The final plat for Miller Crossing Subdivision, 3rd Filing, is being presented to Council for approval. On December 14, 2009, the City Council conditionally approved two lots on approximately 14.36 acres of land. The subject property is located on the southwest corner of King Avenue East and Orchard Lane. The property is zoned Entryway General Commercial (EGC) and is currently the site of the Sam’s Club store. Sanderson Stewart is the representing agent.

The Planning Division and other applicable City Departments have reviewed this final plat and find that the plat and supporting documents conform to the conditions of preliminary plat approval and comply with MCA 76-3-611 and BMCC Section 23-307. Upon City Council approval, the plat and supporting documents are appropriate as to form for filing with the Clerk and Recorder.

The City Council may approve or deny the final plat of Miller Crossing Subdivision, 3rd 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, an additional lot could facilitate further development on the property which would result in increased tax revenues for the City.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the final plat of Miller Crossing Subdivision, 3rd Filing.
