acres divided into 36 single family lots located southeast of Foxfire Phase II and north of
Woodcreek II along the extension ofStonybrook. (97-216)
City Planner Kee presented the staff report and stated that this plat contains lots that average .25 acres
each. All are zoned for single family use. This final plat continues implementation of the Woodcreek
Master Plan approved in the eighties. It does contain an important link in the City's thoroughfare
system, the connection of Stonebrook in Woodcreek to Foxfire in Foxfire. Staff has heard that there is
opposition to this connection from. the neighborhood. Stonebrook has been intended to serve as a
residential collector street since the inception of Woodcreek. It has been on the City's Thoroughfare
Plan since 1980. Current estimates: of traffic on Stonebrook is that it carries about 400 - 600 vehicles
per day. Foxfire Drive carries about 1200 vehicles per day. With the connection the volumes. on the
Foxfire end will probably go down somewhat while those on the Stonebrook end in Woodcreek will go
up slightly.
The connection will create a residential collector with volumes ranging from 1000 - 1500 vehicles per
day. The .connection will not cause "through" traffic. This traffic is residential traffic between
neighborhoods which will have either an origin or a destination in Woodcreek or Foxfire. There is not
commercial development on either end of this roadway which would bring traffic from another part of
town to this area.
Stonebrook and the residential lots adjacent to it have been designed and constructed correctly for it to
serve as a collector street for the neighborhood. Most, if not all, lots have either rear or side frontage to
Stonebrook. Few, if any, lots front on Stonebrook and few lots have driveways which take direct
access to Stonebrook. Stonebrook will remain a residential street with a 30 mph speed limit. A brick
fence is already in place which buffers many properties along a significant portion of the roadway.
Staff recommended approval of this plat with the condition that all "StaffNotes" are addressed.
Due to conflict of interest, Commissioner Rife excused himself from discussion of this topic. Mike
McClure, Engineer for this project was present in the audience to answer any questions of the
Commission.
Commissioner Garner moved to approve this final plat. Commissioner Massey seconded this motion
and it passed unanimously (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Consideration of a final plat for Holleman Arms Apartments totaling
20.9 acres divided into one commercial lot and one apartment lot located on the southwest corner
of Holleman and Wellborn, west of the railroad tracks. (97-219)

for development of amulti-family complex and a commercial lot. This final plat matches the master
preliminary reviewed and approved in June.
The master preliminary plat included an R-S zoned tract on the north side of Holleman with an M-1
strip across the Wellborn. Road frontage. This tract is to remain undeveloped. for the time being. The
- ' R-5 tract on the south side is under consideration for a .zone change to remove the M-1 strip and
