Hidden Creek - Fairwyn

Brian Pollard gave a history of a preliminary duplex plan presented to the Committee last year. The plan was denied due to concerns about density and the close proximity of buildings. Mr. Pollard sought counsel from Mr. Weyhrauch and Staff regarding the development. The recommendation was to inquire as to what can be done by right without coming in for a variance and to present the outcome in a  Town Hall meeting (February 16, 2008) with the neighbors to discuss the options. Mr. Pollard presented three Condo type plans. Concept “C” was preferred by the people at the Town Hall Meeting which was a six – four unit plan, garage on first floor with 2 units above.  Mr. Pollard commented on the setbacks in regard to the creek and the roadways. Mr. Muchel added to the discussion explaining the placement of the buildings, roadways, and storm water system. Soil borings were conducted concluding that some of the units will have to be built on piles.   Mr. Muchel consulted with Jerry Mehring regarding water tables. The price range for the Condos will be $169,000 - $200,000.  

The Commission’s recommendation was to come in with Conceptual Plans for the Development.  Mr. Pollard will return in May or June with said plans.
