7-2-97 DRAFT PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 24 MOTION: Strayhom moved approval subject to the Resolution of Approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Katz. VOTE: Unanimous. (2) Mill Pointe Subdivision,Phases 3-7 (Cedar Grove-Cheeks Townships-59 Lots) Presentation by Eddie Kirk. The property is located on the east side of Mill Creek Road(SR 1343)at the Cedar Grove-Cheeks Township line between High Rock Road(SR 1340) and Charlie's Dead End Road(SR 1347). Current zoning is Rural Residential south of the township line,Agricultural Residential north of the township line,and Back Creek Protected Watershed. Phases 1 and 2 of Mill Pointe are located across Mill Creek Road and were completed in 1995. The tract is 119.68 acres with 59 lots proposed. A portion of the property is currently being farmed by the owner, C.M.Ray,Jr. The majority of the site slopes at a gradient of less than 7.5%. Slopes between 7.5% and 15% cover less than 30%of the site. Slopes over 15%(Secondary Conservation Area)are found on approximately two acres near the northwest comer of the site. The land drains to the west toward Back Creek. Two small intermittent streams flow near the northern and southern boundaries of the subdivision and then under Mill Creek Road. The streams are considered Primary Conservation Area. A stream buffer is provided along the streams;a 30- foot land use buffer is required adjacent to the right-of-way of Mill Creek Road. East Mill Pointe Lane is the main road proposed through the subdivision. This road will be stubbed out to the east property line. For future circulation and potential access the Planning Staff is also recommending a publicly dedicated right-of-way stubout to the north at the end of Springhollow Court. There are two Fiscal Impact Analyses provided. One is for Phases 3 through 7 and the other is cumulative,and includes the lots previously approved in Phases 1 and 2. (Copies on file in the agenda file in the Planning Department.) The Planning Board approved the conventional and conservation Concept Plans for Mill Pointe Phases 3-7 on March 6, 1997. The applicant chose to submit the conventional Preliminary Plan.The subdivision layout is the same as approved on the Concept Plan except Springhollow Court has been moved east to line up directly across from Loganberry Court. Kirk explained that the only other change from the concept plan is the location of the stubout to the north as proposed by the Planning Staff.
