REQUEST
DETAILS:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Variance to the Subdivision Ordinance No.
483, Section 4.01(I) (Plat Expiration), as amended, and is requesting that the validity of
Case No. ZA14-072, Final Plat for Union Church Estates, be extended for an additional
60 days to September 17, 2015.
Section 4.01(I) states that a Final Plat which has not been recorded in the County Plat
Records within one year of the date of approval shall expire. The Final Plat was
approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on July 17, 2014. Final plats for
subdivisions requiring the installation of streets and utilities are typically not recorded
until these improvements have been installed and are ready to be accepted by the City.
This ensures that street right-of-ways and easements are correctly shown based on
as-built conditions and also ensures that all the new lots of record are properly served
by streets and utilities. The Final Plat for this development has not been recorded due
to ongoing construction of utilities and streets and has thus expired. The plat will be
recorded within the next 60 days.
The applicant is requesting an extension of 60 days. If approved, the new expiration
date for the Final Plat for Union Church Estates would be September 17, 2015.
ACTION NEEDED: Consider approval of a Variance to the plat expiration date
