CC Regular Session 5. 6. Meeting Date: 08/23/2022 By: Brian McCann, Community Development Information Title: Adopt Resolution #22-177 Approving North Brook Meadows Preliminary Plat Extension (Project No. 21-131); Case of Landform Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to review a proposal from Landform on behalf of Platinum Land, LLC (the "Applicant") to extend the North Brook Meadows Preliminary Plat (the "Project") three (3) years. Notification: No notification is required to extend a preliminary plat; however, there has been significant notification of this project at time of preliminary plat (notice sent to property owners within 700 feet of the site). Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: Summary Preliminary plat approvals are valid for one (1) year, and it has been almost a year since the preliminary plat for North Brook Meadows was approved. In order to reduce the number of individual extensions and approvals for this project, Staff and the Applicant are in favor of a three (3) year extension. The Applicant has stated the purpose of the extension is to allow for the property to the south (the Trott Brook Crossing development) to develop and extend the sewer and water utilities to North Brook Meadows. The Applicant will still be required to bring forward any final plat (or phase) for City Council approval. This approval would lock in the preliminary plat approved by City Council in September 2021 for three (3) additional years. This preliminary plat approval included seventy-seven (77) single-family homes. Alternatives Alternative 1: Adopt Resolution #22-177 and extend the preliminary plat approval for three (3) years. This is a typical request with a subdivision of this scale. Typically, developers will phase developments that are this large in order to build a reasonable number of homes and sell those homes as they build. Extending the preliminary plat will still require that the Applicant comes forward with Final Plat plans for approval at each future stage, but will create a more efficient process overall so that the preliminary plat does not need to be extended after each year. Staff is supportive of this alternative. Alternative 2: Deny Resolution #22-177. As noted above, this is not necessarily an unusual request for a development project of this scale. This is a reasonable request for this project, and Staff is supportive of the request to improve efficiencies in the future and present final plat plans. Staff is not supportive of this alternative. Funding Source: The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with review. Recommendation: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution #22-177. Outcome/Action:
