AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Staff update to the Commission regarding Land Use Planning Law
Conference.
Senior Planner McCully told the Commissioners that she had attended this conference in Austin a few
weeks bale. She informed them that state lave requires that action 1s to be taken on Preliminary Plats
within 30 days or it is approved automatically, this is the same requirement as with Final Plats. She
explained that this 3 0 day period begins when the plat is when it is "fild" with the City. She suggested
that there be a definition provided for "filing date" in the Subdivision Regulations to avoid confusion.
She said that staff would no longer recommend approval of a preliminary plat if conditions we not
met, instead they would recommend denial. She explained that a preliminary plat must meet all
requirements or Staff would recommend denial in the future, conditions should no longer be placed on
the preliminary plats because they would not be enforceable after the 30 days. If the Commission
denies a preliminary plat, there would need to be specific reasons addressed.
AGENDA ITEM NO. : Wolf Fen Creep Implementation Subcommittee Deport.
The Subcommittee reported that that there seemed to be no ordinance issues needing to be addressed.
The primary issue was where the City would acquire property. The Parks Department created a map to
show property lines. He said that the new step is to take this information to the property owners and
inform them of the plan to acquire property.
