This subdivision is reviewed under the current Subdivision Regulations. The subdivision process is a four (4) step process: Concept Plan, First Plat, Construction Plan, and Final Plat. Vickers Village received First Plat approval on November 15, 2021. Section 5.2 C (6) “Approval of a First Plat shall be valid for a period of two (2) years following the date of approval by the Board of Commissioners. Approval shall remain valid provided the Construction Plan application is submitted during the time period. A one-year extension may be granted if the application demonstrates that delays beyond their control are responsible for the lapse and have the extension submitted and reviewed following the process outlined in Section 5.2(D) (4) prior to the expiration of approval.” “The first phase of phased subdivision must submit Construction Plans within three (3) years of approval of First Plat.”
The first plat approval for up to 203 lots will expire on November 15, 2025, unless the Board of Commissioners approves an extension request. If the first plat expires, any future development of the property will be reviewed and approved under the current Subdivision Regulation.
The Board of Commissioners approved a one-year extension on September 18, 2023, prior to the Subdivision Regulation amendment that extended phased subdivision approval from 2-years to 3-years. The Board of Commissioner’s approved a 12-month extension on the First Plat and development schedule on September 16, 2024.
Discussion & Analysis: The deadline for submission of the construction plan is November 15, 2025, and construction plan approval was on February 12, 2025. The request before the Board is for an extension of the development schedule to follow the proposed schedule shown in table below.
