188 <br /> Approved 10.1.25 <br /> 1098 <br /> 1099 Beth Bronson: All right,yeah. I mean, as far as traffic goes, I get that there's only so much you guys can do. <br /> 1100 <br /> 1101 Josh Reinke: Yeah. <br /> 1102 <br /> 1103 Beth Bronson: Thanks. The question I did have about public access was sort of addressed. There is no indicate, <br /> 1104 like,there is no reason to request a condition for this public trail easement that would go from 86 <br /> 1105 to Eno Academy,for anybody that's walking to school? And is that because the fee is better than <br /> 1106 accommodating the public structure. <br /> 1107 <br /> 1108 Beth Trahos: Well, I mean, there will be a fee paid for the UDO requirement for parks. I think there is an <br /> 1109 opportunity with what the trails that are on the plan to, in the future if the HOA and Eno River <br /> 1110 Academy are agreeable to create a connection for walkers, but that is a decision that would have <br /> 1111 to be made by the future homeowners,just given the liability and maintenance issues that it would <br /> 1112 create. So,there is an opportunity for that in the concept plan if it makes sense in the future, it <br /> 1113 can be implemented. <br /> 1114 <br /> 1115 Beth Bronson: It's hard because most of the times,these come together as a rezoning and approval for the <br /> 1116 neighborhood. So,where are we talking about in theory,where are we talking about, or this is <br /> 1117 applicable for just the rezoning? <br /> 1118 <br /> 1119 Laura Haywood: I would also like to point out on Page 66 of your packet, the overall site plan that Beth is <br /> 1120 presenting to you, I would like to point out that we did put an access easement connecting both <br /> 1121 Pathway Elementary School and Eno River Academy, so, that there is an opportunity for us to <br /> 1122 collaborate and work out a scenario where this is beneficial, because one of the takeaways of our <br /> 1123 conversations with Cy, Pat, Taylor, and the rest of their staff,was this idea of walkability,and, I'm <br /> 1124 a proponent of walkability. I love the fact that people can walk to and from places and enjoy trails <br /> 1125 and all that stuff. I'm for that. So,we did put that on our site plan to also present that we are open <br /> 1126 to these conversations and to build a neighborhood and an area where I'm hopeful, in my vision, 1 <br /> 1127 envision this to be a residential community where people do have children, and that this is an <br /> 1128 opportunity for them to attend Eno River Academy,or to attend Pathways Elementary School. 1 <br /> 1129 am originally from Colorado, and my neighborhood did have a walking trail from our neighborhood <br /> 1130 down to my elementary school, and that was our way of commuting. <br /> 1131 <br /> 1132 Beth Bronson: It's extremely informative, and the idea that we need to consider that as we start recommending <br /> 1133 these types of subdivisions in this area, right? Like, it's not an option, say, in the middle of 54. <br /> 1134 But it is an option when you're trying to develop outside of the town. This is the only time that we <br /> 1135 have an idea to be able to have an impact on that.And, if it's not going to be annexed into the <br /> 1136 town, this is a great opportunity to require a condition that you collaborate with the adjacent parcel <br /> 1137 for, say, a cross country track.You know, in that trail. That could be used. <br /> 1138 <br /> 1139 Laura Haywood: I think Lindsey is still here. We have had conversations with Lindsey on multiple accounts, <br /> 1140 bearing different things, but that is an opportunity for sure. Two things. One, Eno River Academy <br /> 1141 is, I, 1 think Lindsay said it's starting to reach capacity or it's full? <br /> 1142 <br /> 1143 Lindsey Sealey: It's way full. <br /> 1144 <br /> 1145 Laura Haywood: Okay, it's way full. Her words. So, it's way full,which means it's a popular institution where people <br /> 1146 want to send their children to school, and I would love for more families to have the opportunity to <br /> 1147 that educational system, as they choose. <br /> 1148 <br /> 1149 Beth Bronson: I'd love for there to be affordable housing in these neighborhoods so we can make sure those kids <br /> 1150 could have access to that school. <br /> 1151 <br /> 1152 Laura Haywood: Yeah. I mean there's only so many battles we can address all at once. <br />
