Final Planned Residential Development Planning Commission Report; 11-19-19 Page 5 (cont.)  In addition to ensuring the development plans comply with preliminary approvals, the Planning Commission and Council are to examine the final plat to determine compliance with the City’s subdivision codes in Chapter 26. o Was the final plat received within one year of preliminary approval (or within one year of the last phase being approved)? Yes. Phase I was approved on July 23rd, 2019. o Was the final plat prepared by a land surveyor, and do the documents conform to all State and County requirements? Yes. The proposed plat was prepared by Max L. Stanislowski, Licensed Land Surveyor. The City Attorney has not expressed any concerns to date, and minor corrections can still be made prior to filing if need be. o Do the final plat documents provide all information to be shown as called for by Section 26-41(2) of the City’s Subdivision Codes? Yes. All necessary information is shown on the final plat. o Are park dedication requirements being met by the final plat? Yes. Dedication will be satisfied via cash-in-lieu of land per a developer’s agreement being prepared. Per the Preliminary PRD approval, the dedication for the workforce building will be $286,525. It is anticipated that dedications from the three Midtown Village projects will be used to build out the public park dedicated as part of Phase I. o Has a title opinion been provided and reviewed by the City Attorney? On-going. The applicant and City attorney are working to complete this step as of 11/15/19. While this is of lesser concern seeing as the City is owner of the land currently, we will still see this step completed prior to Council approval of the final PRD. Based on these criteria, staff does find the final PLAT to be in substantial compliance with subdivision requirements and preliminary approval. PC Role at this time:  Section 7-090(6) reads: “The Planning Commission shall indicate by recommendation to the City Council that the final plan for planned residential development is in substantial compliance with the preliminary plan and shall add any further conditions it deems necessary to protect the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare. Any final plan deemed not to be in substantial compliance with the preliminary plan or in compliance with Chapter 26 of the City Code except as changed by variation noted by the applicant shall be as noted in the recommendation to the City Council as to exactly where the final plan is not in compliance and to what degree and shall further recommend as to whether another public hearing is in order.”
