Under normal development policies, the extension of major infrastructure items must be completed to and through a proposed development at the time of final platting to serve tlhe ultimate,area. Given this policy, the extension of this sewer line would occur with the development of the "reserve for future development area" located at the northeastern part of the development. This same sewerline is in the process of being designed bg the Westfield Subdivision. In the event that the Westfield Subdivision does not come to fruition and since the location of the sewerline is in a reserved for future development area, .staff would recommend that this Alexandria development construct the sewerline with Phase Five if it has not been constructed by that time. Streets: Refer to item summary for discussion of proposed circulation. Additionally, all cul-de-sac streets should be "Court" streets rather than "Lanes". Other street names may need adjustment for emergency service. Off-site Easements: Not applicable.
