Ms. Holton gave the Commissioners a map that described the different phases of the Little Creek Subdivision. To date there are 170 lots already developed. Phase VI will consist of 46 lots. Ms. Holton stated that Mr. Kozimor expects 362 more lots in future phases for a total of 578 lots. The property was annexed into the City with SF-7 zoning in 2013 at the owner’s request. This zoning requires a minimum 7,000 square-foot lots. The proposal for the 46 lots exceeds this minimum requirement. Access to the subdivision will be from Piedras Street and Starling Lane. The Preliminary Plan, PP 16-65, was approved by City Council on August 23, 2016. There is a planned detention pond that is outside of the City’s jurisdiction. Ms. Holton referred to pages 4-6 of the Staff Report regarding the drainage agreement executed by the developer, Joe Kozimor, and David Sypher with the Public Works Department. It states that staff is currently preparing a Subdivision Improvement Agreement at the developer’s request. This agreement will be recorded with the plat. Ms. Holton said she has spoken with Mr. Kozimor and he assured her that he plans to continue to develop Little Creek. Mr. Kozimor stated that he is involved in developing other properties and subdivision. He is also developing commercial property. Ms. Holton concluded that staff recommends approval subject to the petitioner and/or the surveyor resolving and meeting all deficiencies and conditions identified in the Staff Report. Joe Kozimor of 503 French Dr., Aztec, stated that he has nothing to add at this time. There were no other questions for Mr. Kozimor from the Commissioners.
