RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends to the City Council that the Final Plat of Cherry Island Subdivision be approved.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
On July 14, 2023, Sanderson Stewart, applied for final major plat approval of Cherry Island Subdivision. The proposed subdivision creates 41 lots for residential development. One large lot on the north is still within the County and will not be developed at this time. The subject property is generally located between Cherry Creek Loop and east of Bitterroot Drive. The large lot to the north is still in the County, it is a dual jurisdiction subdivision. For this reason there are signature blocks for the Yellowstone County Commissioners on the plat. The land is currently vacant grassland. Staff has reviewed the application and determined that the proposed plat has met all the conditions of approval and is forwarding a recommendation of final approval to the City Council. Upon City Council and Board of County Commissioners approval, these documents are appropriate as to form for filing with the Clerk and Recorder.
STAKEHOLDERS
A public hearing is not required for the City Council meeting; however nearby property owners may attend the City Council meeting. At this time, the Planning Division has received no public comments or questions regarding the proposed subdivision.
