As a result of the staff and Subdivision Committee reviews,
staff is requiring that the following items be noted on a
revised preliminary plat:

and 4.
Lots 1 (1.63 acres) and 2 (7.61 acres) are zoned C-2. The
minimum lot size for C-2 zoned property is 5 acres.
However, Lots 1 and 2 are proposed to be rezoned to PCD
which has no minimum lot size. Therefore, if the PCD is not
approved or is never developed, then Lots 1 and 2 must be
final platted as a single lot or the preliminary plat must
be brought back to the Planning Commission to address the
appropriate variances. Otherwise, staff can foresee no
other outstanding issues associated with this plat.
H. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject to
compliance with paragraphs D, E and G of this report.
