of Bay Colony Meadows West, Section 4 that was approved by the Commission on

Mr. Glasper further stated that
the original preliminary plat (including this section) contained 26.2 acres, 97
residential lots and 6 restricted reserves. The layout of the initial section
has been reconfigured and the number of lots has been reduced due a change in
the land plan layout.
Mr. Glasper added that the
Commission approved Master Plan Revision #7 on September 21, 2009 showing that
new configuration.
Mr. Glasper further informed the Commission that a
revision to the master plan was recently approved to move the 0.6-acre park
into Section 6. The park acreage was already there, but was not delineated to
any specific section. This revision was approved administratively because there
was no change to traffic circulation or density.

The motion was adopted by a vote of 7-1-0. Mr. Bogus

from the proposed playing fields.

approved by the Development Review Committee in May of 2009.
Mr. Glasper further stated that
access will be via Calder Road and that according to the Public Works
Department, the City anticipates the need to design and install a right turn
lane southbound on Calder and a left turn lane northbound. However, these
improvements are not scheduled nor proposed to be added on the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP).
LaShondra Holmes, Planning
Manager noted that the Public Works Director has indicated that the city would
indeed be making the improvements on Calder for the turn lane.
Mr. Hullman asked if the turn
lanes were a result of a Traffic Impact Analysis.
