She noted that the details from the preliminary plat and final plat remain consistent. She identified the proposed project schedule and noted that all the major subdivision requirements have been met by the applicant. She provided details from the development review committee meeting, the traffic study, and comments from coordinating agencies. She identified elements within the proposed development that would meet goals identified in the Comprehensive Plan. She provided additional details on the rezoning request from R-1 to R-2 as well as the reduced front and rear yard setbacks. Commissioner Kwapick referenced the extension of Vanderbie Street and asked when that would begin. The Community Development Director replied that would be part of the first phase. Commissioner Kwapick stated that there was a potential for a second access when the northern portion of property is developed and asked if that is still part of the plan. The Community Development Director confirmed that is still part of the plan and provided additional details. Commissioner Kwapick asked if there have been any discussions about traffic management to encourage more northbound travel rather than placing that burden on roads within existing neighborhoods. The Community Development Director replied on the traffic calming measures that were added to the plans to encourage people to go north as that would become the easier and quicker method out. Acting Chair Johnson asked if there are any stops between CR D and Allen on Vanderbie. The Community Development Director commented that there would be three intersections between those points and was unsure whether those would be two way, or four way stops. Commissioner Kwapick left the meeting. Commissioner Quarles asked the speed limits on the roads in the development.
