Mr. Carson suggested that the revised plat seeks to add 20 single-family lots. He asked whether
the proposed setbacks are typical.
Mr. Jobeun explained that the Revised Preliminary Plat
proposes 348 lots, compared to 322 lots in the original Preliminary Plat. He suggested that this is
not a significant change. Ms. Romeo explained that the property will maintain R- 4 zoning,
therefore, the setbacks will be consistent with what was originally proposed. She added that the
smaller lots that are being proposed will slightly increase the density of the subdivision; however,
the overall density will still be consistent with low density residential.
Mr. Carson asked about the type of housing proposed on the smaller lots. Mr. Jobeun stated that
those lots are proposed for single-family residential. Mr. Carson expressed a need for more
affordable housing in the area. Mr. Jobeun noted that the smaller lots will likely have a $ 250, 000
plus price point. Ms. Romeo concurred that the valuation shown in the Source and Use of Funds
is approximately $ 260, 000, which is more affordable than the $ 400, 000 valuation that was
originally proposed.
Mr. Keller asked whether there would be a park and/ or trail system through this subdivision. Mr.
Jobeun confirmed that a park is proposed within Phase 1. Mr. Goff noted that there is a trail
proposed on the north side of Schram Road, and there would be sidewalk access to that trail from
this subdivision. Mr. Stursma stated that there will be trail along the west and south sides of this
subdivision.
Jason Thiellen, 10909 Mill Valley Road, Suite 100 ( Omaha), stepped forward to represent the
applicant. He noted that the proposed increase in lots promotes more affordable housing, and
that the homes on those lots will still be required to meet the setbacks of the base zoning district.
With no further discussion, Motion was made by Mr. Robinson III, seconded by Ms. Emswiler, to
recommend approval of the Revised Preliminary Plat for Belterra ( Phases 2 — 5) ( PP- 18- 0002R)
