The Subdivision Committee will meet to consider the following items:
1. Docket No. 152-02 PP; Cherry Creek Estates (Primary Plat)
The applicant seeks approval to plat a 273-lot residential subdivision on 149.562 acres. The site is located on the east side of Hazel Dell Parkway north and south of Cherry Tree Road.

Filed by Dennis Olmstead of Stoeppelwerth & Associates, Inc. for Platinum Properties.
Jim Nelson appeared before the Committee representing the applicant. Also present was Paul Rioux, Platinum Properties.
Jim Nelson stated that the plat meets or exceeds Zoning Ordinance and is compatible with Delaware Trace, Spring Green and Haverstick Estates. The petitioner has met with the City
Engineer, Department of Community Services, and Scott Brewer, Urban Forester; all concerns have been addressed at this point.
The plat provides for 271 lots on a 149.5-acre parcel—two lots less than the old plan. Some of the re-design ended up losing two lots. The density computes to 1.8 units per acre and
is the threshold density set forth in the Zoning Ordinance and the Open Space Ordinance for the S-1 District. Based upon the Open Space Ordinance, the property could be developed into
as many as 300 lots, however, the petitioner has chosen to develop at the lower end of the density spectrum.
Another area of interest was the entrance. The plan provides for a single entrance into Cherry Creek Estates from Haverstick and would be aligned with the entrance Avian Glen on the
opposite side of Hazel Dell.
In regard to the school zone, Steve Fehribach, Traffic Consultant prepared a letter to the Committee that sets forth his findings
Connection to three, existing stubs: 2 from Haverstick Estates, one northward of Delaware Trace. When those properties were developed, the streets were stubbed into Cherry Creek Estates.
Under the Ordinance, the developer is required to connect to the existing stubs.
Steve Fehribach looked at the existing stubs, and his findings
