Abstract
Introduction & Background:
The legislative public hearing was held September 19, 2024. Planning staff presented the request. No one spoke on the matter.
The development was approved as a Conditional District Compact Community on November 15, 2021. As part of that approval, there were several conditions required. The condition numbers listed in the request are the ones up for discussion.
Due to costs and delays in getting the initial development started, the applicant is requesting an extension in order to begin the process of development. This request is also tied to the Subdivision requirements for getting the phased areas platted and approved which was previously reviewed and recommended for approval by the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners.
Discussion & Analysis:
There are no changes to the submitted findings that were approved with the original submittal. All information shall remain in effect as reviewed and approved.
This request would extend deadlines as follows:
• Phase 1: Lots 94-167 (74+/-). Final plat on or before December 31, 2026
• Phase 2: Lots 1-93 and 168-189 (115 +/-). Final plat on or before December 31, 2027
• Phase 3: Commercial Lot. Final plat on or before December 31, 2028
• Building Permit: A building permit shall be issued, and remain valid at all times, within three (3) years from the date of this new approval
