Mr. Fogarty has asked to meet with the <br />Commission on March 2& to present his development plans. <br />Department Directors with the City were asked to review Mr. Fogarty's prior submittal and provide <br />comments to the Planning Dept. to forward to the Commission. The comments received are as <br />follows: <br />• Consider relocating the 13-acre site reserved for multi -family development to either the <br />Wharton Weems Blvd. intersection or the McCabe Road intersection. As shown on the most <br />recent layout submitted by Mr. Fogarty, the area reserved for future multi -family development <br />is now located at the McCabe Road intersection which, in staffs opinion, is a good location for <br />multi -family development. <br />• Introduce some "pocket parks" into the development. Stephen Ban; Director of Parks & <br />Recreation has prepared information regarding this comment. His memo is attached. <br />• The landscape berm should be designed and constructed to be an effective buffer and screen <br />from the noise and other negative impacts associated with SH 146. <br />During Mr. Fogarty's presentation, the Commission is encouraged to have open dialogue with Mr. <br />Fogarty and share your thoughts about this proposed development. <br />P.
