Charles Wilkins, Attorney and Resident spoke to the Board asking for this item to be tabled until next month when the ruling from the Judge will be completed. Andrew Shanks, Attorney for landowner spoke briefly to the Board and presented a conceptual site plan, this was also presented to the CCPC. The Planning Commission also approved the rezoning request, along with the Planning Office staff report. We have complied with what was requested by the Board at the previous meeting. The Preliminary Plat will come later. We will have 13 lots on the 16 acres; they will be 1-acre tracts. These tracts will contain 3500 sq foot homes and will comply with all architectural guidelines. The applicant requests for approval of what is before you today. The HOA Board has to wait on the Judge to say what portion of the convenances must be followed. This is a pre-curser, the staff has stated it fits the comprehensive plan, meets the zoning requirements, they are the same as the Foxbriar, we ask that you approve the Light Residential use. Stephens spoke about his involvement in 2011 Foxbriar mess, with roads not built in proper places, I fought for the protection of the residents. This was my main concern when this came before the Board last month. What has been presented today fits the area, it is a good fit in my opinion and meets our regulations. Moving forward the convenance will be determined by the Judge and that is not our decision. You have carried out your intent for the addition, I know there will be some changes when you start the process with the contour of the land. Wilkins addressed the Board again, and spoke briefly about the 2011 lawsuit that he was a part of. There was a lot of people that paid premium prices for a polo field that know will no longer be there. We ask that you wait until the Judge renders an opinion on the HOA language. Stephens stated what is approved here today does not override the Judge. There is no rush to dig up dirt today. It meets our requirements; it does fit the area. If the Judge rules in ten days and it changes what is done here today, they will have to come back before us. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Moore - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.
