PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Vintage Estates Subdivision, located on the south side of Grand Avenue, at 54th Street West, was platted and recorded in April 2005. The Subdivision Improvements Agreement (SIA) recorded with the plat states that construction of public improvements, including streets, utilities, and storm water facilities, will be installed in phases. In February 2013, City Council reviewed and approved a request to amend the original SIA with an updated phasing plan to allow development in four phases. At that time, the construction of a left-hand turn lane on Grand Avenue was identified as a requirement of the third phase. Since that time, updated traffic counts and analyses have shown that the turn lane will not be necessary until the fourth phase of development. The subdivider is currently constructing the third phase improvements.
Based on the updated traffic analyses, the owner, Vintage Estates, LLC, and the representing agent, Sanderson Stewart, are requesting that the SIA be amended to allow for a delay of the turn lane construction until Phase Four. City Engineering staff have carefully reviewed the proposed changes and support this modification to the turn lane construction timing. The modifications are attached, and shown as underlined and crossed out text of the appropriate SIA sections.
The City Subdivision Regulations, Section 23-1103, BMCC, describes the procedure for amending recorded SIAs and other supporting plat documents. It indicates that after a request to amend a document is received and reviewed by affected agencies, the Planning Division shall submit a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council may approve the request if it does not significantly alter the original approval and does not conflict with the review criteria set forth in these regulations.
