Development Review Manager Ruiz presented the Staff Report. Ms. Ruiz recommended approval of
the Final Plat with the condition that Staff has the ability to review the reserve fund proposal and have
the Director of Public Works approve it. The proposal, which is required by Ordinance because of the
private streets, has been received and is currently being reviewed. Ms. Ruiz stated that the applicant is
proposing to construct 22 additional homes. She added that the replat further subdivides three lots of
the Woodland Estates Subdivision. Ms. Ruiz also pointed out that a recent amendment to the
Subdivision Regulations further restricts density and minimum lot dimensions when platting within
older residential subdivisions. She stated that this criterion applies to all properties platted prior to
1970 as well as this plat and that the proposed subdivision is also in compliance with the Land Use
Plan. Additionally, Ms. Ruiz pointed out that at the previous public hearing before the Commission on
March 21, 2002, many surrounding property owners expressed concern regarding the location of the
private street, increased traffic to the area, and drainage. She explained that staff has worked closely
with the design engineer on the street location, hired an independent Traffic Impact Assessment, and
addressed the drainage issues by enlarging the storm water detention facility with an additional lot that
was removed from the approved preliminary plat for this purpose. Ms. Ruiz also stated that in her
opinion, the cul-de-sac requirements have also been met.
Chairman Floyd asked the applicant to clarify some statements. Switzer Deason, 2706 Pinehurst,
Bryan, stated that his efforts to acquire entry to Dominik or Westover were unsuccessful and remain as
