In an effort to ensure that new developments are complying with all applicable standards the
Department has been evaluating the Subdivision Control Ordinance as it relates to specified road
improvements and conformance with the Thoroughfare Plan. Specifically, we are evaluating the
required specifications for streets along the perimeter of proposed subdivisions. Likewise, as we
first saw with the Hayden Run Subdivision approved in October we have worked to address the
necessary design and construction of future collector streets identified in the Thoroughfare Plan.
The Department will be in a position to report to the committee regarding these issues at the
meeting on Tuesday evening.
The Department has encouraged the developer to meet with the Parks Department on the
possibility of dedicating the large open space (approximately 38 acres) at the north end of the site
as a public park. We look forward to an update from the developer regarding this matter at the
committee meeting.
The Department recommends that the Subdivision Committee forward this request to the
full Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation subject to the acceptable
resolution of the above-mentioned issues.
