He explained that the purpose of the Concept Plan, is to ensure coordination of land use for the phases involved. Preliminary plats are still required to be presented to and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Any rezoning and the final plats must have Planning and Zoning as well as Council approval. There were several property owners at the last Council Meeting who objected to the traffic pattern for the subdivision as presented by the builder at that meeting, and objected to the proposed size of some of the homes to be built in the subdivision. Barry reminded Council that the City will be able to provide utility service to the proposed area and that the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended approval. Mayor Wood recognized the project engineer, Don Bizzell, and Bizzell provided a copy of the Restrictions for the subdivision and a drawing that showed the utility lines available in the surrounding area. He informed Council that it may require that a couple of lines be increased in size. When asked by a member of the audience who would be responsible for paying for the line improvements, Bizzell answered that the developer would pay those improvement costs. Bizzell also assured Council that if the "patio" homes were a concern, he felt the developer would be willing to remove them from the proposed development. Motion by Voltz, second by Valdez to approve the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and accept the Concept Plan because it meets all recognized development regulations, and to direct Mr. Parker, the developer, to meet with City Staff and comply with the long-term utility plans.
