Preliminary Plat and Conditions of Approval Modifications
February 12, 2021
This application proposes minor modifications to Conditions of Approval # 3 and #8 in addition to Code
Correction #13.
1. Condition of Approval #3 Modification. This condition is proposed to be slightly modified to reflect
development restrictions on the four ‘restricted lots’—as a non-financial guarantee of subdivision
improvements. Red text denotes added wording, and strikethroughs denote wording removed.
Note that Lot 1 Block is now proposed as a restricted lot in accordance with the proposed Phasing
Plan. Plan review was added as an alternate means of lifting development restrictions. Minor
grammatical inconsistencies and code references were corrected. Proposed wording for Condition
#3 is shown below. There are two versions of this condition based on whether the variance is
approved. The first version shows timing of infrastructure completion as proposed if the variance is
approved. If the variance is not approved, the language would be changed to the timing
requirements stated in the current code, as shown in the second version.
Wording if Variance is approved:

2. Condition of Approval #8 Modification. Since the phasing plan changes the required SUD Phase 3
subdivision improvements, this affects Conditions of Approval #8, which references the original
extent of the subdivision improvements. The wording of this condition will not change, but the
referenced plan sheets C 1.0 and C 1.1 have been updated to clearly show the new extent of the SUD
Phase 3 subdivision improvements.

subdivision improvements.
