By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik I); Background: The proposed plat of Chesmut Hill is located generally north of Industry Blvd., between Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. and Nowthen Blvd..N.W. The approved preliminary plat contained 56 acres proposed to be subdivided into 100 single family urban residential lots. The plat is one of three developments (Chesmut Hill, Cedar Acres, Windemere Woods) for which tax increment financing will be used to finance the public improvements. At this time, the developer is requesting final plat approval of that part of the proposed plat which is to be included in Phase I of the joint residential development project. Phase I consists of 14 lots. Block 2 contains 4 lots which will be served by a common driveway to be consumcted on a 60 foot wide utility easement. The 4 lots on Block 2 will require a variance to street frontage requirements. The City should also require that there be a maintenance agreement for the common driveway and that the agreement be subject to the City's approval prior to issuance of certificates of occupancy for any of the lots on Block 2. As you may recall, on May 31, 1991, the City executed development agreements for the three tax increment financing residential projects. The development agreement for Chesmut Hill did not address the circumstances of Block 2 and an addendum to the development agreement has been drafted accordingly.
