Item 10: MFP 07-006 Request for Final Plat Modification. of the approved fencing
for Messina Meadows Subdivision No. 1 by Tuscany Development, Inc.
- Eagle Road approximately % mile north of Amity:
De Weerd: Item 10 is MFP 07-006. Staff.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a final plat modification for
Messina Meadows No. 1. The issue before you tonight is that the applicant requests to
remove the requirement to construct five foot vinyl fencing adjacent to Lots 1 through 3,
Block 13, Lots 1 through 4 in 14 -- Block 14 and Lots 2 through 5, Block 16, and Lots 2
through 6, Block 17. And, basically, these are all interior lot lines that will have other
portions of Messina Meadows. As future phases develop those fences will be built by
the homeowners as they move into those homes. So, they are all interior lots of the
subdivision and will be adjacent to future platted lots. The UDC does not have a
requirement to construct fencing adjacent to interior lots lines, it was just proposed as
part of their original preliminary plat. They are asking for costs considerations to
remove that requirement at this time. The other portion of the request is they would like
to revise -- revise the approved landscape plan to install attractive mailbox structures at
the location shown here with the red circles, instead of approved three foot tall gates
with trellises. That was their amenity before. The mailbox structures will be constructed

out of decorative stone, stucco around the mailbox, and an asphalt shingle roof with
exposed truss and a bench as shown. So, staff is recommending approval. The final
plat still substantially complies with the approved preliminary plat and the requested
modifications meet or exceed the intent of the original proposal. These are quite
attractive, as you can see. So, with that I will answer any questions you may have. Oh,
we do have a letter from the applicant stating they are in agreement with the conditions
of approval.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Anna. Council, any questions?
Rountree: I have none.
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay.
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Borton.
Borton: I move that we approve item 10 MFP 07-006.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second to approve Item 10. If there is no
discussion, Mr. Berg -- I'll call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
