Question: When are drainage issues considered?
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

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"?

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.
