2025.05.28_Goddard_Consolidation_Plat_Signed_for_CC_Review-1.pdf

The preliminary site plan was approved last year with comments incorporated. The plat was
ready for recordation then the construction would begin. The traffic impact analysis comments
from the State Highway Administration stated that if the Greenside Plan had not yet been
approved, then fees in lieu should be extracted from the developer for future improvements at the
Aldino Stepney and Rt. 22 intersection. The developer would place $40,000 into a reserve fund
to pay for future transportation improvements.

C.2 Preliminary Site Plan for The Reserve at Greenside (For Discussion)

The Council discussed that there were 882 dwellings to be constructed on the land known as
Wetlands Golf Course. This was the biggest project that had been before the Planning
Commission and the Council for preliminary site plan approval. Different components of the
project had been vetted such as the school capacity, traffic patterns, road network, etc. The
Council discussed changes to the County road network: roads converted to asphalt, 2-lane circle,
reconfiguring intersections for safety, and how improvements could be made to County roads for
Aberdeen projects. They discussed the complications involved between the state, county, and
developers dealing with traffic improvements. Conditional approvals by the Council and the
timeline for these matters were considered.

D) CLOSED MEETING

The Council decided to have the closed meeting during a regular meeting that night.

E) ADJOURNMENT

Being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 6:49 p.m.
