Filed by Brian Robinson of Stoeppelwerth and Assoc. for Steve Wilson Inc.
The applicant is proposing a 30 lot subdivision on 30.56 acres requiring the approval of two
subdivision waivers. Please see the original information packet provided by the applicant for
details. The public hearing for this item was held at the September 20, 2005, Plan Commission
meeting. Several people spoke in opposition to the project. Concerns were as follow:
1. The subdivision waiver for points of access was opposed. Some residents feel that not
connecting to 106th Street in this section of the subdivision will channel too much traffic
through the existing section 1. There was also some concern over emergency access into
the section if there is only one point of access granted for the entire subdivision.
2. Adjoining property owners voiced their desire to see increased landscaping along the
southern and western boundaries to provide an adequate buffer from the rear yards of
houses.
3. Further details on the potential of retention ponds affecting the water table/existing wells.
Staff along with the Hamilton County Highway Department request a connection to 106th Street
that lines up to the existing entrance on the north side (entrance to King's Mill Subdivision).
Connecting to 106th street is more desirable from both a traffic circulation and safety standpoint.
As such, we do not support this waiver request.
We have received a letter from a lot owner in Section 1 that is in support of the proposed design
(see attached)
If this connection is not made, the petitioner will need to file a cuI de sac length waiver as well
(to allow a cuI de sac in excess of600 feet). If there is reason to support the cul-de-sac design,
accommodations should be made for emergency access as well as convenient pedestrian access to
the trail along 106th Street.
