OVERLAND HILLS SUBDIVISION. Preliminary - #38-90
OVERLAND HILLS SUBDIVISION. 2nd Filing - Preliminary. #38-90A
Steve Olt gave staff report on this 1987 annexation recommending approval.
He noted it would be served by City Light and Power; sanitation in the first
filing would be by the district and in the 2nd filing by septic system. There
are four conditions on each item:
1. Trail alignment will be coordinated with City including a 50 foot wide
easement for Spring Creek Trail.
2. Springfield Subdivision, 6th Filing, Amended Plat of Lots 24, 25, and 26,
must be recorded with the County prior to final approval.
3. The Development Agreement will indicate property owners of Parcel C will
be responsible for their portion of construction of both the east and west sides
of Overland Trail extension when it is built.
. 4: A HEC-2 analysis, stream profiles and cross sections will be provided at
time of final review so easements and tracts can be determined.
Tim Beatty asked about the Overland Trail extension.
Ken Waido responded the proposed extension of Overland Trail has been
relocated to the flat portion of ground between Drake and 38E. Ken explained
development activity would be the actual deciding factor of how and when
Overland Trail develops but the City is currently reserving options for this
development.
Karen Johnson, Highlands West resident, asked how the developer arrived at
the number of lots in each filing.
Jim Gefroh, representing the applicant, indicated the topography of the land
was the main factor in how the number of lots in each subdivision were
determined. Filing One is on higher land lending itself to typical single
family lots, although larger lots than those in the subdivision to the cast and
smaller than Highland Hills to the south.
Mr. Beatty went on to state the smallest lot in Highland Hills is 20,000 square
feet and the largest in this development barely that large. He felt this
development would reduce his property value by $30,000 and was not a good
zoning compromise for the area. The least expensive home in his development
was $169,000.
Mr. Gefroh indicated there would be protective covenants on the property and
the homes would be semi -custom or custom, and he felt they would be over
$ l 00,000.
Member Walker recognized the City's policy to encourage mixed use
development and felt this proposal was not an abrupt change from the
surrounding areas. Member O'Dell agreed.
Member O'Dell moved to approve Overland Hills Subdivision and Overland
Hills Subdivision, 2nd Filing, with the four staff conditions. Member Strom
seconded the motion.
Motion carried approving both items 7-0.
GALATIA ANNEXATION AND ZONING. #36-90

zoning of 25 acres Highway Business, 143 acres Industrial Park, and 65 acres
Planned Residential, with a Planned Unit Development condition_ Staff is

Member Strom questioned the irregular zoning boundaries.
Eldon Ward, Cityscape, representing the applicant, explained the natural
boundaries, as well as highway frontage road constraints, were used to
determine the zoning boundaries.
