A variety of housing types in there, including single family duplexes, townhomes, and condos.

So you'll notice this hatching on the area.

I'm going to talk about this here in a second, but that designates this area as a special consideration area.

And basically what that is is a lot of this is unincorporated boulder, and this is unincorporated older open space down here to the south.

So the idea is that you pay some special attention to the transition from these rural areas as you kind of transition into the rural residential and then go into the higher densities with the low density residential.

And so that'll be important in just a second, but I wanted to highlight that for all of Rex Ranch, the annexation called for a total of 133 units.

Filing one has 60 units, filing two is 63, which leaves 10 then to plat in the filing three area.

Altogether, when you look at Rex Ranch as a whole, that comes up to 1.35 units per acre, which is very much in keeping with the rural residential designation on the comprehensive plan.

So this brings me to I'm going to talk about the area special consideration and the request for alternative equivalent compliance for the housing type.

Having a total of 98 acres would normally require three different housing types or two different housing types and one variation.

An overall Rex Ranch is providing one housing type, which is single family, and then variation has to do with the lot sizes.

But given that it's in an area special consideration to create a buffer and a transition from rural to single family to a little higher density.

Staff's recommending that the town grant the AEC or alternative equivalent compliance to the mix of housing types, which would then just allow them to have only single family homes in Rex Ranch with the one variation having to do with different uh lot sizes.

So here's the zoning for the site in the surrounding area.

Rex ranch is all uh zoned as uh low density residential that calls for a max density of five dwelling units per acre, and so like with the conference plan, that's well in keeping with the 1.35 dwelling units per acre proposed for all of Rex Ranch.

It also has a PUD overlay on it.

That's what the star means when you see that next to the zoning.

Basically, uh while back there was a PUD approved for all of Rex Ranch.

Basically, it just allows side setback encroachments for Eve and window well.

So you can see then to the north and the west, this is all zoned uh suburban residential, which is just a little higher density.

This, of course, is the flat iron meadows development over here.

So when we look at subdivisions, we want to look at the parks, open space, and trails that are associated with the overall development.

Um the uh Rex Ranch would require a 0.19 of an acre uh pocket park.

Uh, there is not one in filing one or three, but there is a pocket part well over the um requirement at 0.9 of an acre, and that would serve all of Rex Ranch, and that meets that requirement.

In terms of neighborhood park, community park, and open space, uh all of these things are being handled by Cash and Lou.

Um that's true for filing one, two, and three.

So that's in keeping with what we've established with the other two filings.

This slide again shows all of Rex Ranch with filing three highlighted in the red box.

And what I've tried to show or show on here all the different trail connections throughout the site.

Specifically in filing three, there's a trail connection that comes out to the sidewalk on 119th, uh, and that provides some connection here to the overall community.

It's also a trail down here that's just off site, but you can access it through the uh sidewalks that come up Red Iron Court, and you can see how that's all interconnected, and it's very easy to get around to all of Rex Ranch as a whole.

So I thought that was important to show how that's kind of connecting to everything there.

So on your screen now are the preliminary plat approval criteria.

I've done an analysis on them in your staff report.

They're just up on the screen so that you can see.

Um we have found that the preliminary plat meets all of these approval criteria.

In terms of public notice, the applicant did hold a neighborhood meeting on June 16th, like our public hearing.

He uh hosted that by Zoom.

All of the publishings and postings and notices to adjacent property owners were set out uh in accordance with the UDC.

So staff's recommending that the planning commission for the Rex Ranch number three preliminary plat approval uh let me start over.

I messed up.

We're recommending the planning commission for the Rex Ranch number three preliminary plat application to the Board of Trustees with a recommendation of approval.

We have two conditions on there, and one is just that they have to uh do a development agreement at the time of final plat and then make any.

Oh, I have a typo in there.

I'm sorry about that.

That should say Rex Ranch, um, but that they make any uh technical corrections to the documents as directed by town staff.

So with that, that concludes the staff report.

And the applicant is here tonight.

Um I don't believe they have a presentation prepared, but they're definitely here to answer any questions, as am I.

So thank you, and ready to answer anything that you might have.

All right.

Thanks, Chris.

Um, so this brings us to the public comments on the agenda item.

And um, well, I know that we have Hazel waiting in the in the waiting room.

And do we have any emailed public comments on this?

I have not received any emails.

Okay, so we can we can invite Hazel in the cloud.

Are you able to hear us?

Uh yes, uh, is it okay to comment now?

Yes, we're just gonna ask that you state your name and address for the record, and you will be given three minutes to speak.
