Lot 6, a tax lot located in the SW 1/ 4 of Section 21; along with part of Tax Lots 1, 2A and 3A tax

Caleb Beasley, 10909 Mill Valley Road ( Omaha), stepped forward to represent the applicant. He
noted that the applicant does not have any issues with the recommendations in the Planning
Commission Staff Report, and offered to answer any questions or concerns of the Commission.
Chairwoman Hoch called for discussion amongst the Commission.
Mr. Carson asked whether the setbacks for the lots north of Cornhusker Road were smaller than
the rest of the subdivision. Mr. Beasley explained that the lots south of Comhusker Road will have
the same R-2 setbacks as phases 1 and 2 of Granite Lake, however, the lots to the north or
Cornhusker are part of a Planned Unit Development ( PUD), and have reduced setbacks. Mr.
Gibbons added that the side yard setbacks for the PUD portion will be five feet, because this
portion is being developed as a villa concept as there are site constraints on this portion of the
development caused by floodplain and storm water detention.
Mr. Carson asked whether there would be any off-street parking designated for the wetland
reserve portion of the project, and whether this habitat would be open to the public. Mr. Beasley
explained that the wetland habitat amenity is intended to serve that neighborhood; however, there
is nothing to prevent the public from parking on the street and using the amenity. Mr. Carson
asked whether this amenity would connect to the local trail system. Mr. Beasley noted that it would
not; however, the subdivision would be extending the regional trail system to the south along
Wittmus Drive and the proposed WP-7 dam site.
Mr. Carson asked why the wetland amenity north of Cornhusker Road was not being developed
as single-family homes. Mr. Beasley described that much of this land is located in the floodplain.
Mr. Masters asked for clarification on the types of housing proposed in the PUD portion. Mr.
Beasley explained that these would be owner occupied single-family villas.
Mr. Carson asked about the projected sale price of the villas. Mr. Beasley stated that the estimated
tax valuation is $ 300, 000.
With no further discussion, Motion was made by Mr. Robinson Ill, seconded by Mr. Masters, to
recommend approval of the Granite Lake ( Phase 3) Final Plat ( FP- 18- 0004) because it is
generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, compatible with adjacent uses, compliant with
Subdivision and Zoning Regulations, and consistent with the revised Preliminary Plat for the lots
north of Cornhusker Road and the Preliminary Plat for the lots south of Cornhusker Road,
contingent upon the resolution of staff comments. Roll Call: Nine yeas, no nays. Motion carried.

center uses would meet the state mandated separation requirements.

Mr. Jobeun noted that the project is generally consistent with the future land use designation of
low-density and medium- density housing with a proposed density of 3. 6 units per acre.
Mr. Jobeun added that the Comprehensive Plan contemplates a school at this site; however, the

establishing a school in a proposed subdivision to the north.
Mr. Joebun explained that the lots will be approximately 65 to 75 feet wide and 120 — 130 feet
deep. He added that the house prices will likely range from $ 275, 000 to $ 450, 000, and the villas

will help fund the cost of those improvements. He stated that Schram Road is paved up to one-
eight of a mile west of S 114th Street, and will be paved along the frontage of this project as it
develops, and to S 126th Street when the southern portion of Ashbury Hills develops.
Mr. Carson asked whether the intersection of S 114th Street and HWY 370 is signalized. Mr.
Jobeun noted that is not signalized, however, the infrastructure needed to signalize this
intersection is already in place. He added that the State will need to warrant said signal.
Chairwoman Hoch called for proponents and Seeing no further public input,
opponents.
Chairwoman Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion.
Mr. Keller asked whether there was enough separation between the traffic signal at S 108th Street
to warrant another at S 114th Street. Mr. Goff noted that the state has already started traffic counts
at the intersection of S 114th Street and Highway 370; however, it has not met warrants to date.
He added that the spacing is adequate. Mr. Jobeun reiterated that the state required Prairie Hills
to install the infrastructure for this intersection; therefore, the necessary infrastructure is already
in place to add a traffic signal when warranted. He confirmed that this signal has been anticipated
for some time.
