Location, size of property and existing zoning: This site is located at 4275 S. Locust Grove Road, east of S. Meridian Road and
south of E. Victory Road. The property consists of 91.09 acres and is currently zoned R-4.
Application:
- 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
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.
Updated Information Since the Last Commission Hearing on October 15~:
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.
