• Staff Report Kroger -Fairmont Parkway Center May 16,1996 Final Plat Background The proposed Kroger - Fairmont Parkway Center is to occupy an 10.904 acre tract of property located at 1300 Fairmont Parkway. As designed, the center will have frontage on both Fairmont Parkway and State Highway 146. The Center will be comprised of five (5) lots intended for sale to individual owners. This is the reason for designating the project as a subdivision rather than a major development. Under the terms of the Development Ordinance 1444, the center is considered to be a major subdivision. This is based on the size of the development (in excess of 10 acres). The Development Ordinance requires a two stage approval process for major subdivisions. The first stage is preliminary plat review and approval. This will be followed by submittal of a separate final plat, along with construction drawings, convenants and other applicable documents. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at its November 2, 1995, meeting, conditionally approved the subdivision's Preliminary Plat. The conditions of approval were as follows: • • Notarized letters from the record property owners authorizing the applicants to present the preliminary plat on their behalf. • Closure of Streets and Alley's located within the plat boundaries. • Inclusion of public sidewalks on the Fairmont Parkway and Highway 146 faces of the property. • Utilities to be located underground as opposed to overhead. All Plat conditions have been satisfied and all applicable fees have been paid. Analysis Staff, using Development Ordinance 1444, Section 4.04 and Appendix D as a guide, has reviewed the Kroger -Fairmont Parkway Final Plat and found it to be in substantial compliance with applicable ordinance requirements. 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. In the event the construction does not begin within one year the • applicant must re -submit the application to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
