City Attorney Askins presented a report on Brookglen, Section III. Kay Homes has requested a reduction in lot size from 60 feet to 40 feet, which would necessitate a revision to the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance. This in turn would open up the field for other developers to reduce lot sizes. An alternative would be for Kay Homes to develop -a Planned Unit Development (PUD) on their property. Kay Homes president Jim Sullivan was present and intro- duced Tom Northrup, who is a land planner and traffic con- sultant. Mr. Northrup spoke about-PUDs in general and ex- plained what a Planned Unit Development is and the standards for same. After comments from the City Attorney, comments from Mr. Sullivan, and questions and comments from Council, it was recommended that Council refer the matter back to Planning and Zoning for a recommendation. Council will have final jurisdiction in the matter. 22. Administrative Reports City Manager Owen reported that workshop on July 27 will start at 6:00 P.M. and will be a lengthy one.
