Commission approves preliminary plan for Summit at Walnut Hill Section 1A; water-main location and stormwater changes noted
Summary
Atwell on behalf of Summit One, LLC, presented a preliminary major subdivision to create six townhouses, a park and a new stormwater facility; Town and KCI comments require relocating a proposed water main from beneath the sidewalk to under the roadway and other minor revisions. The Commission approved the plan contingent on resolving outstanding comments.
Jonathan Mascari of Atwell requested approval of a Preliminary Major Subdivision Plan for Summit at Walnut Hill Section 1A on March 9, describing six townhouse lots that replace an earlier proposed office building and a stormwater management facility to bring Section 1 into compliance with current code.
Mascari said the revision is intended to make the cul-de-sac layout homogeneous with nearby lots and to provide additional stormwater capacity. He said the construction plans and erosion- and sediment-control documents were submitted to KCI and that the Town's March 4 comment letter raised mostly minor items. Mascari noted a specific design issue raised by Town engineering: previously approved standard details located a water main under the sidewalk, but recent comments require relocating the water main to run under the roadway; he said the team will adjust the plans to meet the Town's current standard.
Commissioners asked for clarification; Mascari said he expects to resolve the comments and does not anticipate substantial changes. Commissioner Thomas Jones moved to approve the Preliminary Major Subdivision Plan contingent on addressing all outstanding comments; the motion was seconded by Paul Manuel and carried unanimously.
Why it matters: The plan advances new housing (six townhouses) and stormwater capacity in the Summit at Walnut Hill development; changes to water-main placement and stormwater design must be finalized before permitting.
Next steps: Planning staff and the applicant will resolve KCI and Town comments and return final construction documents as required for permitting.
