Page 2 of 2 Replat Request Staff Report/6-17-93 E. All expenses incurred by the City or the subdivider in the Replat process shall be borne by the subdivider, including costs of notice of public hearing. Staff has reviewed the proposed replat and finds that the revisions necessary to comply with City of La Porte requirements have been completed. There is a five foot (5') utility easement which runs along the northern property line of Lot 9 in Bay Oaks. If the requested replat is approved, this easement will bisect a portion of Lot 9. As the applicant is not seeking to relocate or abandon this easement, it has not been considered as a factor in this request. Normal Zoning Ordinance setback requirements will apply to any structures built in proximity to this easement. The Development Ordinance authorizes the Planning and Zoning Commission to take the following actions when considering replat requests. The Commission may within thirty (30) days of the filing date, take one of the following actions. 1) &prove the Final Plat as filed; 2) Disapprove the Final Plat as filed, provided the reasons for such disapproval are stated in writing and a copy of the statements is signed by the Chairman of the Planning Commission. Commission action shall be noted on three (3) copies of the Final Plat, which shall be distributed to the developer, Department, and official files of the Commission. Final Plats: Effect of Approval 1) Approval of a Final Plat as filed and all accompanying documentation by the Commission, together with approval of Public Improvement Construction Documents by the Director shall result in issuance of a Development Authorization by the Department which permits the developer to begin construction of subdivision improvements. Not applicable in this case because it does not involve construction. 2) Disapproval of a Final Plat requires filing of a new Final Plat. If approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and once the changes to the replat are made and approved, the Chairman shall sign and release the replat for recordation with a 40 return map agreement. This replat complies with applicable City of La Porte Ordinance and State Law. Staff recommends approval subject to the revisions listed in this report being completed.
