2.
Al Lentz of Lentz Engineering presented the proposed plat of the Lakes of Falcon Ridge.
City staff expressed concerns that the plat did not match up to the Major Thoroughfare
Plan. There has been discussion with the adjacent property owners about moving the
proposed thoroughfare onto their property. City Engineer Hodge will verify the placement
of the proposed thoroughfare. Lentz is proposing 177 lots in this project.

Blackhawk.
Previously, the commission had requested a public right of way to the adjacent property;
however, the developer is requesting the access be a private access easement. The

recording with the County.

Staff for filing.
