Paul Oland, representing the property owner WLB Group, described the potential traffic
calming designs for members of the Board. Mr. Oland explained the site plan
was designed to maximize lot sizes as well as conserve the washes. The developer felt
the larger lots on the exterior of the plan, and smaller lots on the interior, combined with
the natural trails would be best to preserve the natural landscape. Mr. Oland stated
that the developer has been working with Amphi School District regarding the traffic
impacts to both Wilson and Ironwood Ridge schools. The vacant land to the east of the
development would be available for future development.
