Item: Consideration of a Preliminary Plat for the Westfield Addition Phase 3
Subdivision (PP) located on Graham Road at the future extention of Victoria Avenue.
(0-236)
Applicant: Mr. Randy French
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the plat with the condition

Item Summary: The 15 plus acre development will consist of 55 residential lots (zoned

part of the City's Greenway's Program.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: Westfield Phase 3 complies with the City's
Land Use Plan by implementing single-family residential in the area. The two small
commercial lots, being at the intersection of two thoroughfares will serve the residential
area well. Sufficient parkland was dedicated in Westfield Phase 1 for compliance in
subsequent phases. The Developer will be dedicating the portion of Lick Creek on the
property to further the City's Greenways Program. Victoria will be continued through
Westfield in the same format as it is in Edelweiss to comply with the Thoroughfare Plan.

Preliminary Plat. This subdivision is presently zoned according to the plat layout. No
rezoning is expected. As to other development activity in the area, Westfield Phase 2

recently submitted a Master Development Plan. Westfield Phase 4+ is in the design
