Regular Agenda
4. Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Preliminary / Final Plat Combination for 31.17
acres to be known as Chapriel Place, being a Resubdivision of Lots 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of Chaparro
Estates and 8.97 acres in the J. Fish Survey. PFP-2010-001 (VK) Staff report given by Valeris
Kreger this is a new application that has been created. Primary reason for this replat is to
extend the utilities. This is a request for a Preliminary and Final Combination Plat, a new type
of application that was established with the June 2010 UDC amendments. The property
owners are platting and replatting in order to take the first step in preparing these properties
for development. With this process, the lots will be under current UDC regulations, joint
access points will be established and wastewater capacity will be reserved. The plat does not
propose a lot configuration or number different than what exists today. Because a
wastewater extension is required with the platting, a Preliminary Plat is required in addition
to the Final Plat. Under the new combination process, these plats can be processed as one
application.

glad to answer questions.
