The final plat for Mont Vista Subdivision, 1st Filing is being presented to Council for approval. On January 27, 2014, the City Council conditionally approved the preliminary plat of this 93-lot subdivision.  The 60-acre subject property is located generally on the east side of 54th Street West, south of Rimrock Road.  The subdivision creates 87 lots for single-family development, 3 park parcels and 2 large parcels for further development in the future.  It is zoned as a Planned Unit Development.  A land swap for Cynthia Park is being considered concurrently, by which a lot of equal size will be dedicated as parkland in exchange for title to the previously dedicated Cynthia Park parcel along the west side of 52nd Street West. The owner is the Mont Vista, LLC and the representing agent is KLJ.  Upon City Council approval, these documents are appropriate as to form for filing with the Clerk and Recorder.

The City Council may approve or deny the final plat of Mont Vista Subdivision, 1st Filing. If the City Council chooses to deny the final plat, it must base the denial on the criteria outlined in MCA 76-3-611 and BMCC, Section 23-307.

Should the City Council approve the final plat, the newly created lots will be developed which will increase tax revenues for the City.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the final plat of Mont Vista Subdivision, 1st Filing.
