➢ Modification to the existing development agreement approved with Reflection Ridge Subdivision to include
updated project information. (This application does not require Commission action)
History of Previous Actions:
• This property received annexation and zoning approval with an R-4 zoning district in 2006. A preliminary plat
(PP-05-048) was also approved for Reflection Ridge Subdivision consisting of 255 residential building lots and
29 common area lots. A CUP was approved for a planned development with reductions to lot size, lot frontage,
building setbacks, and exceeding the maximum block length allowed in residential districts. The preliminary plat
and CUP/PD approvals have expired; only the zoning of R-4 and development agreement remains in effect.
The applicant is proposing essentially the same preliminary plat as previously approved for Reflection Ridge in 2005.
However, some conditions affecting development of the site have changed, as follows:
➢ A 40-foot wide access easement exists along the west boundary of this site that was not accounted for with the
original preliminary plat. This easement benefits the land locked property to the southwest of this site that is
currently a gravel pit. As such, gravel trucks and other large trucks frequent this road. Additionally, the land use
designation of the adjacent property changed from medium density residential to mixed use — non-residential last
year, which allows a mix of uses with up to 50% of retail uses, office, food service/restaurants, industry, flex
buildings, storage facilities, or warehouse uses. For these reasons, staff recommends the building lots shown
along the west boundary be relocated and common area be placed in this area instead (see condition #1.2.3).
Further, staff recommends a 10-foot wide street buffer be constructed within the recommended common
area adjacent to the access road (see condition #1.2.13).
➢ The pathways plan in effect in 2005 did not require a pathway along the Farr Lateral. The Master Pathways Plan,
adopted in 2007, now requires a pathway connection between the future Ridenbaugh pathway along SH 69 and
Mary McPherson Elementary School to the south. Because of the topography of the land in this area, Staff
recommends the pathway be located on this site along the Farr Lateral as detailed in condition #1.2.10.
➢ Two of the blocks (Blocks 7 & 18) exceed the maximum block length required by the UDC. Previously, these lots
were allowed to exceed the maximum block length along with other reductions to dimensional standards in the R-
4 district through the planned development under the old City Code. Now, a variance is required, per the UDC.
Elevations: Yes (Approved with Reflection Ridge Sub. & included in the existing DA)
Written Testimony: A letter in response to the staff report was submitted by the applicant, Ashley Ford.
Outstanding Issue(s) for Commission: None
Note: The staff report has been revised to delete a DA provision (#1.4.4) requiring land to be designated for future
ROW along the west boundary of the site for construction of a public street — Staff is not requiring a public street
along the west boundary and this DA provision has been deleted from the staff report.
Staff Recommendation: Approval w/the conditions & DA provisions stated in the staff report.

Rezone of 91.09 acres from R-4 to R-8
Preliminary Plat consisting of 255 single-family residential building lots & 27 common area lots
Modification to the existing development agreement approved with Reflection Ridge Subdivision to include updated project
information. (This application does not require Commission action)
History of Previous Actions:
• This property received annexation and zoning approval with an R-4 zoning district in 2006. A preliminary plat (PP-05-048) was
also approved for Reflection Ridge Subdivision consisting of 255 residential building lots and 29 common area lots. A CUP

Updated Information Since the Last Commission Hearing on October 1sc:
Staff met with the applicant as requested by the Commission to work out the outstanding issues related to: 1) the 40' wide access
easement along the west boundary of the site; and 2) the pathway along the Farr Lateral providing a pedestrian connection from the
Ridenbaugh pathway planned along S. Meridian Road to Mary McPherson Elementary School.
The applicant submitted a revised plat in response to discussion at that meeting with the following changes:
A public street was added along the west boundary of the site where the existing 40' wide access easement is located. This
street will provide access to the property to the south as well as serve as another access to Cavanaugh Ridge from Meridian
Road once Harris Street (Rumpel Ln.) is extended & improved as a public street. (The access easement is required to be
vacated once the public street has been constructed.)
As a result, the configuration of lots & streets in the northwest portion of the plat have been revised to accommodate the
public street resulting in 3 additional building lots and 2 fewer common lots.
A 10' wide multi -use pathway has also been added within the common area proposed on the east side of the public street
along the west boundary to provide a connection to the Farr Lateral pathway along the southwest boundary of the site.
The stub street previously shown at the south boundary has been removed and replaced with common area containing a
pathway connecting to the pathway along the Farr Lateral, as recommended by staff.
The 10' wide multi -use pathway along the Ridenbaugh Canal at the northeast boundary has been adjusted to drop down
across Lot 1, block 3 and intersect with Locust Grove at Wrightwood Drive. The pathway then extends north along Locust
Grove and is required to cross the Ridenbaugh & connect to the detached sidewalk planned in Normandy Subdivision.
Elevations: Yes (Approved with Reflection Ridge Sub. & included in the existing DA)
Written Testimony: A letter in response to the staff report was submitted by the applicant, Ashley Ford.
Outstanding Issue(s) for Commission: None
Staff Recommendation: Approval w/the conditions & DA provisions stated in the staff report w/ one slight change: condition #1.4.2
requires a "barricade" to be installed at the end of Reflection Ridge Drive where it connects to the public street; the Fire Dept. would
prefer a gate with a knox box entry system in accord with IFC standards instead.
