Councilmember Heineman stated he would agree with the City’s purchase of the outlot with the understanding that it would be transferred. The developer stated the preference of Lennar would be to give the outlot to the City. He added he would be okay with the City contacting the existing homeowners about inheriting the outlot. Councilmember Riley asked whether there would be any cost to replat the outlot into smaller lots. He added he would not want to incur City costs to give the outlots away. The developer stated the cost would be related to the lot split process and deed to each of 5 properties, but that would be a City-driven process. He added he agrees the outlot would need to be in City possession first. He noted he would need to check timelines at the County to make sure that this process does not inhibit Lennar’s ability to install utilities and do street work this fall, as most of the site grading is done.
