On January 1, 2017, Performance Engineering and Consulting, agent for property owner Trenton Parks, applied for preliminary major plat approval for Lake Hills Subdivision, 35^th Filing. The proposed subdivision re-plats 8 lots originally platted in the Lake Hills Subdivision, 15^th and 33^rd Filings, into 14 lots. The subject property is located on both sides of Gleneagles Boulevard, between Cherry Hills Road and Annandale Road, northwest of the Lake Hills Golf Course in the Heights. The property is zoned Residential-5000 (R-50) and twin homes are proposed.  The Yellowstone County Board of Planning will review the plat at this meeting and conduct a public hearing on February 28, 2017.
 

Staff recommends that the Planning Board recommend conditional approval of the preliminary plat of Lake Hill Subdivision, 35^th Filing to the City Council, and adopt the Findings of Fact as presented in the staff report. 

PROPOSED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Planning staff recommends the following conditions of approval:

1. To provide for the installation of private utilities, prior to final plat approval the applicant will coordinate with private utility providers for any needed easements and show them on the final plat as requested by the private utility companies. 
2. To minimize impacts on local services, centralized mail delivery site(s) shall be coordinated and identified prior to final plat approval.  A letter from USPS shall be provided for verification. 
3. Minor changes may be made in the SIA and final documents, as requested by the Planning, Legal or Public Works Departments to clarify the documents and bring them into the standard acceptable format.
