Public Hearing: (A) Pulte Homes of Minnesota LLC requests Final Plat approval for ENCLAVE AT NEW BRIGHTON EXCHANGE 2ND ADDITION, replatting 36 lots for development of 36 townhomes to be known as ENCLAVE AT NEW BRIGHTON EXCHANGE TOWNHOMES located on the west side of Old Highway 8 NW, at the northwest corner of Old Highway 8 NW and Central Park Boulevard, within the New Brighton Exchange Redevelopment area.

Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat of ENCLAVE AT NEW dBRIGHTON EXCHANGE TOWNHOMES, subject to the following conditions:
