Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 6,2015 Page 9 Nays: None. b. Request by HR LLC for Approval of a FINAL PLAT at 2750 Cleveland Av- enue Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd provided a brief summary of this FINAL PLAT re- quest, with the actual address of the final plat at 2700 Cleveland Avenue (previ- ously listed as 2750 Cleveland Avenue). Mr. Lloyd provided a history of the pro- ject and completion of several of the conditions applied to the previously- approved PRELIMINARY PLAT, as detailed in the RCA dated July 6, 2015. Displaying the Final Plat drawing, Mr. Lloyd advised that staff was recommend- ing approval subject to completion of the remaining eight of ten conditions shown in the RCA. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Lloyd outlined those conditions already ready addressed and those yet to be completed. Councilmember McGehee noted the difficulty in approving this Final Plat without knowing what may develop on this site, which may or may not prove impactful to the area and surrounding properties depending on that actual development. Coun- cilmember McGehee opined that it seemed premature to her to approve a Final Plat until an actual development plan was available. Mr. Lloyd responded that approval of a Final Plat was basically fundamental, and as with any such plat application, the applicant need not produce any real infor- mation about the actual users; even though it may prove more risky for them to develop the property boundaries without that knowledge. Mr. Lloyd defined the purpose in approving a Final Plat to address boundaries and easements without the specific tenants of the development being known at that time. In his brief conversation with the applicant team earlier today, Mr. Lloyd advised that their main concern was Condition 8 as it related to right-out access onto Twin Lakes Parkway, of considerable interest to the development team in securing that access since it impacted what can or cannot be built on the site depending on the needs of a potential users or exact alignment of the roadway. However, even though some of those components are important to use of the site, Mr. Lloyd clar- ified that a specific development plan or defined tenants are not necessary for the Final Plat application and approval process. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Lloyd reviewed the approval process for the Preliminary Plat and public hearing before the Planning Commis- sion and their recommendation for approval to the City Council; and that process providing that the Final Plat is then reviewed and approved by the City Council only, and not the Planning Commission.
