AGENDA ITEM 7 C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser C.C. MEETING DATE: July 24, 2000 TOPIC: Final Plat, Clearwater Creek 4th Addition and Development Agreement CITY COUNCIL ACTION: 3/5 vote BACKGROUND The City Council approved the preliminary plat for Clearwater Creek 3rd Addition on April 12. The preliminary plat includes lots for 239 new houses and 7 existing houses, for a total of 246 lots. A final plat for the first phase (3rd Addition) was approved in September 1999. The 4th Addition is the next phase. The 4th Addition includes 56 lots. The development agreement is ready including financial guarantees. The City Attorney reviewed the title work and found it in order. The final plat substantially conforms with the approved preliminary plat. The preliminary plat approval in April 1999 included a number of conditions. Several of the conditions merit discussion, here. One was that the project include an open space management plan. Like the 3rd Addition, this will be part of the development agreement for the 4th Addition and will be backed by financial guarantees. Typically, staff ensures that a development agreement is complete before bringing a final plat to the Council for approval. The conditions of approval on this project require that the development agreement is to be reviewed by the City Council. This came from questions about development agreements in general and how certain elements of this project would be addressed. Since the condition was part of the approval on this project, we have attached the development agreement for the 4th Addn., as we did for the 3rd Addn. final plat. The agreement can be approved at the same time as the approval of the final plat. Another condition of approval specified limits on the number of building permits that can be issued in the development on a year -by -year basis. Permits not issued one year can be carried over to the next year. As shown in the tables below, the 4th Addition will carry the development through year 2001.
