Commissioner Kempton inquired about the egress streets. Administrator Parkinson explained that Teton Vu Drive will be a public road that not only provides access to this subdivision, but will connect to future developments to the East. He noted the additional connections to the Northeast and to Stegelmeier Lane and indicated the remaining roads will be privately owned and maintained by the HOA. The group discussed the subdivision’s proximity to city limits and the non-residential traffic in the area.

Commissioner Kempton expressed no issues with the plat. Commissioner Muir asked about sidewalk connectivity, especially to the bike path.
