On March 15, 2012, the Planning Division received an application for preliminary plat approval for Amended Block 2, Foxtail Village Subdivision, 2nd Filing. The subject property is located on the north side of Grand Avenue, just east of 60th Street West. The amended plat shows 16 lots originally platted in Foxtail Village, 2nd Filing, aggregated into one large lot for a future condominium development. The new lot is approximately 2.7 acres in size, is zoned Residential-7000 (R-70), and is proposed for single-family and duplex condominiums. The owner is Cal Kunkel and the representing agent is Sanderson Stewart.

In accordance with state law, the City Council has 35 working days to act upon this minor preliminary plat; the 35 working day review period for the proposed plat ends on May 3, 2012. State and City subdivision regulations also require that preliminary plats be reviewed using specific criteria, as stated within this report. The City may not unreasonably restrict an owner’s ability to develop land if the subdivider provides evidence that any identified adverse effects can be mitigated. Within the 35 day review period, the City Council is required to:

1. Approve;
2. Conditionally Approve; or
3. Deny the Preliminary Plat

Should the City Council approve the preliminary plat, the subject property may further develop under private ownership, resulting in additional tax revenues.
