PUBLIC HEARING(S):
REQUEST TO APPROVE PLAT(S): FINAL PLAT Cornerstone Place Subdivision
City Engineer Adam Whitlow stated the petitioner is requesting the
final plat approval for Lots 1 and 2 of Cornerstone Place Subdivision.
He explained the owner is responsible for coordination with the United
States Postal Service for mail service, they need to provide geometry
references for proposed waterline easement, drainage improvements as-
builts, Water and Sewer Acceptance prior to recording of final plat,
and a Bill of Assurance. He mentioned that structures shown on Lot 1
are not complete to date, noting any acceptance of this final plat in
no way is intended as an approval of such and all final inspections
and subsequent Certificates of Occupancy will be required to be issued
prior to occupancy. He brought up that a meeting to be attended by
City Staff, Project Engineer, Owner/Developer, and Stakeholders is
required to be scheduled in order to update the status of structures,
signage, lighting, landscape, etc. He confirmed his Staff supports
approval of this project contingent upon the aforementioned approvals.
Chairman Moore recalled the Commission approving the preliminary plat
in 2015 and 2018.
Representative Stacy Akin with Tyler Group LLC explained there are
three buildings there now on Lot 1 and there will be four additional
that will be built identical.
Commissioner Bollen recommended updating the exteriors of the
buildings to be more aesthetically pleasing.
Chairman Moore noted Lot 2 is zoned commercial.
Engineer Whitlow explained, typically, the Commission would see the
final plat before the City would issue a building permit, but from his
understanding, there were financing issues and it was allowed to move
forward. He confirmed the site plan will need approval in the future,
but it does not have any affect on the plat itself. When Commissioner

Oakley mentioned Water and Wastewater approval, he replied it is one
of the contingencies. He believes the infrastructure has been
installed, but they will tie-on to the Improvement District; that is
part of why the construction was allowed to move forward prior to
final plat.
