Once they have substantially installed all infrastructure, that is when we could subdivide the property. Prior to the final approval for the final plat, the City requires an as-built certification from the engineer of record to say it has been done per plan. Chairperson Powell also confirmed that the pond would need to be in place prior to construction commencing on the property. The City also requires an Inspection and Maintenance Agreement on the pond. Commission Member Howard clarified the posting requirements. Mr. Staubes said that it was updated April 22, and Mr. Martin said that the next hearing will also be posted in the MDJ prior to Mayor and Council. Commission Member Carter thought the delay was going to be the elevations but does have concerns about the side setback variance since it looks like it does not quite match. Chairperson Powell said a few words regarding traffic and how it is always an issue and mentioned how there is a sidewalk that wraps around the property and should help.
