2. FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR JUBILEE SUBDIVISION PHASE 2E PHASE I.
Ms. Erin Callahan presented item two. Jeremy Shell of RESPEC, representing Avalon Jubilee LLC, has requested final plat approval for Jubilee
Phase 2E Phase 1 located south of Red River Rd SW and north of Sundance St. SW in the Jubilee subdivision. Erin explained that the Village
records the plat – she was going to delay recording until she has the final approved walk through by Molzen-Corbin. Jubilee subdivision –
developers have been going through these to reconfigure the original platting of these plats in phases. This request does create the lots
shown and reconfigures two streets that are shown within the red circle. When the final plat is recorded, that approves the public utility
easements – there is no concern over the public utility development. Roads will be privately maintained, however, we do request a final
walk through to make sure they are developed to the Village’s standards. Mayor Griego asked Council if they had any questions – there were
none. Mayor Griego asked Jeremy Shell if he had any questions – he replied that he stands by Erin’s comments. Mayor Griego asked the
public if there were any questions – there were none. Mayor Griego asked for a motion to close public hearing.
APPROVAL: Motion to close.
