PUBLIC HEARING(S):
REQUEST TO APPROVE PLAT(S): PRELIMINARY PLAT Jaxon Terrace Phase 12
Petitioner Richard Jones
Aaron Robinson of Bond Engineering stated that he is representing the petitioner Mr. Richard Jones. He explained that Phase 12 of Jaxon Terrace is a continuation of the master plan.
He pointed out that this phase would extend Rainer Drive, which was also a part of phase 11, adding that it would loop Rainer Drive back around to the next phase proposed phase and
tie into Rope Trail. He went on to say he had met with the Sewer Department and it was decided that the pump station would be relocated from within the Subdivision out to North First
Street. He then pointed out that lot 6 is very large because that was the original location for the pump station, adding that the lot is adjacent on the south to the developers property
that has three barns, which houses a lot of his equipment. He further explained that after meeting with the Sewer Department last week and deciding to move the pump station, lot 6
is no longer going to be a part of this development phase. He noted that the road, water and sewer would still be extended as if the lot was a part of this phase but it will not be
a part of the platted phase. He then answered Chairman Moore that for now the lot would remain vacant. He stated that he has also met with the Water Department, saying that the only
request was to extend the waterline out to North First Street. He went on to say that, he is going to comply with that request and that they will further meet with the Sewer and Water
Departments this month. He then mentioned that the phase would have sidewalks that continue from the prior phases.

7:07 P.M. – 7:07 P.M.
City Attorney Bamburg stated that he would represent on the City’s behalf, saying that the developer has satisfied the criteria for sidewalks, sewer, water with the exception of the
change as indicated. He added that Mr. Robinson has stated that they are going to revise the preliminary plat to exclude lot 6, allowing that lot to be developed at some point in the
future with later phases. He stated that lot 6 would probably come back before the Commission when they develop phase 13. He pointed out that there are no exceptions to what is being
requested, saying that it has standard building lines, easements, and sidewalks. He related that this is just an extension of what has already been done in this Subdivision. He suggested
that any approval be contingent upon them submitted a revised preliminary plat consistent with his presentation tonight.
Commissioner Thomas moved, seconded by Commissioner Healey to approve the preliminary plat of Jaxon Terrace PH 12 contingent that a revised preliminary plat be submitted to the City
Clerk and Engineering Department consistent with the presentation. MOTION CARRIED.
