designation for the proposed subdivision is R-4 (Medium Low-Density Residential). The gross density of
the proposed subdivision is 0.6$ dwelling units per acre and the net density is 0.68 dwelling units per

submitted final plat substantially complies with the approved preliminary plat. The applicant had
submitted and received approval on a final plat for Sundial Subdivision on August 14, 2007. As part of a
condition of approval of the preliminary plat, ACHD required the applicant to construct a T-type
intersection; stubbing W. Whitelaw Drive into the second phase of the development rather than the cul-

into two phases, and has an application in process to vacate a portion of the existing right-of-way platted
along W. Whitelaw Drive with Turtle Creek Subdivision #2.
