Planned Unit Developments are large, multi-year projects which typically take a <br /> long time to complete. Limiting the time that final developments can be approved has no <br /> additional public benefit since all requirements of a PUD must be adhered to. Therefore,the Commission <br /> sees no need to impose a time limit. The proposed text amendment will also allow the addition of <br /> driveways or access points to be considered a minor modification that may be authorized by the <br /> Executive Director without a public hearing. <br /> The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above decision are <br /> shown in the minutes of the public hearing,and will be forwarded to you at a later date to be made a part of <br /> this report. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> UAn W.
