Staff met with the developers and developed a street layout that will be referred to as Option A. In this Option A, Waco Street will terminate in a cul-de-sac on 153rd to avoid people travelling south on Waco, south of 153rd, to get to the signalized intersection at 149th. The two southwesterly cul- de-sacs were connected as a through street to provide a main street spine through the neighborhood and replace the access lost on 153rd by the cul-de-sacing of Waco. A 90 de~ee intersection was created to connect 155th Lane to the main spine of the development rather than having the main spine funnel directly into 155th and the neighborhood to the west. Yakima, Waco and Ute would be constructed as through streets. Option B is the same as Option A except that Ute would not be constructed as a through street. Option C will be the preliminary plat reviewed on July 12 which includes Yakima, Waco and Ute Street as a through streets. Option D will be the preliminary plat reviewed on July 12 without Ute Street as a through street. Options B and D will not increase traffic on either of the remaining street connections. As for grade and drainage issues, the developer will eliminate the back yard catch basin in the . vicinity of Lot 4, Block 2~ Stanhope Terrace to remedy, the concern with differences in grade elevations. The high point at 155th Lane and Yakima is going to be moved to the juncture of the new 155th and the existing 155th so water flows into the development rather than out. Recommendation: City Staff recommends preliminary plat approval of Option A. Commission Action: Motion to recommend that City Council approve the preliminary plat for Centex Addition, Option A, contingent upon the developer supplying all required preliminary plat data to the satisfaction of the City prior to submission to City Council.
