On February 1, 2019, Sanderson Stewart, agent for McCall Development, Inc., applied for preliminary major plat approval for Annafeld Subdivision, 2nd Filing. The proposed subdivision creates 101 new lots for development. The subject property is generally located south of Elysian Road and west of the Hogan Slough.  The property is in the process of annexation and that process will be completed when this application is acted upon by City Council. The property is zoned Planned Development (PD) and the proposed lots will be developed in substantial compliance with the approved Planned Development Master Plan.

Staff recommends that the Planning Board recommend conditional approval of the preliminary plat of Annafeld Subdivision, 2nd Filing to the City Council, and adopt the Findings of Fact as presented in the staff report. 

PROPOSED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Staff recommends the following conditions of approval:
 
1. To minimize impacts on storm water detention facilities and ensure proper maintenance of the proposed system, prior to final plat approval, the applicant will provide an HOA Storm Water Facility Maintenance Agreement for review by City of Billings Engineering Division. This agreement shall outline the maintenance responsibilities of the storm water facilities.
 
2. To minimize the impact of future road infrastructure and to ensure any impacts the subdivision may have on the existing roads are mitigated, prior to final plat approval the applicant, with input from City Engineering, will determine dollar amounts of the required contributions to the existing roads.  The applicant will also have all of the streets named in the subdivision.

3. To ensure the public park associated with this subdivision can be constructed and maintained correctly, prior to final plat approval the applicant has been asked to replace the second and third paragraph wording in the SIA under the heading VII. Parks/Open Space with wording provided by the City of Billings PRPL Division, this wording may further be discussed between the applicant and the Parks Department:

In addition, the lots within Annafeld Subdivision, Second Filing (not already participating in the park SID 1404 from Annafeld Subdivision, First Filing) shall provide additional funding to complete the park improvements for the previously created public parkland by SID.  The park improvements shall be in accordance with the Council approved Annafeld Parks Master Plan.  The Subdivider shall prepare all SID documents necessary for creation, and coordinate with the City of Billings Parks and Recreation Department for review and approval.  If all park improvements as defined in the Annafeld Parks Master Plan have been completed prior to the creation of this park SID, then this park SID will no longer be required.
 
The current park maintenance district (PMD 4041) for Annafeld Subdivision, First Filing shall be expanded to include lots within Annafeld Subdivision, Second Filing for the perpetual maintenance of the public parkland.  The Subdivider shall prepare all park maintenance district documents necessary for its expansion and coordinate with the City of Billings Parks and Recreation Department for review and approval. 
  
4. 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.
 
5. The final plat shall comply with all requirements of the City of Billings Subdivision Regulations, rules, regulations, policies, and resolutions of the City of Billings, and the laws and Administrative Rules of the State of Montana.
