The plat consisted of 60 acres to be developed with 20 single family rural residential lots. The time flame for filing for final plat approval expired in December of 1990. In accordance with City Code, the developers have requested and received extensions to that time frame from the City Council. Since about January of this year, the developers have been working with City Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission to obtain a revision to their preliminary plat. One of the revisions was rejected by the Planning and Zoning Commission in May and the developers chose not to proceed to City Council with it. Two more revisions were presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 16 and one was selected by the Commission to proceed to a public hearing. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at their regular meeting in August and recommended City Council approval of the proposed revised preliminary plat. In summary, the revisions in the proposed revised preliminary plat vary from the approved preliminary plat in the following ways: a) the through street at Juniper Ridge Drive was replaced with a cul-de-sac; b) an access from 153rd has been added that connects with Juniper Ridge Drive; c) creates an additional cul-de-sac at the northeast comer of the plat. The through street at Oneida Su'eet was retained. The revised street alignment would increase thc number of lots from 20 to 25 for an average density of one unit per 2.4 acres. (Thc City Engineer will present an exhibit at the Council meeting which reflects thc proposed changes in the plat). The plat is being reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission on August 8 to reaffirrn park dedication requirements. At the previous review, the Commission recommended that park dedication be satisfied by a combination of land and cash. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) Site location map Preliminary plat approved on December 19, 1989 Memo from Project Manager Jim Gromberg dated July 29, 1991 City Engineer's review letter dated July 31,1991 The plat will be subjected to a final review by the Park and Recreation Commission on August 8, 1991.
