminded the Committee. <br /> not to focus too heavily on the numbers, as developers would identify what would work best for <br /> them. Mr. Kuchar also stated that their report maxed out the wastewater flow at 7,500 gpd for <br /> both layout concepts. <br /> Mr. Kuchar explained that if the Town wished to develop 69 units,the buildings would contain <br /> all one bedroom units. A mix of one, two and three bedroom units would result in approximately <br /> 43 units. Mr. Abbott inquired whether reducing the square footage of units would increase the <br /> number of bedrooms, but Mr. Kuchar responded that the wastewater flow limitation would not <br /> allow for the increase of bedrooms as that would impact wastewater flow. The Chair inquired <br /> further about reducing the size of the units and Mr. Kuchar stated that extra space could be set <br /> aside for common areas. There was discussion about parking and Mr. Kuchar noted that green <br /> space would be increased with a parking garage beneath the larger building in this concept, but <br /> that would be determined by the developer. Mr. Kuchar explained that the topography allowed <br /> for parking beneath the building. Mr. Johnson added that, in other areas, parking appeared to be <br /> far from some of the buildings. <br /> The second concept would consist of townhouses, laid out throughout both parcels. Parking <br /> would be interspersed. The townhouses could consist of seven buildings with 23 to 41 units and <br /> 51 parking spaces. There was discussion about using an up/down mix that would reflect a <br /> maximum of 41 units. Tables I 1 and 18 in the report would be corrected to include this design <br /> scenario. <br /> Chairman Isbitz raised a concern about the number of units the study shows are possible in both <br /> concepts, and noted that the perception more units would become available in the first concept <br /> depends upon the average number of bedrooms per unit the study assumes. Mr. Kuchar <br /> responded that, in the first concept, the number of units range from 69 to 43, depending upon the <br /> bedroom mix which assumes a large number of one bedroom apartments. The second concept <br /> 2 <br />
