RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the final expedited plat and SIA of Turnbull Subdivision.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
On July 9, 2021, IMEG Engineering applied for final expedited minor plat approval for Turnbull Subdivision. An expedited subdivision is a subdivision that:
1. Meets the definition of a first minor subdivision from a tract of record; and
2. Legal and physical access to all lots is provided; and
3. No land in the subdivision will be dedicated to public use for parks or playgrounds; and
4. The plat has been approved by the Montanan Department of Environmental Quality or County Environmental Health whenever approval is required or the plat has been approved by the City of Billings Public Works Department for sanitary water, sewer and storm water facilities; and
5. No public improvements are needed.
This subdivision meets all those criteria, it is a lot of record, Certificate of Survey 672, both lots will have access off Washington Street, they are not required to dedicate parkland, they will connect to existing water and sewer lines in Washington Street and any public improvements are not required by City Engineering at this time.
The proposed subdivision creates 2 lots for residential development. The subject property is generally located at 127 Washington Street which is on the east side of Washington Street, north of Madison Avenue. There is currently residential development on proposed Lot 1 that will stay in place. The current zoning is Mixed Residential, NX1, 1 to 4 dwelling unit buildings. Staff has reviewed the application and determined that the proposed plat has met all the requirements of development for the 2 lot minor and is forwarding a recommendation of final approval to the City Council. Upon City Council approval, these documents are appropriate as to form for filing with the Clerk and Recorder.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may approve or disapprove the final plat of Turnbull Subdivision. If the City Council chooses to deny the final expedited plat, the denial must be because the criteria in Section 76-3-611, MCA are not met.

(1) The governing body or the agent or agency designated by the governing body shall examine each final plat, and the governing body shall approve the plat only if:

(b) the county treasurer has certified that all real property taxes and special assessments assessed and levied on the land to be subdivided have been paid.
