Dave Sexton of The Schneider Corporation appeared before the Committee on behalf of
the petitioner seeking Secondary Plat approval.
Marilyn Anderson shared some background information with the committee. At the time
of Primary Plat approval for Eagle Ridge, there were three conditions as follows: 1) The
restriction of applicationslbuilding permits to a cumulative rate not to exceed 50 dwelling
units per year beginning with the date of the petition's approval; 2) If the ground is not
available for passing blisters on 116th Street and 121 st Street, the developer will install left
turn lanes east bound on 116th Street and west bound on 121 sf Street as an alternative, and
curving the roads into the petitioner's property enough to accommodate the turn lanes --
all of which is subject to Hamilton County Highway approval; and 3) The developer was
to make timely repairs or resurfacing to County specifications on 116th and 12181 Streets
as a result of any damage by construction equipment.
In light of the foregoing conditions, there need to be turn lanes shown on the drawings.
u
There was discussion regarding passing blisters and turn lanes that had been mentioned at
public hearing. The petitioner stated that he had tried to acquire right-of-way for left turn
lanes, but the ground was not available.

Terry Jones commented that in the event the County would say that they did not want
turn lanes, it would be the applicant's responsibility to return to the Plan Commission and U
amend their commitments to the Plan Commission. The petitioner has an obligation to
the Plan Commission through commitments made to them. In order to change those
commitments, the petitioner would have to re-notice and appear at Public Hearing before
the Plan Commission.
Ron Houck pointed out that one of the criteria for approval is safety and traffic as well as
health, safety and welfare.
Dave Sexton stated that a new landscape plan had been submitted. Some of the plant
material is already in place. An entrance-way landscape treatment was previously
approved.
Terry Jones asked that the petitioner submit to the Department, the final design of the
road, complete with left turns, after approval by the County.
Ron Houck moved for the approval of Docket No. 104-99 SP, Eagle Ridge, Section 1,
contingent upon the (3) original commitments being met by the petitioner.
APPROVED 6 in favor, none opposed.
There being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was
adjourned at 7:35 PM.
