The Planning Manager also recommends a waiver to the maximum
cul-de-sac length and to the minimum one acre lot size.
In March and April, 2007, the Planning Commission denied a
preliminary plat of River Ranch due to the number of lots
proposed on a single outlet street.
The latest revision has the subdivision being developed in two
phases with Phase One being served by a cul-de-sac approximately
1,320' in length and built with a 60' wide right-of-way, 20'
wide concrete pavement and open ditches. Eighteen lots will
be served by this street. Lot sizes will vary from 0.852 acres
to 1.174 acres. The Subdivision Regulations state that a single
outlet rural residential cul-de-sac shall not exceed 800 feet
in length. Lots must be a minimum of one acre in size. The
Subdivision Regulations also allow no more than 24 lots on a
single outlet rural street. The subdivision, as submitted,
will conform to this regulation.
Phase Two will consist of another six lots each 0.925 acres
in size served by a cul-de-sac approximately 680' in length
with a 60' right-of-way, 20' wide concrete pavement and open
ditches.

The Major Street and Highway Plan designates Reins Road as
a Major Collector. As such, a 100' minimum right-of-way is
required. The subdivision plat shows a 20' right-of-way
dedication along the west side of Reins Road.
Meeker Municipal Water District will provide water service to
this development through an existing 8" main located on the
east side of Reins Road. Each homeowner will be responsible
for installing and maintaining their own approved wastewater
disposal system.
The Subdivision Regulations also require that sidewalks be
constructed along all arterial and collector streets. Reins
Road is classified as a Major Collector.
This item was sent to all interested parties. The developer,
DD#6 and the County Engineer have met and agreed on a solution
to the drainage situation on Reins Road.
Exhibits are attached.
