Vintage Estates Subdivision, located on the south side of Grand Avenue, at 54th Street West, was platted and recorded in April 2005. The Subdivision Improvements Agreement (SIA) recorded with the plat states that construction of public improvements, including streets, utilities, and storm water facilities, will be installed in three phases.  The owner, Vintage Estates, LLC, and the representing agent, Sanderson Stewart, are requesting that the SIA be amended to allow for development to occur in four phases instead of three.  City Engineering, Fire, Parks, Legal and other staff have carefully reviewed the proposed changes and support this modification to the phasing plan. The modifications are attached, and shown as underlined and crossed out text of the appropriate SIA sections.

The City Subdivision Regulations, Section 23-1103, BMCC, describes the procedure for amending recorded SIAs and other supporting plat documents.  It indicates that after a request to amend a document is received and reviewed by affected agencies, the Planning Division shall submit a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council may approve the request if it does not significantly alter the original approval and does not conflict with the review criteria set forth in these regulations.

City Council may:

• Approve the request to amend the SIA for Vintage Estates Subdivision; or
• Deny the request to amend the SIA for Vintage Estates Subdivision.

Approval of the amendment to the SIA would not have a financial impact to the City.

Staff recommends that City Council approve the request to amend the Subdivision Improvements Agreement for Vintage Estates Subdivision.
