Outlot A will be retained by the City for construction of a future park. Also, a portion of Searles Street within the second phase of single family homes will be constructed within Outlot A. Noting the above, staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat to be known as Enclave at New Brighton Exchange. FINAL PLAT ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing final plat approval for Phase 1. This includes 61 lots on 5 blocks, and Outlots A — G. Several easements will need to be vacated and/or released. This process is in motion and only requires City Council approval. A public hearing on the vacations is scheduled for September 24, 2013. Section 26-41 of the City Code outlines the data necessary for approving a final plat. City staff and Pulte's consultant Stantec have been working diligently to ensure all data is accurately depicted on the final plat. The applicant has proposed dedication of additional Old Highway 8 NW right-of-way, as well as met the needs requested by Public Works for the public roadways within the development. It is also worth noting the applicant has proposed street names that have historical significance, which was a desire of the City Council. Lastly, Chapter 26 of the City Code requires payment of park dedication fees for any new lot created at the time of final plat approval. The fee for the final plat will be due at the time of City Council approval. It is worth noting, the County Surveyor is still reviewing the plat. If amendments are necessary as a result of that review, changes will be brought back to the Planning Commission and City Council for approval prior to the actual filing of the plat. Additionally, the future phases of Outlots C, D, and G will require separate final plat approvals at the time of final PUD approval. Staff recommends approval of the final plat of Enclave at New Brighton Exchange. Interdepartmental Comments Public Safety and Engineering have reviewed and commented on the proposed plans. Their comments are attached as exhibits and have been made a part of the conditions of approval. None of these comments should have an impact on the overall site design, lot layout, right-of- way dedication, or any other factor that would otherwise change the site plan. The Parks and Recreation Department had no comments.
