(99-31) Applicant: Municipal Development Group Item Summary: This final plat is for the 1.15 acre corner tract at University Drive and SH6 West Frontage Road. This property has been before the Commission on several occasions. First as part of a preliminary plat and then as the subject tract for a conditional use permit. The conditional use permit was granted for the "use only" as a convenience store and service station at this location. The site plan will come back before the Commission for review of the site layout, aesthetics and compliance with the Overlay District. The final plat as submitted complies with our subdivision regulations. Item Background: A preliminary plat for this tract is being run concurrently with this final plat. The preliminary plat is a revision to one approved earlier by the Commission and Council. The changes slightly affect this final plat. It became apparent when looking at construction documents for the waterline for this tract that the access easement location on University Drive needs to shift (or increase) by 17.5' to the west. This is necessary to avoid a storm sewer inlet on University Drive. This change is shown on the preliminary plat. If this corner tract develops first an additional access easement will need to be dedicated by separate instrument in order to construct the drive.

The options regarding the final plat are approval as submitted, approval with conditions, or denial. Defer action or table only at applicant's request. Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2.

Streets: The tract has access via SH 6 West Frontage Road and University Drive. Access locations have been worked out on the preliminary plat. Off-site Easements: If the access on University Drive will be constructed prior to development of Lot 4, the 17.5' easement on Lot 4 will need to be dedicated by separate instrument in order to construct the access drive.
