Jim Weigert addressed the Commission and presented the Preliminary Plat for the 5
Neighborhoods. The plat contains 911 lots and all four of the single family residential lot
types for PD-27. The total number of lots is less than what is allotted by zoning. The
applicant has meet with staff to go over comments during the review process. There
are a few staff comments that were generated from the second review that the
applicant was not able to address prior to the meeting. Carter & Burgess agrees with
the comments and asks for approval of the plat.
Ms. Fleck addressed the Commission and discussed staff comments.
Commissioner Moss asked why there are so many outstanding comments. Mr. Rutledge
stated the comments were minor and should not delay action on the plat. Ms. Fleck
added that the turnaround period for the plat was so tight, it did not allow the
applicant adequate time to receive staff comments, make the revisions, and resubmit
to staff for review prior to the meeting.
Vice Chairman Stephens stated that he was pleased with the submission and the
applicant’s adherence to the Town’s requirements.
Commissioner Sheridan disclosed that his employer and their affiliates has worked with
Mehrdad Moayedi and Centurion American. Mr. Sheridan has personally dealt with
Centurion American regarding a sanitary sewer easement, a small land purchase that
was not executed, and an out of state land purchase, which Commissioner Sheridan
was not involved. As far as he is aware, there is not a conflict of interest and
Commissioner Sheridan does not feel this will influence his responsibility as a Planning &
Zoning Commissioner.
Commissioner Sheridan inquired about drainage. Mr. Rutledge addressed the drainage
and erosion questions.
A motion was made to approve the Preliminary Plat, contingent upon engineering
comments being resolved prior to Town Council.
