The City <br />REQUEST Administrator indicated that the Preliminary Plat was originally approved <br />FOR on December 20, 2006, and several extensions for fling for Final Plat <br />EXTENSION have been approved. It was also noted that the City's platting standards <br />FOIL FILING have been changed since this Preliminary Plat was approved. The City <br />FOR FINAL Planner reviewed the Canadian Woods Preliminary Plat in relation to <br />PLAT the new standards. Two of the lots do not meet square footage <br /> requirements and five do not meet lot width. It was the Planner's opinion <br /> that applying the new R-1 standards would result in the loss of one lot. <br /> The Administrator noted that Mr. Johnson has also requested that the <br /> Variance approval for cul-de-sac length be extended as well. <br />Blesener stated that his position is that the extension should be denied. hIe <br />felt that the two lots nearest LaBore Road appeared to be too tight. <br />Denying the extension would require Mr. Johnson to begin the platting <br />process again, complying with the new R-1 standards. Blesener indicated <br />that this is his position for the Richie Place Preliminary Plat as well, <br />although approvals have lapsed for that plat. <br />Keis asked why Mr. Johnson has not completed the platting process. The <br />City Administrator noted that once a Final Plat is processed and recorded, <br />the lots become lots of record and are taxed accordingly. At that point <br />street and utility improvements are constructed, and lots sold to recover <br />costs. Given the current economic downturn, developers have not been <br />investing in preparing additional lots. <br />McGraw questioned the number of extensions that the City could end up <br />granting in these situations. He noted that the City has moved to new <br />4 <br />
