Preserve at Taylor Bayou Extension for SCD05-008 January 1 7, 2008 Page 2 of2 Conclusion: Since approval of the SCUP from City Council, Final Plat for Phase I was approved at the Commission's December 15,2005, meeting. Later on, the construction drawings and major development site plan for multi-family project were submitted to the City. However, no construction occurred at the site. The project has encountered some difficulties and the developer still needs to address the following issues: Nature Preserve - ownership, responsibility for its maintenance, and dedication instrument must be established and approved by the City. CCRs - Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for the proposed project needs to be submitted for the City Attorney's approval. Maintenance Bond - Proof of funding for comprehensive general liability and maintenance from the bank as an alternative or reserve fund mechanism must be provided to the City. Army Corps of Engineers - An updated letter from the Army Corps of Engineers needs to be submitted. Traffic Study - Traffic calming devices/tools, right turn lane, and commitment for fmancial contribution towards the project. Staff reviewed the request for another one-year extension and found no notable changes in the development conditions that would affect the subject property. Infrastructure requirements are the same as they were when this project received initial approval. The sanitary sewer for the development will be connected to a new trunk main constructed north to the adjacent development of "Lakes at Fairmont Greens." Permits from the Army Corps of Engineers, Harris County and Harris County Flood Control District must be presented to the City prior to issuance of the building permit. Section 1 06-659( c) of the Code of Ordinances provides that the applicant may request an extension for one additional year, and the Planning and Zoning Commission may grant such extension. Staff is recommending approval of an additional one-year extension of the Special Conditional Use Permit and Amended General Plan approved by City Council and the Final Plat for Phase I previously presented to the Commission.
