COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
ANALYSIS: The 2005 Future Land Use Plan designation for the property is Medium Density
Residential. A significant area along the eastern edge of the property,
specifically along the drainage creek has been identified in the Environmental
Resource Protection Map as a priority area for preservation. The proposed
development preserves this area as common open space with natural trails as
pedestrian amenities.
2005 Future Land Use Plan Designation Environmental Resource Protection Map
PATHWAYS
MASTER PLAN: The Pathways Master Plan identifies a sidewalk (<8’ wide) along North Kimball
Avenue. In addition, a multi-use trail has been identified to connect to the
Corps of Engineers’ property to the north east of the site (#66 on the map
below). The proposed development has identified a natural trail connection to
this future trail.
2005 Master Pathways Plan
WATER & SEWER: There is an existing 12” water line and a 12” sanitary sewer in Kimball Avenue
that will serve this development.

DRAINAGE ANALYSIS: Drainage from this site is generally to the east to an existing creek along the
back of the subdivision. The applicant is proposing to make improvements
to the creek to improve drainage in the area. Staff recommends minimizing
the impact on the existing natural drainage creek through the use of best
management practices.
TREE PRESERVATION: The property has a significant number of high quality trees along the drainage
creek and around the pond. The associated tree conservation plan was
submitted and approved in conjunction with the zoning change and
development plan and is included in this report.
The vegetation around the existing pond, along the creek and on the east side of
the creek is very dense. To be used as a park the vegetation within these areas
will need to be selectively thinned and maintained. These areas are currently
almost inaccessible.
P&Z ACTION: March 8, 2007; Approved (6-0) subject to Preliminary Plat Review Summary
No. 3, dated March 2, 2007.
STAFF COMMENTS: Attached is Preliminary Plat Review Summary No. 3, dated March 2, 2007.
The proposed preliminary plat is consistent with the approved development
plan.
