Thoroughfare Plan. Concerns expressed by the residents included, but were not limited to; the
distance between the Whitley Place lots along Teton Place and future First Street; safety of the
existing and proposed First Street alignment, including grade differentials, speed limits, and the
need for a traffic light in the future; the alignment of the proposed entry drives into Whitley Place
and Malabar Hill; zoning entitlements and residential density; and waterline design and
construction effectively setting future roadway alignments.
Warren Corwin (Applicant): Provided a summary of the proposed development.
Hulon Webb: Provided a history of the alignment and design of the waterline on First Street and
Town design criteria for roadways to ensure safety. Indicated staff did not have adequate time to
comprehensively analyze a relocation of First Street including the existing waterline since the
previous Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, and noted the developer did not want to deviate
from the alignment on the Preliminary Plat.
Glushko: Provided information regarding the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Thoroughfare
Plan as a guide, and informed Commission the Preliminary Plat does not violate any Town
ordinance and should be approved.
John Webb: Discussed the history of First Street, noting the 2008 recordation of the Whitley
Place, Phase 1 plat which depicted the proposed the alignment of First Street as also shown on
the Malabar Hill Preliminary Plat. Upon a question from Chairman Cotten, Mr. Webb confirmed
the depicted alignment was not part of the recorded plat of Whitley Place, Phase1.
