She displayed a land use map, general plan map and shared a brief description of the infrastructure and utility issues with the site and the recent removal of the lift station property from the GPA area. Ms. Trisko shared the seventeen (17) stipulations and stated why they are important and referenced policy to support them. She shared that the proposal is compatible with surrounding land uses in the area. Mr. Bill Lally, applicant representative, provided a brief history of this site stating that the original entitlements approved in 2005 allowed approximately 700 residential units and mixed uses near the intersection. In 2018, the entitlements were changed again to allow for some single family and townhome uses with a total unit count of 700 dwellings. Mr. Lally then described the current site plan details along with the infrastructure and utilities issues for the site now proposing 228 single family lots due to reduced utility access with the preservation of 118 acres as permanent preserve. Mr. Lally also explained that a small portion of the site, along I-17, was removed from the GPA boundary for the lift station. Committee Member Steve Tucker asked the applicant if the site’s only access point was along Dixileta Drive? Mr. Bill Lally stated that Dixilate Drive is the main access point due to the site’s proximity to I-17 on the east and the canal on the south. Committee Member Steve Tucker asked if the roundabout shown near the southern end of the project would connect to the frontage road?

Mr. Lally further stated that there will be two gated entrance points to the site. Committee Member Steve Tucker commented that he is pleased with the 118-acre hillside portion of the site that will be donated as permanent preserve. Mr. Bill Lally stated it was Lennar’s work with the City that made this dedication happen. Committee Member Julie Read stated that this development would be part of the Deer Valley School District and as such, would need to provide bus service to the site. She asked, will turnarounds and the entrance gates shown on the site plan allow busses adequate turnaround space? Mr. Bill Lally stated that the project will be designed with adequate turnaround space for all types of large vehicles that will be needed to serve the site.
