Commission approves townhouse‑width reduction for approved PUD in Hidden Lake area
Summary
The commission approved a PUD amendment (Case 250508ZP) to reduce the minimum width for townhouse units from 25 feet to 20 feet within an existing, approved Planned Unit Development; staff said the change does not affect buffers, density or public interest.
The Marion County Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of an amendment to an existing Planned Unit Development (Case 250508ZP) to reduce the minimum townhouse unit width from 25 feet to 20 feet.
Staff analyst Chris Rising told the commission the change is limited to the townhouse unit width and does not alter the approved project’s density, buffers, access points or overall master plan. The PUD already had approvals and statutory extensions; Rising said the proposal "complies with the site's future land use designations" and will be served by county utilities. The approved master plan provides an estimated amenity area of roughly 2.6 acres including a clubhouse and pool.
Applicant David Tillman, representing the developer, said the narrower unit is a standard product the buyers intend to build and that the amendment would not increase unit count or change buffering. "All we're simply asking is... build a 20‑foot wide condo instead of a 25‑foot wide condo," Tillman said.
A resident who backs to the area raised concerns about wildlife and tree removal; others expressed traffic worries. The commission moved, seconded and approved the amendment; one commissioner recorded a “no” on the final motion but the measure carried.
