The plat consists of four (4) outlots intended for future office park and commercial development. The lots ranges in size from 10.92 acres to 24.50 acres. The applicant is platting the property as outlots so that they are able to sell off property for development. Further platting of each outlot will be required as development occurs. FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request on July 10, 2018, and recommended approval subject to remaining staff comments. Approval of a Final Plat for The Shops at Kettlestone North Plat 4 Senior Planner Andy Kass introduced the request made by the applicant ARAC, LLC for approval of a Final Plat for office and retail development. The subject property contains approximately 6 9.5 acres of property located west of Grand Prairie Parkway and North of Ashworth Drive. Mr. Kass advised that the lot was originally one out lot, but the owner has an interest in dividing out the property into 4 out lots for sale. These individual lots will have to be platted before any development occurs on them. Public improvements are wrapping up in the area so all utilities will be extended to each out lot and storm water will be partially in the South regional detention, with additional detention required with future development.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if a final plat could be approved prior to road completion. Mr. Kass advised that since they are just out lots, yes. The City is comfortable with the protections such as approval of site plans or issuance of building permits to hold the developer to finishing the public improvements.  Commissioner Streit questioned about the square cut out of land not included in the plat that borders Grand Prairie Parkway. mr. Kass advised that the parcel has a separate owner than the current subject property. Access to the stand alone property would be available off of SE Esker Ridge Drive. J6 Commissioner Hoifeldt made a motion to approve the Final Plat for the Shops at Kettletone North Plat 4. Commissioner Streit seconded the motion. Ayes: Ward, Sandie, Streit, Tietz, and Hoifeldt.
