III. STAFF ANALYSIS
N
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat in accord with the requirements listed in UDC 11 -6B -3C.2. Because the number of buildable lots
decreased by two (2) and the common area increased slightly from what was shown on the approved
preliminary plat, staff deems the final plat in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat.
A micro -path is proposed as an amenity within this phase for pedestrian connectivity to the south.
All development shall comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the
R-8 zoning district as follows:
