The commission reviewed a request from Timbercrest Homes for a second amendment to the Three Lakes Estates Phase Two PUD conceptual plan. The proposal involves reconfiguring 16 lots along the future Sweetwater Drive to accommodate single-family dwelling units rather than semi-detached ones, and modifying building design standards. Discussion focused on the staff's recommendation to maintain existing design expectations regarding basements and architectural standards, while allowing flexibility in housing product types. The staff ultimately recommended approval of the amendment subject to conditions ensuring the new designs remain comparable in quality to the standards established in the original PUD plan.
