Mr. Smith stated that the applicant had made some changes to the installation of the water and sewer infrastructure. Mr. Smith also stated that Lambert St. was originally designed as a through street to connect with a future phase of Lamar Street. The applicant had redesigned this area into two cul-de-sac areas that will cause Lambert St. to end with this development. Berls asked about the completion of Lamar St, as originally planned with this development. Berls was concerned that this development had reached the fire code amount to temporarily allow one access for 90 residential developments. Matson stated that there was some concern with only having one access to Brookstone Divisions 8 and 11 as it continued to develop. This development currently has multiple access points one of which already leads to Lamar St. from Wiltshire St. which will not have any impact on the Brookstone Divisions 8 and 11 developments access. Development Manager Sean Harris stated that this application had been reviewed by City Staff and appears to meet the standards of Titles 16, 17 and I8 of City Code, and recommended approval. Mr. Harris also stated that Lamar St. is designed to continue north just west of this development and will intersect with Thurston St. just north of this development.
