Review and possible approval of a Certified Survey Map for Parcel #/A444200003. Zoning Administrator Schwark stated this is a 4 lot certified survey map on Greenway Court. This is a vacant parcel where we previously approved a conditional use permit for contractor shops for business or storage purposes. The applicant is now proposing a CSM Plan & Architectural Review Meeting Minutes July 14, 2025 Page 3 so that each shop can be sold individually as opposed to being rented. The proposed CSM appears to comply with all of the standards and minimum lot requirements of the technology park district. Again this would split it out into four separate parcels with some unplatted land in the back. Staff recommendation is to approve this Certified Survey Map with conditions. McCormick has one question on the survey. There are four lots upfront and lot 3 and 4 in the back. Are those going to be shared. Why do they have duplicate lot numbers. Zoning Administrator Schwark stated that lot three in the back is part of another certified survey map. That is going to be the area where the existing parcel is to remain. The new lots being created are lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 up front. Motion to approve with planner's recommendations. Motion made by Board Member Dawsey Smith, Seconded by Board Member Stoneman.
