Submitted for your review are 30 sets of the preliminary plat for Westchase Village
Section 5, along with the $300.00 application fee. The drainage calculations are also
attached for your review and approval.
We would like to appear before the Planning Commission on August 18, 2003.
Also, we are requesting a variance to the temporary cul-de-sac usually required at the
temporary cast end of Deer Chase Drive. The variance is requested for the following
reasons.
1. Lots 13 and 28 are only 75 feet from the intersection of Deer Chase Drive and
Whisper Wind Drive.
2. Emergency vehicles and garage trucks can use the aforementioned "T"
intersection for turn arounds.
3. House layouts and driveways will be located to eliminate any need for the
temporary cul-de-sac.
Thank you for your consideration. Should you have any questions or comments please
do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
