The property is approximately 74 acres in size. It is located in the Metropolitan Urban <br />Service Area and the development is proposed to be served by sanitary sewer and municipal <br />water. The current comprehensive plan and the draft comprehensive plan designate this area for <br />low density residential. The proposed net density of the plat is approximately 2.08 units per acre. <br />Sidewalks will be constructed on one side of all non cul-de-sac streets. Trail connections are <br />proposed to and through Bear Park to the east all the way to Roanoke Street, through the unamed <br />park lot to the north, and along the north side of Alpine Drive from Hwy. #47 to Roanoke Street. <br />Park dedication will consist of dedicating land for internal trails and expanding the park area at <br />Woodland Green and Bear Parks. The Park Commission is also recommending some capital <br />improvements (play equipment, paved parking, irrigation) to Bear and Woodland Green parks. <br />The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and reviewed the proposed preliminary <br />plat on July 12. A great deal of discussion took place regarding the traffic generation analysis. <br />The Planning Commission tabled any action on the preliminary plat and requested that the <br />developer meet with City Staff to develop some alternative street layout designs (and related <br />traffic numbers). The alternative street designs should look at ways to discourage the new traffic <br />from travelling through adjacent neighborhoods to reach collector and arterial streets. Staff met <br />with the developers and developed a street layout that will be referred to as Option A. In this <br />Option A, Waco Street will terminate in a cul-de-sac on 153rd to avoid people travelling south on <br />Waco, south of 153rd, to get to the signalized intersection at 149th.
