Presentation <br /> Senior Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approval of the <br /> Preliminary Plat, contingent upon compliance with staff s review comments. <br /> Commissioner Bauer asked why there is a 12-month expiration on preliminary plats. <br /> Planning Manager Larson replied that length of time could be adjusted,but the purpose is to ensure <br /> that an approved plat does not sit for years as times and regulations could change then prior to <br /> construction. He stated that there are allowances for time extensions and some applicants do <br /> request that extension of time. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson replied that final plats are valid for two years. <br /> Commissioner Bauer stated that he would think more time would be allowed between preliminary <br /> and final plat as the applicant would still need to come back for final plat and therefore if conditions <br /> change, that could be addressed at that time. <br /> Planning Manager Larson noted the element of public engagement and notice, as if plans sit for <br /> too long, people will forget about it. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson noted that the notification requirement is only triggered for preliminary <br /> plat, not final plat. <br /> Commissioner Bauer asked for details on the comments from staff and the different departments <br /> and asked for an update on the progress on those items. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson replied that almost all the comments have been addressed noting that <br /> only some minor comments are left to address that would not impact the layout or design of the <br /> plans. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Jason Palmby, applicant, stated that one of the primary issues for the delay was the market <br /> conditions and projected cost. He stated that many things have changed since then and they are <br /> moving forward to the Council with both the preliminary and final plat requests. <br /> Chairperson Gengler noted the reduction of ten units and asked for details. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson commented that the overall number of units did not change, but the split <br /> between phases did change and therefore the first phase has ten less units. <br /> Daryl Snow, 14642 Sapphire Street NW, asked the developer to provide details on anticipated <br /> street closures. He stated that since moving here about one year ago they have found that there <br /> are no playgrounds for children with the exception of crossing Bunker and asked if there have been <br /> any mentions of a playground. <br /> Planning Commission/August 22, 2024 <br /> Page 4 of 9 <br />
