(2) Waiver of sidewalks along Hinson. (3) An alternate plan (Lots 1-3) be platted as a single lot with the cul-de-sac, Hickory Creek Cove East, being eliminated and included in the revised Lot 1 as shown on the alternate plan; also allow the immediate platting of the revised Lot 1 without any additional improvements being required. The staff spoke against any change in the requirements for construction of the street. The Applicant, Mr. Clint Boshears, then explained that it was a "matter of economics" that forced him to develop Phase IV instead of Phase II. He identified the request as a "phasing conflict" which he would resolve by building the streets when the last phase of the project is built.
