Ms. Bailey presented the case. She explained the layout of the area and gave a brief history She
stated that the following are contingencies of approval that staff would like in the motion:
• "Montgomery Farms will provide a trail design that meets all geometric standards and
submit an easement for dedication along Rowlett Creek (from Suncreek Park to the
tributary along the eastern boundary of Bethany Mews). Trail easement dedication and
construction will be completed in conjunction with subdivision infrastructure, prior to
submission of the Final Plat, for staff review and approval."
• "Approval of the 50 -foot Utility Access Easement (UAE) for Claire Lane within the
Pecan Homes is contingent upon the owner demonstrating that all utilities are provided
with sufficient clearance for installation, maintenance and operation. The location of
private franchise utilities and their appurtenances (i e. switch gear, transformers,
pedestals, meters) will need to fit within the 50' UAE, or additional width will be
required. Final engineering plans shall account for these utility elements with the UAE
adjusted, or supplemental easements added, as necessary"
Commissioner Grimes asked if Claire Lane public access is adequate for a fire lane. Ms.
Bailey stated that it will be changed to a fire lane on the final plat. Commissioner Grimes
asked if the "slice of bread" homes will require an amended plat or just construction
approval, will that be a note on the plat. Ms. Bailey stated that they will require an amended
plat and will be a note on the final plat.
Commissioner Cocking stated that he is curious why lots 9-10 have curvy property lines
versus straight. Mrs. Monier from Emerson Partners stated it is related to the architectural
design of the homes.
Motion: Upon a motion by Commissioner Grimes and a second by Commissioner
Dreggors, the Commission voted 6 IN FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED, to approve
Agenda item 4 with the condition that the statements requested by staff be
added to the preliminary plat.
