can be modified at this point without exposing the project to contractor damage issues or unnecessary contract delays as part of the grant award. The sketch plan can accommodate the alignment of the trail; however, there are potential grade/elevation conflicts that will need to be explored in more detail with the Preliminary Plat. The proposed plat contemplates fill within identified floodplain boundaries. It does not appear that any fill is being proposed within floodways. By introducing fill within a floodplain boundary in order to create building pad sites, a Letter of Map Revision approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) shall be required. The Applicant has requested that the City consider constructing the required Stage I and Stage II Improvements (public improvements such as streets and utilities) as a City Improvement Project, then assessing the costs back to the benefited properties. The City Council will be considering this request parallel to this subdivision request. An Assessment Agreement as part of the standard Development Agreement shall be required. Funding Source: All costs associated with processing the Application are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Applicant proceed to preparing the Preliminary Plat, acknowledging that there are potential conflicts as identified in the Staff Review Letter that will need to be reviewed and coordinated in greater detail with the Preliminary Plat. Given the number of lots, surrounding built environment, and lack of significant opposition from the surrounding area, the general concept of the proposed subdivision appears to be acceptable provided that the details identified can be mitigated. Action: By consensus, direct the Applicant to begin preparing a Preliminary Plat for review.
