Principal Planner Trudgeon stated Eighty-Seven LLC is proposing to subdivide land on the southwest corner of State Hwy. 47 and Alpine Dr. into 42 townhome units. The proposed plat of Alpine Meadows is proposing to have a temporary cul-de-sac approximately 850 feet in length. City Ordinances limit the len~h of a cul-de-sac to 600 feet. City Ordinances also require that the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provisions for the continuation of ex/sting and future streets into adjoining areas. As part of the plat, the applicant is showing the public right-of-way extending to the southern boundary. City staff strongly desires to way extend to the south property line in order to accommodate future to streets to the south. While there is no guarantee when the land redeveloped, the City should be prepared for the possibility if and Planning Commission has previously reviewed the options re to the south and has determined that providing a constructed property strongly supports City goals. In addition, staff feel: intent of City Ordinances that require roads constructed in to future streets on adjoining parcels without exceedin unique shape and location.

He said the reason the rest of the Board Members have been voting for the 25-foot setback is that is the setback proposed for the new Ordinance.
