Background
Note: This plat was originally approved in 2014. At the same time the City was exploring with Harpers Street property owners the possibility of a regional storm water project. That project lacked support by the various property owners as it was felt to be too expensive. This plat will therefore need to be address storm water by creating a storm pond on two of the originally proposed lots, thus making this a 12- lot development rather than 14 lots. The plat language and conditions have been updated to reflect the current conditions.
In October of 2015, the applicant received approval of a preliminary plat one year extension from the City Council for a subdivision known as Sarah Jean Estates that includes 5 acres and 12 lots and an outlot for storm water. Since that date, the developer has not made any progress towards submitting the final plat for this property. The applicant has been working on completing similar single family projects on the west side of Blaine (Jackson Street) and anticipates starting the project in Spring/Summer 2017. At this time the applicant would like to obtain a one year extension on the preliminary plat approval.
The plat extension does not change any conditions of the plat other than updating some of the development fee numbers. The only thing the extension does is allow the property owners more time.
If the extension is approved by the City Council the final plat will need to be submitted for City approval prior the expiration of the one year extension.
