An application was submitted to the Community Development Department on May 10, 2016 and amended on June 28, 2016. Based on the applicant having submitted a complete application on June 22 and 28, 2016 for final plat review and approval, and further finding that after receiving revised materials the application was deemed complete on July 5, 2016, the 45-day (working

The conditions of preliminary plat approval, which are pertinent to this major subdivision and how they have been met are described in the submittal materials. An exception to this are that it was determined that a subdivision improvements agreements are required for uninstalled sidewalks and landscaping.
