(H6) #2596 BRENSHELL HOMES, 1181 WILDHURST TRAIL - PROPOSED SIX LOT SUBDIVISION WITH DEVELOPMENT OF GARDEN LANE AS A PUBLIC ROAD, 9:10 p.m. - 10:02 p.m. Steve Behnke, Brenshell Homes, was present. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Weinberger stated the Applicant has submitted a preliminary plat application for a six lot subdivision of approximately seven acres of land located at 1181 Wildhurst Trail. The lots would have access from Garden Lane, which is a platted but undeveloped street. Garden Lane would connect Tonkaview Lane to Outlot A. The road is proposed as a public road to the cul-de-sac. The proposed access from Tonkaview eliminates a number of problems with the proposal with the sketch plan review. The Garden Lane access will eliminate driveways to Wildhurst, thus protecting the trees along Wildhurst Trail and controlling stormutiter runoff on site. PAGE 19
