This south phase will share the same entrance as Asherwood north • We've had conversations with the adjacent neighbors of Deerfield,and they would like the existing stub street into our subdivision to be an emergency access gate only • Presented plat map, the south will contain six 1-acre lots • We will keep the existing island golf putting green with walking path and bridge as an amenity for residents • We are seeking the same SW for the private streets as we did for north Asherwood • We have submitted an existing tree survey to the Urban Forester Public Comments: Jane Funke,Royalton Drive: I live adjacent to the proposed gate between Deerfield and Asherwood South. We have no objection to this development.

We also have a temporary construction entrance along Ditch Rd.to serve the lots in the south. Buckler:Are there any plans to relocate the utility poles on the west side of Ditch Rd.?

We support this project,but we have several questions. They show 25-ft lighting poles,and we are asking for 20-ft poles,to match the Steadman Apartment lighting poles and to reduce the light spillage. We would like them to provide the specific lumens of their LED lights. We ask to have the lighting poles face downward.Will the outdoor lighting be on after office hours?I'm not clear if their landscape plantings of the berm meet the landscape requirements of the Bridges PUD, species type,and caliber size. 2 Plan Commission Minutes 10-17-23
