McCollum gave the staff presentation, pointing out the changes: the removal of 197 acres of the Four-T Ranch property and 97 acres of the Yearwood property, and showing the proposed Parmer Lane extension. Also the applicants are proposing a hundred foot (100’) landscape buffer against Sun City Boulevard to hook up with the proposed Parmer Lane so it would limit the number of streets connecting up with the Sun City Boulevard. The land uses have stayed the same, as well as the number of residences, and these acres are part of Sun City Georgetown. McCollum discussed the two variances requested by applicant. Kirby confirmed that the concept plan was for an age-restricted community. Aadnesen confirmed that there would be no financial impact to the City for these changes. McCollum confirmed that there were no comments from surrounding property owners. Todd Jansen, with Del Webb, 5353 Williams Drive, introduced himself, Gary Newman, Regional Manager, Philip Smanton, Del Webb legal council, and Peter Verdiccio, Planner, and was present for any questions.
