The Council and Planning and Zoning received letter from McClure Engineering North
Liberty for Woodfield Ridge I PAD Site Plan MEC# 325025 for response to input
received from Engineer Hart on March 9 on proposed plans for, Outlof 2. Members
received covenant documents and plans that include 8 four plexes, and 3 two plexes on a
lot of 6.35 acres or a density of 38 total units of 5. 98 units/ acre or approximately. 6 units
per acre. Including 3. 6 acres landscaping, 1. 2 acre buildings, . 8 acre pavement and . 9
acre of-pond. Members noted that they had just received these information documents
with no opportunity for review or study: Engineer Review dated March 21 including 17
items for review and completion also received by city board members.
Hart noted concern about drainage swell and drainage over the curb near intersection and
drainage swell located within 10 feet of unit# 18. Correction should be provided for water
drainage. Hart requested resolution of these two locations. The plan provides for no
sidewalks. Mike Roberts developer explained that he expected people to walk down the
streets. Roberts has similar units in the area of 12th and Oakdale in Coralville if members
would like to get an idea of how this plan might look.
Schmidt asked why Unit 37 and 38 had been pulled into the PAD. Roberts said the new-
purchaser wanted to be part of the Outlot 2 owner' s association and also he thought that
bringing' more of the pond into the Outlot 2 might provide better maintenance of the
entire pond because most of it will be within the association with a uniform care.
Nine visitor parking spaces have been added to the plan, and the units have been reduced
from three bedroom to two bedroom units, this reduced parking space requirements.
