MEMORANDUM
TO: Joshua Beach, Associate Planner
FROM: Penelope Riley
DATE: January 8, 2018
RE: TIMBERLINE SUBDIVISION PRELIMINARY PLAT
UPDATES FOR JANUARY 18, 2018 HEARING
UPDATED PRELIMINARY PLAT AND LANDSCAPE PLAN
SURFACE IRRIGATION WATER INFORMATION
Please find attached the updated materials for Timberline Subdivision and discussion below.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
The southeast corner has been reconfigured so that the 3 buildable lots and the 1 common lot will be
accessed by a shared/private drive. The pavement will be 24 feet wide in compliance with City Code
and we are not proposing a sidewalk due to the short distance of the access drive and the limited
number of users. Phase 1 is shown on the attached Page 3.
We are happy to assist in any way with the vacation of the sewer/water easements that are no longer
needed. The legal and the exhibit have been submitted to the City. Please advise.
We are proposing to move one of the common lots to a more central location — this will be a swap of
Lot 34, Block 2, as a common lot to Lot 24, Block 2. This update is shown on the attached drawing.
We believe this location is better for the Phase 2 residents with its more central location but away from
Victory Road. Please see the attached Page 2.
The full plat sheet (Page 1) includes a Common Lots Table indicating where the lots are located and
the area of each of the lots as well as the total common lot area for the subdivision
PRESSURIZED IRRIGATION
Attached is a letter from the project engineer providing information about the availability of surface
firigation water for irrigating the subdivision. It appears that there is sufficient water to serve the
subdivision.
LANDSCAPE PLAN
Attached is an updated Landscape Plan for Timberline Subdivision. This landscape plan matches the
most recent preliminary plat and shows the proposed plant material for each of the common lots as
well as the Victory Road buffer area.
LAND USE PLANNING • DUE DILIGENCE - INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS
The applicant will be providing additional information on the amenities proposed for the common lot
with the community gathering / BBQ / covered picnic area. I will forward this information to you as
soon as it is available.
CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC
The applicant understands the neighborhood concern with construction traffic. It has always been their
intention to route construction vehicles through the "Phase Z" area and down to Phase I rather than the
vehicles traversing the existing neighborhoods.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need additional material or have questions.
Thank you!
