Re: Teakwood Subdivision Application
Mayor Simison,
We have made several changes to the Teakwood Subdivision application plan after our
last hearing with Planning and Zoning Commission which should meet the requirements
and desires of planning and zoning and comply with the Unified Development Code
(UDC).
These changes include the current homeowner (Lot 2, Block 2) taking access within the
subdivision off of the extension of Fathom Street and closing their current access point
along E. Victory Road. We are also proposing a 7' attached sidewalk along E. Victory as
requested per ACHD's staff report. We have also consolidated the open space to
include the turnaround for future roadway connection to the east connecting it to the
southern cul-de-sac providing a gateway to the larger open space to the south via a 5'
wide pathway. Along that route we have proposed a peaceful pondless water feature
providing calming sounds of running water and park benches to sit and reflect with the
ability to maintain social distancing. We have increased the overall open space in
excess of the UDC and qualified open space at the request of staff.
We are requesting City Council approval or remand to Planning and Zoning
Commission in lieu of a denial.
Sincerely
E
Dan Lardie
