terminus of Traprock Street to the south as well as a pedestrian trail connection. Both of these improvements would require the conveyance of an easement to the City. A number of the residents of Traprock Commons did comment during the Public Hearing and preceding Open House that they remained opposed to a roadway connection, but would support a hydrant and trail connection. According to previous traffic studies, the proposed plat can operate at an acceptable level without this connection. Please note that the trail easement and hydrant connection are not included in this first phase, and thus are not reflected in the current construction plans. These items will, however, be included in the Development Agreement to be constructed with future phases. Civil Engineering Plans (grading, drainage, utility, erosion control) are generally acceptable with revisions as outlined in the Staff Review Letter. Landscape and Tree Inventory Plans are also generally acceptable with revisions as outlined in the Staff Review Letter. Please note that wetland buffers are notbeing required as part of this request. The original plans for Sweetbay Ridge did include voluntary buffers. Any reference to wetland buffers is a carry-over from the original Sweetbay Ridge plans and will be removed on the final plans. Based on the Public Hearing, the need for some sort of density transitioning is important to the surrounding residents. In lieu of the originally proposed Conservation Easement, the Developer has proposed an easement to be administered by the Home Owners' Association that will protect from large-scale tree removal and serve as an appropriate buffer. Funding Source: All costs associated with processing the request are the responsibility of the Applicant.

Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #14-09-192 granting Final Plat Approval of Country Club Hills, contingent upon revisions as outlined in the Staff Review Letter dated September 4, 2014 and the following: 1.
