Recommendation:      That the Council adopt Resolution A, as attached to the Staff Report, approving the subdivision with the following changes to the stipulations:

• Stipulation #11 revised to require installment of traffic calming devices rather than payment for future installation, text to read:  Prior to opening the Amesbury Drive connection, the applicant shall install traffic calming devices within the Town limits on Amesbury Drive and Sweeten Creek Road, with the final type, design, and location to be reviewed and approved by the Town Manager prior to issuance of a Zoning Compliance Permit.

• Stipulation #12 revised to require sidewalk on the east side of Sunrise Road rather than both sides of Sunrise Road.

• Stipulation #21, regarding a pedestrian path to open space, to be deleted entirely.

• Stipulation #29, revised to clarify stormwater improvements shall not extend beyond the upland corridor zone of the Resource Conservation District (rather than prohibiting intrusion into the entirety of the RCD).

• Stipulation #51, regarding Construction Management, the following text added:  That the plan prohibit the use of Ginger Road and any street in Chandlers Green for access by construction vehicles prior to the completion of all infrastructure improvements for the entire development.

• Stipulation added requiring fencing around the detention basin near the proposed tot lot.
