The final plat for Josephine Crossing Subdivision, 5th Filing is being presented to Council for approval.  On September 22, 2014, the City Council conditionally approved the preliminary plat of this 92-lot subdivision. The 15.35-acre subject property is generally located south of Elysian Road, and east of Mullowney Lane, on the west edge of the existing Josephine Crossing development. The property was formerly owned by the Roman Catholic Church and used for farming.  The land is zoned Planned Development, an expansion of the existing Planned Development that exists for the rest of Josephine Crossing.  The owners are McCall Development, Inc., and the representing agent is Sanderson Stewart. Upon City Council approval, these documents are appropriate as to form for filing with the Clerk and Recorder.

The City Council may approve or deny the final plat of Josephine Crossing Subdivision, 5th Filing. If the 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, the newly created lots may be developed, which will increase tax revenues for the City.
