medium density residential uses.
DISCUSSION: The Planning Director is authorized to approve minor plats, but may elect
to refer a minor plat to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council. Since there will be no project delay resulting from Commission
and Council review of the plat, the Planning Director is exercising that
option. The plat cannot be considered as a Final Plat, since there is no
approved Preliminary Plat on file. Also, there is an existing overhead
cable located on the south side of Vanbebber Drive. There may be an
opportunity to have the cable buried, if adequate land is available.

Use Permit, the planning staff recommends approval of the plat subject to
the following conditions:
1) Relabeling the title to read "Minor Plat".
2) Provision of a utility easement along the north property line if
necessary to accommodate placemem of the overhead cable
underground.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Minor plat (Mislabled Final Plat)
