| Volunteers are
needed to review and provide public input as changes are made and these additional portions are
designed. |
| Jackson Creek Vision Development, Inc.
has designed a realignment of several of the roads shown in the Regency
Park Development Plan. These changes are shown in the Triview Metropolitan District Street Plan. Click here to read
the proposed Triview Metro Street Plan on-line
or download it. |
| This project is closely tied to the Baptist
Road Oversight Project. |
| The Triview
Metro District
provides water, sewer, and road construction and maintenance. |
| April 26, 2001: At the Triview
Metro
District Board meeting, it was reported that
 | There are currently 292 occupied
houses in Jackson Creek. |
| Building permits have been obtained
for 141 more. |
| A total of 580 lots have been platted
with 2000 more planned. |
| Mike Davenport, the Monument Planner
and Assistant Town Manager, reported that plans are currently being
reviewed by the Town for about 200 lots. |
|
| September 27, 2001: At the Triview Metro District Board meeting the
following points were made about the Jackson Creek development: 
| The Jackson Creek project is preparing a revised zoning map
showing the approved projects and latest plans. The Monument Board
of Trustees will hold a hearing on the revised zoning map. |
| $2.5 million of additional bonds at 9% interest were approved.
Total outstanding debt for the District exceeds $12 million. |
| Water and sewer tap fees stand at $8,550 per house. That was
described as $3,000
to $4,000 lower than other local jurisdictions. |
| Classic Homes will redo the trail though the Heights in Jackson
Creek. |
|
|
| The Carriages at
Jackson Creek
| A zoning change from PRD-4 to PRD-10 for The Carriages at Jackson Creek at the
southwest corner of Leather Chaps and Lyons Tail Road has been requested as
an amendment to the Regency Park Development and Zoning
Plan. |
| PRD-4 is intended for four single family
equivalents (SFE) per acre. PRD-10 would allow multi-family dwellings
and up to 10 SFE per acre. The developer has said their intent is a
gross density not to exceed 6 SFE per acre. However, if the rezoning is
approved, a plan proposing 10 SFE per acre would be in compliance with
the zoning. |
| The Public Works
Committee is still working to resolve issues regarding right-of-way (ROW)
width and public vs. private roads. There may also be an issue with common parking area for guests. The
developer is proposing 50' ROW private roads. This appears to
be counter to a Monument Town ordinance requirement for 60' ROW public road
access. |
| Allowing for 60' ROW roads would probably require a reduction in the
number of units being proposed. |
| At the Public Works Committee meeting August 16th, The Carriages at Jackson Creek developer announced that they
have been unable to develop a satisfactory plan using 60' ROW public
roads and intend to continue to pursue 50' ROW private roads. The developer plans to request
an opinion from the Monument Town
Attorney regarding the ordinance requirement for public roads. |
| April 26, 2001: At the Triview
Metro District Board meeting, it was announced that the builder has
decided to abandon the rezoning request and build single family houses
instead of multi-family. This resulted in a net reduction of two units.
Due to the increased price for single family houses, the profit to the
developer is expected to be about the same. |
|
| The Middle School
| The school to be called Creekside Middle
School is scheduled to open in August 2001. It will be three stories,
have a footprint of 83,000 sq. ft., and a total of 160,000 sq. ft. It
will handle about 500 students initially. |
| Originally, a $29K sewage lift station
was to be used due to the terrain; however, a horizontal drilling
technique has been used to create a gravity sewer with about a 1% slope.
Unfortunately, there are currently two sags in the alignment of the pipe
which must be corrected by the contractor, Corecon. Since the lift
station was ordered and partially completed, the termination cost would
be about $14.5K.The Triview District will determine whether to pay the
termination cost or take delivery and try to find another use for the
lift station. |
| The current design calls for 64
irrigation stations for the playing fields and landscaping. 18 acres of
Kentucky Blue Grass are planned. This type of lawn is very water
intensive. It requires about 36" of water per year. The school is
projected to use 90,000 gallons of water per day. If the Triview District can get permission from the County Health Department, they plan
to bring treated water from the sewage treatment plant to the school
site for irrigation. |
