SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Erie Highlands Filing 18 Final Plat is the last residential filing of the Erie Highlands neighborhood. The Filing is located in the eastern portion of Erie Highlands, at the cross streets of Glacier Drive and Highview Drive. The project finalizes 116 townhome lots that will among other things, help Erie Highlands fulfill its Housing Diversity Requirement from the UDC. This application is also consistent with the previously approved Erie Highlands Preliminary Plat No. 5.
The Development Agreement (DA) includes standard Town of Erie requirements to develop the site as well as exhibits outlining phasing and cost estimates for the public improvements the developer will install. These improvements include streets and sidewalks, right-of-way landscaping and irrigation, utilities, and private improvements with public importance.
The Development Agreement reflects provisions negotiated by Town staff with the Town Attorney’s counsel and the property owner, Clayton Properties Group. The DA includes, among other typical Town language, provisions addressing fees and public improvements, including reimbursements to the Town for public improvements.
