Council hears first reading for 190 Sixth and East PUD as neighbor raises concerns about nearby planned development
Summary
The council received a first reading of the Hundred 90 Sixth and East PUD, a proposed industrial PUD with office and warehouse components, while a nearby landowner told the council he is concerned about the plan's proximity to his Morgan Woods lot and asked that an intervening parcel remain undisturbed.
Dane Crabtree of the Community Development Department presented the Hundred 90 Sixth and East Planned Unit Development for a first reading, describing an approximately 11.5-acre site at the southeast corner of 190 Sixth Street and East Street with an underlying enclosed industrial zoning, and illustrative space that included about 10,000 square feet of office and 70,000 square feet of warehouse use.
Jordan Cohen, a resident and property owner in the Morgan Woods subdivision, spoke during public comment and urged the council to consider the proximity of a planned national-tool headquarters to his half-acre lot. Cohen said he and his wife bought the parcel about a year ago intending to build a home and that the proposed development—“less than 200 yards away”—raised concerns about noise, truck traffic and congestion. He said the developer proposed a berm and 6- to 8-foot trees as mitigation and asked that the parcel of land between his lot and the development remain unchanged; he said he would prefer it to remain as open space or a nature preserve.
Councilors asked clarifying questions about which portion of the split parcel the PUD would cover; staff confirmed the PUD would apply only to the area outlined in yellow on the presentation map and that the neighboring vacant parcel would remain AGSF-1 (agriculture, single-family) under the current UDO.
Dane Crabtree confirmed the item will have a public hearing at the Plan Commission meeting on May 5 and a neighborhood meeting is scheduled for May 1 at 6:30 p.m. at Cary Ridge Elementary. The council took no final vote at the meeting; the item was presented as a first reading and referral to the Plan Commission.
