The City has received an application from Lennar (the "Applicant") for approval of their Final Plat for Lynwood Second Addition, which is located south and west of Fire Station #1 (the "Subject Property").  This phase of the subdivision includes the remaining fifty-one (51) townhomes approved as part of the Preliminary Plat.  The third and final (future) phase will include the twelve (12) single family homes.

Notification is not required for a Final Plat.

The City Council previously approved a Zoning Amendment and Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the project that rezoned the Subject Property from R-3 Residential (High Density) to R-2 Residential (Medium Density) and from High Density Residential to Medium Density Residential, respectively.  The Final Plat conforms with the approved Preliminary Plat.

This phase will include an extension of 149th Lane and Ferret Street, both public roads, as well as the construction of 150th Lane (public road), Gibbon Terrace (private road), and Gibbon Way (private road).  Additionally, it will include a watermain stub to serve Fire Station #1 (from the western or rear side of Fire Station #1).  Furthermore, with this second phase of the project, all of the required density transitioning plantings along the northern and western boundaries of the Subject Property will be completed.

The proposed Development Agreement for Lynwood Second Addition is attached.
