and West 131st Street and on the south side of 131st Street ~ mile west ofShelbome

Filed by James J. Nelson of Nelson & Frankenberger for Boomerang Development, LLC.
The applicant is proposing a 259-10t subdivision. Approximately 160 acres of the site is located
at the northwest comer of Shelbome Road and 131 st Street and the other 40 acres is located just
west of Shelbome on the south side of 131 st Street. Please refer to the informational packet
provided by the applicant (sent on November 9th with Agenda for November 20th Commission
meeting) to view the layout of the lots and the areas provided as open space. The committee
members were provided a traffic operations analysis for the proposed development as requested.
The Subdivision Committee forwards this item back to the Plan Commission with a favorable
recommendation by a vote of 5-1. Issues raised that have been addressed by the applicant
include the following:
1. Elimination of the stub street to the west in the southwest area of the subdivision,
2. Connection of the trail system in Block A to the adjacent multi-use path, and
3. The installation of street lighting with down lighting attributes as approved by the
Hamilton County Highway Department.
In an effort to ensure that new developments are complying with all applicable standards the
Department has evaluated the Subdivision Control Ordinance (SCO) as it relates to road
improvements and conformance with the Thoroughfare Plan. Specifically, it has been
determined that streets along the perimeter of proposed subdivisions shall comply with the
minimum specifications contained within the SCO and Thoroughfare Plan. The applicant has
addressed this requirement and memorialized it by commitment. The commitment has been
reviewed by John Molitor and is in an acceptable form. A copy of the commitment will be
available at the meeting.
The Dep'artment has requested a letter from the County Highway Department regarding the status
of 131 s Street between West Road and the Hamilton / Boone County line as requested by the
committee. This should be available at the meeting. Under the commitment made by the
applicant is possible for applicant to contribute to other roadway improvements. However, if this
improvement is already funded the roadway improvements for this development would be made
elsewhere.
The Department recommends that the Plan Commission approve the Primary Plat
application subject to recording of the subject commitment.
