PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The applicant is proposing to combine multiple tracts into one lot and establish easements on the existing elementary school property. The existing elementary school is on 7.111acres.
PROPOSED USE CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTION:
The existing public elementary school serves the surrounding neighborhoods providing public education for young children living in the north central portion of the community. The newly created lot will utilize existing access points and public utilities. The school plans to use the extra land for an expansion of its garden area.
SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNER PROTEST:
An abutting property owner has submitted a written letter of protest regarding replat. The protester’s letter (received 03-29-19) questions the accuracy of the southern property boundary. In accordance with state law, at least twenty percent (20%) of the lots or land adjoining the area of the proposed replat and within the subdivision protest the plat; it shall require three-fourths (3/4) affirmative vote from members of the Commission to approve the plat. At this time, the protest does not reach the threshold to trigger a supermajority.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee recommends approval based on conformance of the plat to City standards.
