The developers, Joe Mahoney and Michael Giles,
have petitioned the Council for preliminary
plat approval for Wood Ridge Estates.
The 70 acre subject site has been in the
foreground of both the Planning Commission and
Council calendars for the past year and a
half. Initially the property was annexed into
the City and subsequently rezoned and brought
into com~liance with the Comprehensive Plan.
The pre11minary plat was filed with staff on
May 17, 1991. In accordance with Section
6-3-3 (B) 1, the Council must approve or
disapprove the preliminary plat bf September
14, 1991, or agree to an extens10n of the
review period with the applicant.
The Planning Commission considered this
development for about three (3) months before
recommending ~reliminary plat approval at a
special meet1ng on August 23, 1991. The
outstanding issues were resolved at that
meeting and confirmed in a letter of
understanding drafted by the developers
attorney, Tim Keane. The Planning Commission
approved the preliminary plat on the
conditions incorporated in the letter. The
letter of understanding dated August 28, 1991,
is attached. Staff and the developers worked
hard to resolve outstanding issues on the
preliminary plat.
Over the course of the ~ast three (3) months,
Staff has had signif1cant input into the
design and arrangement of lots and open space.
Based on the conditions incorporated in the
attached letter of understanding, Staff
recommends preliminary plat approval.
