FP-13-010 - Spurwing Grove No. 5 Final Plat
I. APPLICATION SUMMARY
The applicant, Brighton Development Inc., has applied for approval of a final plat consisting of sixteen
(16) residential lots and four (4) common lots on 6.47 acres of land. This is the sixth final plat proposed
for the Spurwing Greens Subdivision (PP-10-001). The gross density of the proposed subdivision is 2.47
dwelling units (d.u.) per acre with a net density of 4.33 d.u. per acre. The average lot size is 10,062 square
feet (s.£) and the minimum anticipated dwelling size is 1,400 s.f. All of the lots proposed for this phase of
development are for single-family detached homes and comply with the dimensional standards of the R-8
zoning district.
The open space proposed with the plat includes amicro-path lot, collector street buffers and 8-foot and 6-
foot wide parkways along the proposed local streets. The proposed open space totals 34,615 square feet
which is approximately 12.3% open space for this phase. The open space is consistent with the overall
project open space requirements of 21% approved with the preliminary plat.
Because the number of buildable lots is the same and the amount of common open space is the same, staff
finds the proposed plat to be in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as required by
UDC 11-6B-3C.2.
The site is located north of Chinden Boulevard and west of N. Jayker Way in the southeast '/4 of Section
22, Township 4 North, Range 1 West.

APPENDED APPLICANT STATEMENT
All,
We have reviewed the referenced staff report and concur with the recommended conditions of approval subject
to the following underlined) language additions:
Condition 4.3'd bullet
• The applicant shall stub street right-of-way for W. Sugar Tree Drive through Lot 1, Block 9 (east boundary of N.
Jayker Way) to the Teco One property (Parcel #50422427960).
Condition 7
7. All fencing installed on the site must be in compliance with UDC 11-3A-6 and 11-3A-7. Temporary construction
fencing to contain debris shall be installed at the north subdivision boundary prior to release of building permits
for this subdivision.
Condition 8
8. Applicant shall be responsible to construct all required development improvements to the subdivision boundary
within N. Jaker Way, including but not limited to; sanitary sewer, water, pressurized irrigation, sidewalks and
paved roadway or as agreed with the adjacent property owner benefitting from those improvements.
Reason: The extensions of Jayker Way and Sugar Tree Drive intersect the common property boundary
between Brighton and The Ewing Company/Teco One at acute angles. The parties have agreed that
Brighton will stub all utilities to, and terminate street Improvements at the end of the curb return for
north and east legs of the intersection. Ewing/Teco wild construct the remainder of the required
improvements when it develops Heron Ridge Estates Subdivision.
This condition modification applies only to the initial construction of improvements for Spurwing
Grove No. 5 (see attachment). The Council will recall that the original Jayker Subdivision approval
included a requirement that Jayker-now Spurwing-contribute 69% of the cost of the extension of
Jayker Way northerly to the Phyllis Canal; that requirement is still in effect. The form and timing of
that contribution will be addressed with ACHD. Thus, even though Ewing/Teco will extend Jayker
Way in the future, Brighton will be paying much of the cost of that roadway.
I will attend the City Council meeting this evening to answer questions.
