A. HISTORY OF THE SITE
Proposals relative to this property have been before

southwest corner of Bunch and Chicot Roads and north of
the C.R.I.&P. Railroad. The terrain is mostly flat and
tree covered. The tract is currently served by Bunch
Road on the north, Coulder Lake Road on the west,
Chicot on the east and Castle Valley on the southeast.

73.44 acres into 224 lots for single family use. Nine

ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS
1. Improve Castle Valley Road to residential street
standards.
2. Request internal drainage plan be suer it'Led z.o
City Engineer.
E. STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff is basically supportive of the plan, provided
that the plat is revised to adjust a few technical
requirements. They are:
1. Give some evidence of topography.
2. Clarify a point at which Bunch Road meshes with
section line (give radius).
3. Show Caulder Lake Road boundary.
4. Indicate lot numbers.
5. Provide the lot dimensions where needed.
6. Provide proper setbacks from Bunch Road.
7. Provide date on survey.
Because of previous rezonings on the site, it appears
that some parts may have to be downzoned to accommodate
the proposed use. The applicant should address this.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
(Additional Information - Staff reported that the downzoning
indicated in the Staff Analysis was no longer an issue.)
The applicant submitted a phasing plan which includes 40
lots in the initial development. The Commit_tpe decided to
pass this to the Commission without recommendation, subject
to a plan complying with seven technical requirements
brought out in the Staff Analysis.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:

reported that a revised sketch was submitted. Enq:.neer_ing

only where it abuts this property. A motion was made and
passed for approval, subject to Engineering comments. The
vote was 9 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent and 1 abstention (Massie
