November 16, 2021 Page 4 When this project was initially conceived, the applicants utilized the PUD process to define the various aspects of the proposal, including Architecture, Site Planning, Grading and Drainage control, Utility services, Emergency vehicle response, and every other factor. With the PUD in place, development details are specified under the terms of the PUD zoning and development agreements. As such, the subdivision raises very few new issues that have not already been addressed by the PUD zoning. The standard for reviewing a Preliminary Plat is whether the proposed plat conforms to the requirements of the applicable zoning, and the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. As noted, the applicable zoning in this case is the Silver Lake Village PUD, which will be unaffected by the subdivision. When Preliminary Plat is granted, the applicant obtains some specific development rights, subject to meeting any attached preliminary plat conditions, and final plat processing. Final Plat. The Final Plat is the recorded document that establishes the new parcel and boundaries. The Final Plat is a simple map of the proposed subdivision land, without the development details shown on the Preliminary Plat. The standard for reviewing a Final Plat is very simple: does it conform to the requirements and conditions of Preliminary Plat approval. If so, the City’s role in Final Plat consideration is typically administrative. The Final Plat drawing is reviewed to ensure that it reflects preliminary requirements, and is then ready for recording. The proposed Final Plat is consistent with the submitted Preliminary Plat. Subject to final staff review, the plat appears to be the proper form for approval and recording. Grading, Drainage, and Utilities. Issues related to grading, drainage and utilities should be subject to comment and recommendation by the City Engineer. The City Engineer has reviewed the project at the PUD stage, and has noted that issues related to civil plans will require final construction review, but none that will impact the Preliminary Plat documents or the general site planning. Final engineering and public works review of these aspects of the plan would be a condition of Plat approval. Development Agreement. As a condition of Final Plat approval, the applicant would be required to enter into a development agreement with the City and post all the necessary securities required by it. While the PUD development agreement will continue to control all aspects of site development, there are likely to be slight amendments required to accommodate the changes in legal description and some of the phased improvements. The applicant should expect to cooperate with any development agreement requirements in concert with the PUD agreements in process. 3.Criteria for and Consistency with Criteria for Plat Approval.
