Prescott City Council Study Session—September 19,2006 Page 8 Community Development Director Tom Guice explained Estrella Hills was requesting preliminary plat approval and approval of a water service agreement and presented the following information: • the subdivision consisted of 10 lots on 13 acres • it was located north and west of the intersection of Green Lane and Meadowridge Road • access would be off Estrella Road via a public street • the street would be 28 feet wide, with curb, gutter and sidewalk, within a 50 foot right-of-way • the zoning was Single Family-35 • some of the area was on septic and the subdivision would extend sewer lines. Councilman Blair said he had lived in that area for 15 years and asked if the corner was going to be improved; this was a short cut to Granite Mountain Middle School and asked how far the road was going to be improved and if traffic control methods were going to be put in on the downhill slope of the road. Mr. Guice replied the portion of the street that fronts the subdivision and the streets within the subdivision would be paved and any traffic mitigation would have to go to the Transportation Coordinating Committee to review. itior Councilman Blair concluded saying once,the road was improved there would be more traffic and a traffic mitigation plan was needed because people traveled too fast along there. Mr. Guice mentioned the Final Plat would come to Council on October 3 and 10 and that could be a condition of approval of the final plat. Councilman Roecker asked if the one way in and one way out was approved by the Fire Department and Mr.Guice said it was acceptable. Councilman Blair asked to have a traffic counter put on the road to identify the amount of traffic and to have those numbers before the Final Plat came to Council for approval. Councilman Luzius remarked some of the lots had been moved down along the corridor and asked if the improvements on Estrella Road use the complete right-of-way. Mr. Guice said the road would be a full paving width of 28 feet with curb and gutter on both sides. Councilman Luzius asked if the current water allotment went away and a new allotment given and Mr.Guice said that was correct.
