The applicant, David Turnbull, Brighton Development, has submitted a letter dated January 2, 2014
requesting City Council approval of the final plat Order for Bainbridge Subdivision No. 2 as written. He
also requests relief from the 24-lot limitation of development on a single water source approved with
Bainbridge Subdivision No. 1 (FP-13-035). The Order for phase I was approved by City Council on
December 3, 2013.
At the City Council hearing for the phase 1 final plat on September 3, 2013, Council voted to approve FP-
13-035 with the 24 building lot limitation as per City policy but directed staff to provide Council with the
DEQ requirements, City policy, and all other pertinent information, including past conditions on other
projects. Staff was to meet with the applicant to see if there was an alternative that would allow full
development of phase 1 as proposed. Although Council voted on the application that night, they made it
clear that the applicant would not be charged an additional fee if further discussion took place in the future
that extended the 24 lot limitation.
Since the hearing on September 3`d, staff met with the applicant on September 9th to discuss water system
modeling and again on October 11 `h to review the results of that effort. Based on this discussion, Public
Works determined that the 24 lot limitation would remain; the Order approved by Council reflected this
decision.
Subsequent to these discussions, and as part of the approval of phase 2, Public Works at the direction of
City Council has suspended enforcement of this policy. The Public Works Department and Community
Development does not object to the applicant's request for relief from the 241ot limitation imposed on
phase I. If Council concurs, Council may direct staffto revise the Order for phase 1 accordingly for
approval at a subsequent meeting.
