TUSCAN FOOTHILL VILLAGE
(Page 2 of 3)
NOTES FROM THE 3/14 COMMUNITY MEETING - A community meeting to discuss the Tuscan Foothill
Village proposals took place on Tuesday, March 14 at Eagleview Middle School. Representatives from
Thomas & Thomas, Eagle Development Group and The City Planning Department attended to review the
development proposal with residents and homeowners, and to answer questions and concerns about the
development.
The following are items that were noted from the meeting:
- The submitted proposals for Tuscan Foothill Village are public and
are available for review at the City Administration building.
- The developer indicated that the plans would also be available for
review in the Eagle Development offices on Chuckwagon Road (opposite the Canyon Reserve Townhomes).
- The plans probably will not go before the City Planning Commission
before May or June 2006.
- The development proposal calls for a mix of single-family, duplex and
triplex units. The community will be gated and will be accessed primarily through the Mule Deer
and Centennial intersection. There will also be access from the south side of the development.
- No playground is planned for children in the park, but there will be a
swimming pool for Tuscan Foothill Village residents.
- The developer indicated that hiking/walking trails would be built
within the development and would likely connect to the city trail system in the future.
- Based on traffic studies that have been performed, a traffic light is not
planned for the Mule Deer and Centennial intersection, although a pedestrian light may be
considered near the intersection in the future.
- The development proposal did indicate that a retaining wall would
be built along Centennial to compensate for the grade of the property (ground level of the
homes built along Centennial will be 15 feet above the road).
- The retaining wall will not extend the entire distance along Centennial
but will be built in sections.
- The proposal showed significant landscaping planned along both Centennial
Boulevard (the west side) and throughout the Tuscan Foothill Village development itself.
- A geologist, David Harwood, was present at the meeting and explained that
ground samples have been taken and they are aware of drainage and soil concerns and have abatement
plans for correcting.
