The final plat consists of two (2) sheets prepared by Westwood Professional Services, Inc. The submittal also includes a 3-sheet set of Grading, Drainage & Erosion Control Plan, Details, Profiles (Sheet 1 is dated 5/24/02, revised 2/4/03; Sheet 2 is dated 7/9/02, revised 2/4/03; Sheet 3 is dated 5/24/02, revised 7/22/02). There is a 6-sheet set of Construction Plans dated 1/17/03; Sheets 4 and 6 have revisions dates of 2/4/03. Finally, there is a one-sheet Drainage Area and Storm Sewer System Plan dated 2/15/02, revision date 12/4/02. All plans were also prepared by Westwood Professional Services. We offer the following comments: General: Fhe subject property is the third and final phase of a preliminary plat approved on September 11, 2001, that contained 157 single family lots. The first phase final plat consisted of 58 lots; the second phase platted an additional 64 lots; this final phase consists of the remaining 35 lots approved on the preliminary plat. Preliminary Plat: City Code states that preliminary plats are valid for one year from the date of approval. The preliminary plat was approved by City Council on September 11, 2001 and it expired on September I1, 2002. Prior to considering this :request for final plat approval, the City Council will have to approve your request for an extension of the preliminary plat. City Staff will support the preliminary plat extension on the basis that the records reflect that the development was intended to occur in 3 phases over a period exceeding one year. The proposed final plat of the 3rd Addition substantially conforms to the approved preliminary plat. 3. Lot Sizes and Dimensions. The 35 lots proposed meet the 80 foot lot width and 10,800 square foot minimum lot size requirements of City Code. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan: In an effort to continue with grading into the 3rd Addition when the 2nd Addition was developed, the Developer submitted the Final Grading Plan for both additions at the same time to balance the soil on site. The Grading Plans are acceptable. I I I I I I I I I I i I I I I I I
