Developer presents Diamond Peak concept for Randolph Street; commissioners press for traffic, drainage and commercial‑use details
Summary
Diamond Peak Homes presented a revised plat concept for Randolph Street with mixed lot sizes and a commercial corridor; commissioners said they need a traffic study that defines commercial intensity, drainage analysis, and clarification of sanitary easements before moving forward.
A representative for Diamond Peak Homes presented a revised plat concept for a subdivision near Randolph Street and told the commission the plan adds several 80‑foot and 75‑foot lots while reserving a commercial corridor. The commission’s discussion focused heavily on traffic and drainage and on clarifying commercial uses for accurate traffic modeling.
"I'm Rick Kentville with Diamond and Pay Homes," the presenter said when introducing the concept and the updated plat materials. He described plans for added 80‑ and 75‑foot lots and said the developer hopes to begin site work this year, adding that machine mobilization would put roads in within months if the body authorizes moving forward.
Commissioners repeatedly emphasized Randolph Street improvements as the central issue. One commissioner said the town needs a traffic study that accounts for the specific commercial uses proposed — for example, a drive‑through restaurant would generate very different peak trips than a daycare or retail uses. Staff confirmed that the standard process is for the petitioner to create a traffic study, after which staff will model the petitioner’s trip generation in the town’s traffic model and identify roadway improvements the development would trigger.
The commission also asked the developer to review sanitary sewer easements that run along the rear of parcels and could reduce building depth for some lots, and noted topography/retention‑pond constraints at the western edge of the project. Several commissioners suggested the developer consider stubbing a future road to the west to preserve connectivity for long‑term planning.
The commission did not vote on the proposal at the meeting; members asked the developer to return with clearer engineering, complete traffic analysis tied to defined commercial intensities, and a presentation that shows how the commercial corridor will be accessed and buffered from residential lots.
