KEY POINTS

·         The submitted Final Plat conforms to requirements of the approved Preliminary Plat.

·         At the time the preliminary plat was approved, it was believed that the sanitary sewer in the area was adequate. It has since been determined that the pump station (PS 28) does not have the capacity to handle the development. City Staff and applicant have worked to develop a temporary solution, which involves the rerouting of flow to a pump station to the north. Future improvements will be needed to accommodate this development’s sewer needs as development increases in this area.

·         Prior to the issuance of any building permit on the property in the Final Plat, the applicant shall install sanitary sewer improvements, pursuant to City standards and requirements, required to serve the property and shall escrow funds with the City in an amount equal to the property’s share of the estimated costs of future sewer improvements that will serve the property and the sanitary sewer watershed. The current and future sewer improvements shall be in accordance with the City’s sanitary sewer master plans.

·         Plat will dedicate required easements and rights-of-way.
