The subdivision will also amend lots 309-312 of the Brookfield Phase 3 Subdivision and lot 1107 of the Brookfield Phase 11 Subdivision. The subdivision consists of 20 lots on 6.4 acres. This equates to an overall density of 3.1 units per acre. Lot sizes range from 8,000 square feet to  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 10, 2021 -3- 11,118 square feet. The average lot size has been calculated at 8,775 square feet. The subdivision is amending certain lots in the Brookfield Subdivision to the east. The reason these lots are being incorporated into the subdivision is to resolve boundary issues regarding the existing fence. Rather than remove fences that have been in place for over 30 years, the developer is willing to give up a few feet of property so the existing fences can stay. Access to the subdivision will be gained from an existing street in the Brookfield Subdivision to the east. For the first phase, the subdivision is planned to only have 20 lots. The proposed subdivision will provide additional access points to the west for future development. Dedication and improvements along 4100 South will also be required as part of the subdivision.
