Plan commission approves Meadowview condominium special use and condominium plat

The Plan Commission recommended approval Oct. 9 of a special-use resolution and a condominium plat for a proposed 36-unit multifamily condominium development at 11590 West Meadowview Drive.

What passed: After a brief public hearing — a nearby homeowner spoke about proximity and possible property value impacts — the commission voted to recommend the draft resolution imposing conditions and restrictions on the special use. The commission also voted to approve the condominium plat conditioned on the matters enumerated in the draft resolution.

Staff summary and conditions: Staff advised the commission that the development had submitted materials under the prior UDO and that remaining woodland on the site must be placed into a conservation easement, deed-restriction language in declarations and covenants must be reviewed by the city attorney, and recording of condominium documents will be required. The commission approved the special-use findings subject to the standard conditions and directed the applicant to coordinate final recorded documents with the city attorney’s office.

Applicant presentation: Dan Schopp of Fair Development told the commission the project is planned as 18 side-by-side duplex structures, and that each unit would likely sell in the mid-$400,000 range once built. He said architectural and engineering details will follow site-plan and building-permit submissions.

"We feel like we're not going to devalue the property. The property is currently zoned R-8 multifamily. It's planned for development," said Dan Schopp, the applicant.

What happens next: Final condominium documents (declaration and plat) must be recorded and the developer must complete required conservation-easement language and other conditions before final plat recording and permits for vertical construction.
