September of this year Council approved an amendment to the
Planned Development District to allow stucco on the subject

containing kitchen facilities. This approval was also subject to a
replat being approved prior to the issuance of a building permit for a
home on this lot due to its encroachment on the existing FEMA
defined 100 -year flood plain line.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Master Plan, as amended in 2003, shows
this property as suitable for Residential Low Density. development
DISCUSSION: The purpose of this replat is to reflect a revised flood plain line as
submitted to FEMA on September 10, 2009. It is anticipated that
the relocated flood plain line will be administratively approved as a
LOMA (Letter of Map Amendment) and no additional flood plain
studies will be required.
Once the new 100 -year flood plain line is established, the amount
of developable land will be increased allowing the home to be
constructed as shown on the detail site plan for PD -181 R -SF -12 as
approved by Council in September of this year.
Per state law, this residential replat requires notification of property
owners within 200 feet, within the original subdivision. A total of
two notices were sent out, and neither were returned in opposition,
therefore, staff recommends approval, subject to the replat not
being filed for record until the LOMA is received from FEMA and
the approval date is noted on the plat.
