The applicant submitted the Preliminary Plat and Improvement Plans for Bienestar Estates 10 Subdivision. The Preliminary Plat is to give a general idea of the layout of the proposed subdivision. The Improvement Plans are usually submitted at the final review process and they require a more extensive review. 

In an effort to be proactive, staff reviewed all submittals and sent out review comments to the applicant on letter dated February 11, 2019. Most of these comments address details of the improvement plans and as such many of the comments can be addressed during the final plat submittal.

The applicant has provided the information and materials necessary for review of the preliminary plat for Bienestar Estates 10 Subdivision.

Staff recommends conditional approval of preliminary plat for Subdivision Case No. 2019-030P. Approval subject to the following condition:

As per Section 4.10(3) of the Subdivision Regulations, "Conditional approval of a preliminary plat shall not constitute approval of the final plat.
