of Section 30, T.3N., R.IE. Phase one consists of 54 single-family residential building lots and 7

Preliminary Plat requires a separate common lot between Lots 17 and 18, Block 3. The purpose

of this common lot would be to accommodate pedestrian and emergency personnel access to
these four flag lots by connecting the common driveway to the south with the asphalt pathway
in the linear open space lot north of the flag lots. As submitted, the final plat does not show a
separate common lot in this area. However, staff does not believe a common lot is necessary.
This was discussed at the P&Z Commission heazing and the Commission supported only
providing a break in the fence to allow for pedestrian access rather than requiring a separate lot.
This issue should be discussed during the Final Plat meeting. If the City Council agrees with the
applicant and staff, no change to the final plat is necessary. However, if the City Council wants
to require compliance with Condition #1, the final plat will need to be amended.
