On December 15, 2010, the Planning Division received an application for a subsequent minor plat approval for Amended Lot 3, Block 4, Burlington Northern Subdivision, 14th Filing. The plat contains two lots on approximately 1.25 acres of land for commercial and industrial development. The proposed subdivision is located on the east side of Barnard Street, south of Monad Road. The lot currently has one building on the northern half. One variance has been requested, from Section 23-406.B.6. of the City Subdivision Regulations. The owners are Herbert and Geraldine Mangis, and the representing agent is Blueline Engineering, LLC.

In accordance with state law, the City Council has 35 working days to act upon this subsequent minor plat; the 35 working day review period for the proposed plat ends on February 4, 2011. 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.
