KB Home flags utility and street constraints in Tule Springs East public comment
Summary
KB Home representative Bob Groenauer urged the council to consider existing utility and drainage constraints in the Tule Springs East planning area, citing a 72-inch water pipeline, power lines and range wash that will affect street alignments and future hearings.
At the public hearing on the Tule Springs East Area Plan, Bob Groenauer, representing KB Home, told the council his company supports the project but wants attention to roadway geometry and underground utilities that could affect developable parcels.
Groenauer said developers and city staff have been meeting on design issues and told the council that in one corridor "we have a 72 inch, pipeline water line" and that other constraints — power lines and a range wash — make the originally mapped alignment difficult to construct. He said KB Home expects to return to planning commission hearings in coming months with a master streets and highways amendment and that the company may request shifting an alignment about a quarter-mile to the east.
Groenauer emphasized his remarks were for the record and that any action at the meeting did not affect KB Home's upcoming applications. Council acknowledged the comment and proceeded to approve the related resolution for the area plan.
