City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 28, 2021 of clarification about what happens if the plat is approved and nothing else. He explained that if the developer did not record it and just sat there with approval of the plat in hand, that approval would be good for one year and at that point, the Code and possibly State Statute, would allow for the approval to be invalidated. Mayor Love asked about the earlier comment Administrator Statz had mentioned about tabling this item. Administrator Statz stated that all of these items can be tabled within the timeframe of an additional 60 days, with the initial 60-day period ending sometime next week. He stated that would mean the City would have essentially May and June to make a decision. He cautioned the Council that if they want more time to look at this, he would advise that they not make a motion to deny the request. Mr. Carlson noted that he believes that Preliminary Plats have a 120-day deadline which is not the same as other zoning approvals with a 60-day deadline. City Attorney Glaser confirmed that this item would not need an extension because there is already more time. He stated that if the Council chose to vote down the project, they would usually state the reasons so it could be corrected and brought back to the City. He stated that the Council could also just table this item because there is sufficient time with the 120-day rule, but they can also pass it because it is a Preliminary Plat and it would be subject to further modification and final approval. The Council discussed the Preliminary Plat approval process, the street platting, easements, utilities, drainage, and when things are recorded with the County. Motion by Council Member Lakso, seconded by Council Member Koski, to Approve the Preliminary Plat as Presented. Council Member Koski explained that part of him wanted to look as this as a group but based on what the consultants have shared, he understands that this is just a step and is just drawing property lines and will help clean up the Lot 1 and Lot 1A issue. Mr. Carlson noted that he would like to make sure that the conditions are included in the motion. Motion amended by Council Member Lakso, second amended by Council Member Koski, to Approve the Preliminary Plat with the conditions as included in the staff report. A roll-call vote was taken. Mayor Love and Council Members King, Koski, Lakso & Mosher voted in favor. Motion carried. City Clerk Bender noted that there was a comment made that this would clear up the Abstract and Torrens issue with two of the lots and clarified that she does not believe that Preliminary Plat will take care of that issue. Administrator Statz stated that one of the conditions that was just approved by the Council is the requirement that it be cleaned up prior to Final Plat. Page 10 of 26
