Attached is a copy of the Findings of Fact and Order. The Commission unanimously approved the Findings of Fact on March 23, 2015. Minor subdivision approvals are valid for one year. However, due to a clerical error the Sundance Minor subdivision was granted a three year approval. In addition, four extensions were granted extending the preliminary plat approval to January 22, 2020. An Improvements Agreement is required for this subdivision for the following improvements: lot frontage sidewalks, subdivision street improvements, street frontage landscaping, park improvements, and recreation pathway improvements. Based on the summary review provided below, the City Engineering Department and Department of Community Development have reviewed the application against the conditions of preliminary plat approval; and as a result, find that the Final Plat application may be approved by the City Commission. Three (3) original mylars of the Final Plat, original Platting Certificate, property owner association documents, improvements agreement, and a copy of the Findings of Fact and Order are attached for your review. The Community Development staff respectfully requests that you prepare City Attorney's Certificates using the attached original Platting Certificates as updated; approve the Certificates of Director of Public Works and Certificate of Completion "as to form". The final City signatures will be obtained once the City Commission has approved the final plats. A completed application was submitted to the Community Development Department on December 3, 2019, upon receipt of an acceptable letter of credit for financially guarantee uninstalled subdivision improvements. 11 Page 2 of 2 Provisional completeness is granted subject to a revised Platting Certificate and a financial guarantee for landscape improvements. The 20-day (working days) review period for this final plat will initiate once the aforementioned items are received. The conditions of preliminary plat approval, which are pertinent to this minor subdivision and how they have been met, are described in the submittal materials. Note: The Community Development Department and Engineering Department have also reviewed the final plat application against the preliminary plat cited code provisions and found compliance with these code requirements. The Engineering Department has also reviewed and approved the “closure” of the final plat. The project is scheduled for consideration by the City Commission on December 23, 2019. Please let me know if this will not work.
