PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS 5.01: Public Hearing: Review Resolution #20-028 Revised Preliminary Plat for Riverstone (Project #17-106, #19-149); Case of Capstone Homes, Inc. Public Hearing Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:03 p.m. Presentation Senior Planner McGuire Brigl presented the staff report stating that staff recommends adoption of Resolution #20-028 approving the Preliminary Plat with minor contingencies. Chairperson Bauer disclosed that he lives within the Capstone development. Citizen Input Heather Lorch, Capstone, stated that she is available to address any questions. Commissioner Johnson referenced the mention of a road that could possibly connect this development to the adjacent Northfork parcel Ms. Lorch replied that the City brought forward that request to consider the previous month. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that a few members of the City Council mentioned that it may be beneficial to have a road connecting the two properties but both developers were opposed to that suggestion. She noted that this point in the Capstone project the addition of a road would be a significant change. Chairperson Bauer noted that the Planning Commission suggested a path that would allow pedestrian connection between the two developments and asked if that is an option. Ms. Lorch confirmed that Capstone is willing to provide a sidewalk connection within the neighborhood that would connect at the utility extension location. She confirmed that there would be a trail along Alpine as well, as required in the conditions of Preliminary Plat. Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to close the public hearing. Planning Commission/ February 6, 2020 Page 2 of 18
