During the recent Technical Review Committee meeting in Lexington, significant discussions centered around the development plan for Hagerman Court, particularly regarding landscaping and utility easements.

Matt Carter from Vision Engineering highlighted the need for a 15-foot landscape buffer adjacent to residential areas, which can be reduced to 8 feet with a 6-foot privacy fence. The current plan shows a 10-foot buffer, which Carter confirmed would be acceptable if the fence is included. This adjustment aims to enhance the aesthetic appeal while ensuring privacy for nearby residents.

The primary focus of the meeting was the dedication of right-of-way for Hagerman Court, which has recently been connected to Stone Road. Carter emphasized the urgency of certifying the plat to facilitate this dedication, noting that the council has yet to release the old right-of-way. The plan will transition from a public acquisition plat to a final record plat, requiring minor adjustments to the documentation.

Carter also addressed maintenance notes related to easements, clarifying that these typically pertain to private access and must be maintained by property owners. He assured the committee that the necessary street tree plan and bond for the project have been prepared, marking this as the final record plat for the property before moving on to a consolidation plat.

In a related discussion, the committee explored the possibility of utility easements for street lights on the Hagerman Court extension. Carter confirmed that while overhead lines will remain on Maxwell, the new extension will feature underground utilities, enhancing the overall look and functionality of the area.

The meeting underscored the importance of these developments for the community, with plans moving forward to ensure compliance with regulations and enhance local infrastructure.
