Public Hearing, Gerald Rehbein, southeast corner of Main Street and 21st Avenue, Preliminary Plat for Clearwater Creek Business Park Chair Schaps declared the public hearing opened at 6:43 p.m. Mr. Brixius explained that T & G Properties Inc. has requested preliminary plat approval for an eight -lot commercial subdivision entitled Clearwater Creek Business Center. The subject 23.3 -acre site is located south of Main Street between I -35E and the eastern boundary of the City of Centerville. The property is zoned General Business (GB), and lies within the MUSA. Mr. Brixius indicated that he met with Mr. Rehbein regarding this project earlier in December. A number of configuration issues were raised at that time. Generally, the proposed lots exceed the minimum 20,000 - square -foot area requirement, ranging in size from 1.4 to 2.5 acres. All proposed lots also exceed the minimum lot width requirement with the exception of Lot 2, Block 1, which is recommended for expansion in order to provide consistency throughout the subdivision. Although Staff recommended approval of the preliminary plat at this time, Mr. Brixius suggested that, in the event there is a buyer for Lot 1 only, at the time of final platting consideration be given to platting all but Lot 1 as an outlot allowing for flexibility in marketing the balance of the site on a parcel by parcel basis with minor modification to the preliminary plat. The proposed subdivision project would include the upgrading of 21st Avenue to include bituminous surfacing. The western one -half of this roadway lies within the jurisdiction of the City of Centerville. A 60 -foot right -of -way width is proposed for Northern Lights
