Commissioners approve Red Hawk Ranch filing 1; direct traffic study on County Road 522 closure impacts
Summary
The board approved Red Hawk Ranch final plat (phase 1 — 37 detached 'cabins') and directed staff to pursue a traffic and closure-impact study of County Road 522/522E due to concerns from neighbors and heavy-equipment users; developer must complete Crooked Creek crossing once Army Corps/wetlands permits are secured.
Community Development presented Red Hawk Ranch final plat filing No. 1 for phase 1 (37 multifamily-detached "cabins") and staff recommended approval with standard conditions and final plat requirements (school fees, water-quality mitigation, SIA). A major discussion point was County Road 522 and a potential closure/realignment at the 522E intersection. Staff explained that closure could affect local users (notably Conroy/Conroy Excavating) and that the developer must construct Crooked Creek Crossing once Army Corps and wetland permits are obtained; that crossing would enable further phases.
Public commenters and adjacent landowners raised dust, wildlife, turnaround and long-term road-paving concerns. The developer (Jeff Bogle) said construction best-management practices will be used and that road work is contingent on permits; he confirmed obligations for temporary turnarounds during construction and longer-term crossing construction when permits are secured. The board approved the final plat for phase 1 and directed staff to pursue a traffic-impact study (and allowed staff to select a consultant after review) to examine closure impacts and alternatives including potential paving of a short unpaved segment of County Road 522.
