CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />Topic Report: Cluster Subdivision Design Issues <br /> <br />By: Patrick Trudgeon, AICP, Community Development Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Last spring, the City received 4 sketch plans for cluster subdivisions proposed for north of Trott <br />Brook. In September, the Council reviewed all of the sketch plans and gave the. ir comments. Two <br />cluster subdivisions, Shadetree Creek and Wild Oaks need to have further discussion prior to going <br />to preliminary plat. <br /> <br />Shadetree Creek <br />This sketch plan proposes 16 single-family lots on Erkium Street and 177~ Avenue. The Council <br />expressed a desire to have the lots clustered to the north of the property instead of along the east <br />property line as the Developer is showing. A possibility was raised that 177a Ave. could extended <br />into the property that would allow for better circulation for the area. In looking into the matter, Staff <br />has discovered that no additional right-of-way for 177~ Ave. was required as part Echo Ridge 2nd <br />Addition. Theretbre, 177th Ave. will need to be extended about a quarter of a mile to reach the <br />development property. Staff and the Developer would like to discuss this situation with the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />Wild Oaks ofRam, sey <br />This sketch plan proposes 14 single-family lots on 173~d Avenue, east of Armstrong Blvd. The site <br />has an extensive amount of wetlands and also has limited street connection options. Consensus of <br />the City Council was that the proposed cul-de-sac is too long as presented and that the Developer <br />should talk to the landowner to the west about working together to create a road connection. The <br />Developer has requested to discuss the layout once again with the City Council. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br /> <br />City Council Work Session Minutes dated September 20, 2005 <br />Site Location Maps <br />Sketch Plans (11 " x 17" copy will be distributed at the meeting) <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />Staff is requesting that the CiO: Council review the two sketch plans and offer comments to the <br />Developers on their proposais. <br /> <br />CCWS: 12.05.05 <br /> <br /> <br />
