July 12, 2017 Centerville City Council Page 2 of 7 Peltier Estates - Rezoning and Plat 5) 120 -Day Rule - Plat. Per State statute, the preliminary plat application must be acted on within 120 days of the date of application, June 2, 2017. That deadline expires September 29, 2017. The plat application is missing significant information and analysis, and is not ready for consideration or a decision. The Planning Commission passed a recommendation to the City Council (see below), which I recommend the City Council accept, but take no action on the plat. There is time within this 120 -day window to review and decide on the preliminary plat. 6) Informal Plat Review. As was discussed extensively at the meeting and in our memos to the Planning Commission, we don't have all the information needed to make a recommendation on the plan. There are significant issues to resolve. If the Council wishes to discuss the plat informally with the applicant, that is their choice. Such discussion may help the applicant address some of the issues, but we would caution that there may be information in the analysis yet to be done that could influence the design of the plat. I suggest the City Council schedule another workshop meeting at a later date with the applicant once there is more information to share. 7) Current plat submittal. As discussed here and in previous memoranda, we would recommend denial of the plat as currently submitted, due to incomplete information submitted, lots being placed on delineated wetlands, and the creation of several substandard lots with little or no rear yard that is outside of wetlands. Rather than deny the plat, we suggest the process above, discussing the plat at a later date once we have more information. a a,IIhIIhIIIIh;a rrIIYrrIIrrli h AcIIIIaI°h Ja„ IIy 11, 2017 The Planning Commission voted to send a message or statement to the City Council, not quite a recommendation, on the rezoning and preliminary plat. My paraphrase of the motion is: Planning Commission moves to send a statement to the City Council on the Peltier Estates rezoning and plat applications that R -2A zoning is acceptable on the property when accompanied by a low density concept plan. The Commission prefers a cul-de-sac versus a through street and requests all lots have adequate building pads plus rear yard space that are upland, not wetland. The recommendation assumes all engineering and stormwater related issues are reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. (Passed 4-1) The Planning Commission's motion is generalized and points to a number of basic issues that need to be resolved before the plat can be reviewed in detail. Bringing it up for substantive discussion does not seem to serve a purpose at this point. Dr",;,iii W1II1I cra i t uUll 1y i i nfiirld �,
