PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
FILE NO.: S-1270
(JANUARY 6, 2000)
Pat McGetrick was present, representing the application. Staff
briefly described the proposed preliminary plat, noting that
there were no outstanding issues.
Lloyd Black addressed the Commission in opposition to the
proposed plat. He noted that there were Bill of Assurance
issues of concern. He requested that the item be deferred so
that he could meet with the developer.
Albert Hudson also addressed the Commission. He concurred with
Mr. Black's concerns. He noted that he did not have enough time
to study the proposed Bill of Assurance. He also requested that
the item be deferred.
Pat McGetrick addressed the Commission in support of the
application. He stated that the residential structures which
will be built on the proposed lots will be larger than the homes
in Pecan Lake. He noted that he would work with the Pecan Lake
Neighborhood Association regarding the proposed Bill of
Assurance.
Stephen Giles, City Attorney, explained the Bill of Assurance
process to the Commission. He noted that the Planning
Commission does not have the authority to regulate Bills of
Assurance.
Mr. Hudson asked why a bill of assurance was filed with a
preliminary plat.
There was a brief discussion of this issue. Jim Lawson,
Director of Planning and Development, and Mr. Giles explained
that the City nor the Planning Commission could regulate the
content of a bill of assurance, only the format.
There was a motion to approve the preliminary plat as
recommended by staff. The motion passed with a vote of 11 ayes
and 0 nays.
