AGENCY WORKSHOP AGENCY WORKSHOP SUMMARY – WILLOWBROOK Mayor Chadwick summarized that this evening's workshop would revolve around schools, water/sewer, fire, and police. Nate Mitchell of Willowbrook provided an overall summary of the project, noting the application was for approximately 1,556 acres of ground that lies basically along the Purple Sage corridor on the west from a half mile west of Kingsbury Road East ending a quarter mile west of Highway 16. Mitchell reviewed the proposed residential, commercial, and golf course development utilizing a map (see Agenda Packet). Discussion ensued on elementary and middle school needs to support the proposed housing. A challenge noted was the possible long term issues surrounding routing Star school children east for their educations in West Ada School District and noting that Middleton School District is having difficulty getting bonds passed. The projection noted was 0.5 students per unit in terms of demographics. An elementary site at Willowbrook was noted as likely being necessary, as well as a bus stop or bus depot to service older students in routing them to an existing area for middle and high school students.
