Item Summary: Westfield Addition Phase 2 has had several Preliminary Plats in the

buildable lots. Staff requested the property go through the Preliminary Plat stage once
again due to expiration of the previous preliminary plat and to ensure that the existing
conditions had not changed in the interim. This phase of Westfield will be constructed
in-between Phase 1 and Phase 3. Phase 1 has been completed for some time while
Phase 3 is currently finalizing construction of all infrastructure. Phase 2, Lots 44-34, will
take sewer from a line that was constructed in Phase 3 and provide waterline taps to
Lots 2-5 of Phase 3 across Meadow View Drive. Detention for this development has
been provided along the creek by way of an in-line outflow structure.
