This subdivision was approved in 1998. A short time later Section one of the Subdivision, then
known as Eagle Ridge, was approved but never constructed. Earlier this year the owner
expressed a desire to move forward with their subdivision plans. At the request of the
Department the owner submitted a revised layout. You will find both the new and original
layouts in your information packet. This revised layout was takeri to the Executive Committee of
the Plan Commission who also serves as the Plat Committee. They approved the revised design
as an acceptable Secondary Plat layout and the owner has proceeded with construction plans for
sections one and two of this new layout. These sections include the majority of lots west of West
Road and the area south of the existing lakes. In September of this year the applicant appeared
before the Plan Commission with a request to make a portion (24 of the 214 lot served by private
streets). At that time members of the Commission expressed concern not with the modifications
to the approved plat but with the use of the Executive Committee process employed to address
the change. Since that time the subdivision waiver request has been tabled at committee.
This Public Hearing on the above listed waivers and Primary Plat Amendment will allow the full
Plan Commission to review the modifications with the benefit of public input after the public
hearing is conducted.
Please see the petitioner's information packet for a layout of the site. Information concerning the
subdivision waivers that address the changes between the original Primary Plat and the amended
one are contained in the packet.
The Department recommends that the Plan Commission forward these items to the
Subdivision Committee for further discussion on January 6`h
