PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Skyview Ridge Subdivision, 1st Filing, is a proposed subdivision that would create 15 lots on 63.4 acres of land. It is located south of Wicks Lane, west of Governor's Boulevard, and north of Constitution and Kootenai Avenues, in the Heights. City Council granted conditional approval to the preliminary plat of Skyview Ridge Subdivision, 1st Filing, on August 13, 2007. Section 23-302(13) of the City Subdivision Regulations stipulates that the conditional approval of preliminary plats shall be in force not more than three years, unless a request for a one-year extension is received and approved by the City Council. Because the final plat is not yet ready for approval, and the preliminary plat approval will expire on August 13, 2010, the subdivider has requested an extention (see Attachment). Approval of this request would extend the preliminary plat approval to August 13, 2011.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The City Council may approve or deny the request to extend the preliminary plat approval for one additional year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The platting of 15 new lots would increase the tax revenues on the property for the City. Allowing the subdivider one additional year to prepare the final plat and documents will not have any direct financial impact to the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the City Council approve the request for a one-year extension of the preliminary plat approval date for Skyview Ridge Subdivision, 1st Filing, and set the new expiration date for August 13, 2011.
