A General Development Plan (GDP) was approved by TRC in 2004 for approximately
654 lots. The GDP was reapproved by TRC in November, 2011 for the same number of
lots. Since GDP approval, two preliminary performance phases totaling 182 units have
received approval by TRC. Phase 1B represents another phase to the existing GDP.

Planning Staff Observations
A new TIA will be required with the next preliminary phase of this project. The
last TIA was adopted in December, 2002 with a built out year of 2012.
Sidewalk discussion will need revisiting. Originally, a sidewalk was approved by
TRC that extended from the Sanders Road entrance to the project to the entrance
to Bellamy Elementary School.
At the present time, the links to nodes (road inter-connectivity) index is 1, 1.4
required. This index should improve with future phases to the project.
