LEGACY ACRES 22-LOT PRELIMINARY PLAT AND REZONES, 6506 STATE HIGHWAY 19: • R-1 TO SFR, 6488 STATE HIGHWAY 19, • A-3 TO SFR, 6506 STATE HIGHWAY 19, • B-1 TO EA PARCEL 0808-122-9500-8, AND • A-1(EX) TO EA PARCEL 0808-121-9050-41 Plans for the proposed road are prepared in compliance with DOT specs, going from a 3% incline from the highway to 6-10% grade up the hill. It will require the removal of a lot of existing trees that won’t be able to be regrown due to the rock. The cut for the road creates steep drop-offs in some of the lots’ backyards, creating safety concerns and suggestions of fencing or plantings to minimize accidents on the hillside. Aesthetics of the large expanse of exposed hill created by the removal of trees and the cut of the road were also noted, with terracing recommended if composition of the hill allows for greater depth. Visibility of the homes from the highway and their potential heights along the ridge were discussed with landscaping suggested to provide some camouflage. Officials would like Lot 4 to have a building site specified on the NW corner of the lot; the frontage for lots 18-20 will be restricted in the covenants to comply with Town zoning. Stormwater calculations are by design very preliminary at this point in the project; future maintenance and ownership of the proposed stormwater basins will be addressed in the deed covenants of the plat. Motion by Commissioner Barman, seconded by Commissioner Ballweg to close the public hearing and return to the regular meeting. Roll call vote: Ballweg AYE, Barman AYE, Endres AYE, Swann AYE, Weiland AYE, Wright AYE. Motion carried. 6.
