3.Pre-app Clear Creek Golf Course to be located in the Forest Subdivision.
Additional access to the golf course could perhaps come from the development of Hope Village
Road. No additional comments at this time.
4.Pre-app Taylor Green Subdivision -Winding Way.
Chuck Davis, Land surveyor for the project, presented the plat. Mr. Taylor is proposing to
separate the property into 2 lots so that he can build his home on the back half. This property
will probably be developed as a PUD. No additional comments at this time.
5.Discussion Regarding the Forest Section 8.
6.
There were concerns about street flooding and access to section 8 in the event of a severe rain.
According to City Engineer Hodge, there could be as much as 12 inches of water in the street.
The commission is concerned about creating a subdivision that might not be accessible in the
event of an emergency. It is not clear if emergency vehicles could navigate in this type of water.
Consideration and Possible Action Regarding a Policy on a Time Limit Relating to Approvals
with Conditions.
Presently, a developer may take several months to make the proper changes to a site plan or
plat once it is approved. This creates a hardship for staff who has to make sure all conditions
are met.
