Answer: Drainage issues will be reviewed at such time of Overall Development Plan (ODP) and Project Development Plan (PDP) review. Question: Will City engineers look at drainage plan? Answer: The applicant will need to hire a consulting engineer to analyze and provide recommendations for improvements. The City will then review this information at such time of application. Question: Will residents be notified of next step? Answer: The applicant will probably do an ODP, which will require another neighborhood meeting. Regardless, neighbors will be notified of public hearings. The applicant will probably hold another neighborhood meeting since the applicant does not have a lot of drainage information at this stage. Comment: The end of Boxelder Drive was damming up with water last spring. There is a concern about this drainage system being blocked. Question: Why is the applicant asking for a rezone when it is not known who or how development on the property will occur? Answer: Because of change in developers, applicant may choose to withdraw rezone application. Regardless, research so far seems to indicate that the proposal is a good land use proposal. Traffic impacts will be reduced. Question: Who is in charge of widening East Prospect Road? Answer: The applicant/developer is responsible for improving Prospect Road as development occurs. City is also a partner. The City's plan covers improvements from the bridge to Summitview. Question: Why didn't ELC improve Prospect Road? Answer: (Staff) Involvement of CSU affected this. Question: What about the Prospect Streetscape Plan? Answer: (Staff) The Prospect Streetscape Plan will be implemented at time Page 2 of 4 of development. 12. Question: Who will maintain the open space approved/identified in plans? Answer: If owned by the City, City will maintain. If owned by the developer, maintained by HOA or developer. 13. Question: Some of the adjacent owners maintain a greenbelt behind their homes and want to make sure they maintain ability to access their back yard in order to keep RV/trailer storage. Will light on Summitview and Prospect be made more user friendly? Answer: The right people are not in the room. 14. Question: How will electricity be brought onto the site? Answer: Don't know routing, but lines will be underground. 15. Question: How does possible development affect property values in Boxelder? Answer: Not an expert, guess is that it will improve property values. Proposed zoning decreases traffic impacts and results in a better neighborhood mix. 16. Question: Could development affect existing wells? Answer: Don't have enough info yet. Has been a concern at previous neighborhood meetings. 17. Question: The Cityscape letter referred to possible connections to existing neighborhoods? Answer: Boxelder plat indicates anticipation that roads would continue. Usually residents don't want connection. City planning documents encourage connections. When property was purchased, intent was to restrict auto access. 18. Question: Same connectivity concern with Locust to the north. Development impacts to Cooper Slough would result in compensation? Answer: Developer can not worsen existing conditions, not obligated to fix existing conditions. 19. Question: Is Cooper Slough part of a "natural area"? Page 3 of 4 r 0 Answer: (Staff) The natural area value has not been verified at this time. Small wetlands exist, but area does not have same habitat as north of Mulberry. 20. Question: Drainage patterns of site? Answer: Site generally drains to SE to Boxelder Creek. Because the site is flat, the developer may create a high point in center of property to drain part of property to west. 21. Question: Does the City have plans to annex Boxelder Estates? Answer: (Staff) Annexations would have to be voluntary. 22. Comment: The proposed plan is good. 23. Comment: Like enlarged natural area, large lots on edges.
