He added that the waivers sought by the developer with the PUD overlay include waivers related to garage size, building height, and the community street requirements. Ms. Sotak asked whether there would be a traffic signal at the intersection of S 96th Street and Osprey Lane.

Patrick Sullivan, 1246 Golden Gate Drive, Suite 1, stated that the average home price would be approximately $ 360, 000. He added the proposed Source and Use of Funds contemplates a single-family residential development, and that the Subdivision Agreement will be tailored for single-family development. He suggested that substantial changes would need to be made to the Subdivision Agreement and be approved by City Council for the proposed lots to be developed as multiple-family residential uses. Mr. Stursma explained that many of the new single-family residential developments in Papillion have utilized R- 4 zoning. He explained that R- 4 zoning is attractive for single-family residential developments because the setback and impervious coverage requirements allow for slightly larger buildable area than other residential zones. He noted that the lots that would be created with this plat would not accommodate multiple-family uses; therefore, a public process would be required to convert the lots to multi- family uses. Mr. Carson asked whether the applicant was confident that he could address the contingencies within the Planning Commission Staff Report. Mr. Sullivan answered in the affirmative. Mr. Thompson asked the applicant to address the concerns about drainage issues at the site. Mr. Sullivan noted that Mr. Santoriello' s concerns are encompassed on property that is being sold to the NRD for the WP- 6 dam site.
