Background
On June 3, 2019, the applicant received approval of a preliminary plat from the city council for a subdivision known as Elizabeth Marie Estates that includes 3.61 acres and 7 single family lots. Since that date, the developer has not made any progress towards submitting the final plat for this property. At this time the applicant would like to obtain a one year extension on the preliminary plat approval. The applicant was delayed by the watershed district permitting and plans to start construction in the spring.
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.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
