via TEAMS.

Commissioner Collins asked for confirmation that this is the same waiver granted to the Millstone Estates development. Staff Planner DiMeolo confirmed that this is the same waiver granted to Millstone Estates.
Commissioner Shafer asked for the reasoning that streets in the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) are 100 feet in width. Staff Planner DiMeolo clarified that 100 feet in width is typical for rural cross-sections in
the ETJ, as streets are not a standard curb and gutter design.
Commissioner Shafer asked why rural streets are not the standard 77 feet in width. Director Armstrong clarified that street width is a blanket statement among all
thoroughfares. The 100-foot width for rural streets is common to meet needs and
capacity for growth. Commissioner Collins motioned to recommend approval of the waiver requests and preliminary plan as presented, Commissioner Cornelius seconded the motion, the
motion passed 7-0. The Commission recessed the meeting at 6:13 p.m.
