Mr. Helbling stated the ownership of the project would be independent of the rest of Evergreen and would fall into the original conditions of the PUD(if not it would have to be re-zoned). The units would abide by the set-backs,septic and parking,there would be no garages or storage units on site. The units would be managed by Grand View,however,Mr.Helbling would be the owner. The units would be rented out weekly to tie in with golf packages provided by Grand View Lodge. Trees from on-site would be used for buffer and the project would have to fit in with the Sibley Township Ordinance. Storm water run-off would be addressed and impervious surface. The Board felt it would be best for the township if green space remained along the 371 corridor as per the residents of the township. A definition of transcient is needed. Dan would have his legal council look over the project,then present to the Planning Commission.
