III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the preliminary plat as
required by UDC 11-613-3C.2. This is the second phase of development of the Lavender Heights
Subdivision. The same number of buildable lots,common lots, and amount of open space is proposed
as were approved in the preliminary plat.
The preliminary plat requires 6.46 acres(or 12.3%overall) of qualified open space. The first phase of
development provided 3.05 acres of qualified open space; this second phase provides 0.84 acres of
additional qualified open space through parkways, a segment of micro-pathway,and an area of the
Farr Lateral. Therefore,the total open space provided to date is 3.89 acres, or approximately 60%of
the required open space.
Staff finds the proposed final plat is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as
required.
