Prior to the applicant presentation for South Main phase 2, Commissioner Schultz-Writsel disclosed that she was a part of the South Main HOA meeting regarding the Major Subdivision. JJ Kinsfather, project Manager for South Main presented as the applicant for a Major Subdivision for phase 2 of the South Main PUD. This was a public hearing to recommend to the Board of Trustees the Commission’s approval of a preliminary and final plat. Doering presented the staff report for South Main phase 2. Phase 2 of the South Main PUD includes 20 buildable Lots, 2 Tracts and 7 Outlots. Outlots are not to be developed until they are further subdivided per the Buena Vista Municipal Code. Tracts are being created to allow for the development of drainage facilities and the common parking lot for the South Main PUD. There would be 7 rights-of-way to be dedicated with the plat. This includes 3 alleys, a portion of Pine Street, a partial extension of South Main Street, Surf Street, and a public sidewalk. Additionally, there would be the paving of River Park Road and the reconfiguration of the existing Ramsour Road to remove its connection to Arizona Street by connecting it to River Park Road. Staff recommended that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the South Main – Phase No. 2 Preliminary Plat and Final Plat based on the finding that the plat complies with the Buena Vista Unified Development Code with the 15 conditions outlined in the staff report. The Commission requested that the modifications be made to the following conditions of approval: • Condition #6 – modified to read “Prior to the issuance of building permits to the 10 lots within blocks 4, 7, and 9…”. • Condition #8 – “River Park Road shall be constructed and the Ramsour Rd gravel surface shall be disconnected from Arizona Street and reconfigured to connect the pavement for River Park Road as identified in the approved construction plans by June 30, 2022.” • Condition #14 - modified to read “…native grasses seeded and established” instead of being simply “restored”. • Condition #15 - Commissioner Doumas motioned to recommend the approval of the preliminary and final plats to the Board of Trustees with the amendments to conditions 6, 8, and 14 as presented in the PowerPoint and the addition 15 to the staff report with the proposed edits. Motion #4 seconded by Commissioner Schultz-Writsel. Motion unanimously approved. STAFF / COMMISSION INTERACTION Doering said there will be a Resolution to go to the Board of Trustees to appoint Commissioner LaGreca as a regular voting member following the resignation of Commissioner Banks. Commissioner Brown would be reappointed for a period of 3 years. There will be a joint session between the Buena Vista Planning and Zoning Commission and the Chaffee County Planning Commission on Wednesday February 16, 2022 to discuss the Areas of Desired Growth. Commissioner Doumas must recuse himself due to his position on the County Planning Commission. This meeting will begin at 6:00 pm instead of the recently approved 7:00 pm start time for 2022.
