REVIEWED BY: Ken Roberts, Planning Director
BACKGROUND
The Wyndham Village Development received Final Plat approval from City Council during the
December 4th 2018 Council meeting. At that time staff unintentionally forgot to include the
appropriate resolution, which would formally memorialize the final plat approval. The resolution is
now being presented to the City Council for approval.

History: A Comprehensive Plan Amendment to re-guide the property from Rural

Council on February 7, 2018 and by Metropolitan Council on March 14,
2018. The Preliminary Plat was approved July 17, 2018 (Resolution No.
2018-066), and an application to rezone the property from Rural Single
Family to Village Low Density Residential was approved July 17, 2018
(Ordinance No. 08-212). The City Council heard and approved the Final Plat
proposal on December 4th 2018 and will formally approve the Final Plat with
Resolution No. 2019-006.

The City Council already approved the development and the final plat. This action will strictly serve
as the formal approval of the Council resolution and is not an opportunity to amend the final plat or
its approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution as it has been presented.
