Chairman Floyd stated that discussions have been held between the adjoining property owner, the
applicant, and the City. He instructed Staff to present to the Commission the areas concerning this
item that are still under discussion by the parties involved. Discussion will be limited to those areas of
concern only.
Assistant City Engineer Thompson stated that Staff recommends approval. He also stated that the plan
the Commissioners received earlier in the week in their information packets has been revised by the
applicant. He explained that the new plan shows that the lots along Cheyenne Trail do not take access
on Cheyenne Trail. The new plat shows that cul -de -sacs have been provided instead. Discussion
about the location of the arterial (Mesa Verde Drive) when it reaches Mr. Smith's property to the west
is still ongoing and can be worked out at the Preliminary Plat stage. He added that there is an access
easement that can be utilized for that arterial as well. Mr. Thompson also pointed out that eventually,
the arterial should make its way to Wellborn Road. The Thoroughfare Plan would need to be revisited
to show how the connection will be made. Additionally, Mr. Thompson stated that the applicant has
proposed to relocate Mesa Verde Drive in their discussions with Mr. Smith.
Chuck Ellison stated that he is asking the Commission's approval for the conceptual plan as it is
presented tonight. He stated that he would continue to work with Mr. Smith regarding the arterial and
it's connection with Arrington Road. Mr. Ellison stated that preliminary discussions have been held
with the County and that preliminary agreements have been reached with the landowners. It is a
solvable situation.
Chairman Floyd clarified that the alignment of Indian Lakes could move such that it moves directly
into the Smith property easement and Mesa Verde Drive turns into some form of a cul -de -sac giving
access to the general area.
