STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
Planning staff and the City Engineer have reviewed the final development plan and final plat. This
phase differs from the original preliminary development plan in open space, lot quantity, and street
configuration. The previously designed "loop" road (now known as Headwaters Drive and Lake
Pointe Way) is no longer a continuous circle; rather it has been fashioned into a wishbone design
to accommodate a larger amount of open space than was previously shown. These changes result
in a reduction of three (3) building lots from that previously approved with the prelinllinary
development plan. Considering the lot layout and street design, it is staff's opinion that this ninth
phase of the fmal development plan :an meet the Findings of Fact required in Eagle City Code
Section 8-6-6-3 B and C (as noted herein) with the conditions recommended herein and that the
phase nine final plat will be in substmtial compliance with the preliminary plat with the conditions
herein.

Ranch PUD. The minutes are incorporated herein by reference.
