273 <br />A question was asked why the developer was not being required to extend a roadway <br />through the property to allow access to parcels towards the eastern property line. There <br />was also a concern expressed by an attendee this project would be allowed to tie into <br />existing residential neighborhoods to the north increasing traffic along these roadways. <br />Staff indicated it was not practical to extend the proposed roadway to the east due to <br />the presence of streams and floodplain and that all parcels to the east of the project <br />already had roadway access. The applicant indicated they had no interest in <br />connecting with adjoining subdivisions as they did not want to create traffic problems for <br />their neighbors. The applicant reminded all in attendance vehicular access to the <br />individual residences would not be permitted directly. Owners would park in designated <br />spaces and that access to the residences would be through a foot path. This path <br />would be accessible by emergency vehicles but it was not the plan to have cars driving <br />in the area. The applicant did indicate some residents would be allowed to use golf <br />carts to access this area but that vehicular traffic would be restricted in and around the <br />proposed residences. There was general discussion on the pedestrian walkway around <br />the houses and over the parking area for resident vehicles. <br />Staff concluded the meeting with a summary of the next steps in the process. The <br />meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:30pm. <br />
