• Street Light The applicant has submitted a cop} the plat to H.L.& P. for a street light layout and cost estimate to be approved by the City once it is completed. The developer will be required to pay construction cost and electrical • service cost for one year. These monies will be deposited with the City in an escrow account until such time as construction installation is complete. This payment shall be made prior to the Final Plat document being released for recordation. Once complete, the City will make payment to H.L.& P. • Street Signs: The City of La Porte will, at the developer's expense, install street signage in the subdivision. The Public Works Department is currently preparing a cost estimate for Section VII. Release of the Final Plat for recordation should not take place until this fee has been paid to the City. • Park Land Dedication: Adequate park land for the subdivision was dedicated as part of the Section V plat. • Utility Construction Plans: These plans have been submitted, reviewed, and approved by staff. Conclusion: Development Ordinance, Section 4.04.B states that following review of the Final Plat, the Commission shall take one of the following actions: 1. Approve the Final Plat as filed; • 3. Disapprove the Final Plat as filed. 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. Disapproval of a Final Plat requires filing of a new Final Plat. A Final Plat shall not be recorded until executed by the Director and by the Commission. Before the Final Plat is executed, the developer shall follow the procedure provided for in the Development Ordinance, Section 4.04, and construct the proposed improvements according to the approved plans and specifications. Based on our review, staff recommends approval of the Glen Meadows, Section VII, Final Plat with the provision that the plat not be released for recordation until • a copy of the recorded warranty deed for the Section II land trade is provided to the City. • letters from the franchise utility companies approving utility easements are submitted to the City. • payment is made to the City for street lighting service and street signage installation.
