During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the preliminary sketch plan for the proposed Juniper Hills Phase 2 subdivision, focusing on key elements such as fencing, setbacks, and parking access.

The proposed plan includes a 7-foot, 4-inch fence along the south boundary and a 13-foot rear setback. The driveway at the east end is set to be extended to facilitate ingress and egress. Officials emphasized that the meeting was primarily to assess whether the plan fits the property and to identify any potential concerns, particularly regarding parking and fencing.

One official noted that the condominium code would apply regardless of the setback dimensions, ensuring compliance with existing regulations. The discussion also highlighted the need for further clarification on the placement of fencing, particularly on the west side, which may require additional research to determine its necessity.

Concerns were raised about the impact of the proposed setbacks on neighboring properties, with suggestions that a higher fence might mitigate any adverse effects. The officials agreed that decisions regarding fencing on the east and west sides could be deferred for further consideration.

The meeting also addressed parking requirements, confirming that the current plan meets the necessary standards for egress, with no requirement for additional access points unless the number of units exceeds 80. The officials acknowledged the importance of ensuring adequate space for fire apparatus access.

Lastly, the drainage plan remains to be determined, as the development will need to address both historical water flow and on-site drainage solutions. The meeting concluded with a motion to recommend approval of the subdivision plan, contingent upon resolving outstanding issues related to fencing, setbacks, and drainage.
