Council approves Long Valley Trails PCD amendment; council conditions return on road plan
Summary
The council approved an amendment to the Long Valley Trails planned community development to add a fire-station parcel and convert some apartment pods to townhomes. Council added a request that the developer return within 60 days with an update on the secondary access/paving plan.
Washington City Council voted Feb. 26 to approve a Planned Community Development (PCD) amendment for Long Valley Trails that adds a lot for a future fire station and converts previously planned apartments to townhomes, while adding 14 dwelling units to accommodate the fire-station parcel.
Drew Ellerman, community development director, told the council the change amends section 2 of the Long Valley PCD map to create a 1.10-acre parcel for a fire station and to change two apartment pods to townhome development. Ellerman said the planning commission held a public hearing on Feb. 19 and recommended unanimous approval. "The only increase in all the density units is the 14 for the fire station," he said.
Developer Don Bean (Doctor Horton) told council members he intends to start the secondary access road work and that the company planned to pave the road; council members asked for a clearer, firm schedule. Councilman Ivy moved approval with an additional condition requesting the developer to return to the council within 60 days with an update on the plan and timing for paving the secondary access; the motion passed unanimously.
Council and staff also discussed connectivity and trail accommodations tied to the extension and the state's trail plans along the parkway. The PCD amendment passed with the council's stated expectation that the developer and city staff will follow up on a schedule for the secondary access road.
Votes and next steps: Councilman Ivy moved approval, Councilman Caspersen seconded. The council's motion included the 60-day follow-up condition; staff will record the condition and the applicant said plans for the road are in review with city engineering.
