ITEM NO 1: FINAL PLAT FOR LAKE ESTATES AT ALVAMAR; NORTHEAST CORNER OF 22^ND TERRACE AND LAKE POINTE DRIVE (SLD)

PF-04-14-05:  Final Plat for Lake Estates at Alvamar.  This proposed 35-lot single-family residential subdivision contains approximately 12.584 acres.  The property is generally described as being located at the northeast corner of 22^nd Terrace and Lake Pointe Drive.  Submitted by Peridian Group, Inc., for Lakes Estates at Alvamar, LLC, property owner of record.

COMMISSION DISCUSSION

Burress said he had pulled this item from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote because he intended to abstain from the vote.  He explained this was because he recognized that the Final Plat was consistent with the Preliminary Plat approved by the City Commission, but he disagreed with the revisions the City Commission made when approving the Preliminary Plat.  Burress said the version the Planning Commission recommended for approval was better because it provided more connectivity.
