Approval of a Preliminary Plat and Final Plat for Milo’s Ridge
Senior Planner, Andy Kass, introduced the request for approval of a Preliminary Plat and a Final Plat
for the project Milo’s Ridge made by the applicants Patrick & Marilea Morris in order to split a
residential lot. The property is generally located north of N. Little Walnut Creek Drive and west of N.
Warrior lane and contains approximately 6.02 acres.
Mr. Kass advised that water services will be extended as needed for lot 2, and that the County would
need to be contacted for coordinating septic service for the same lot. Mr. Kass also advised that by
splitting the parcel, the City would not be creating any nonconforming parcels to City Ordinance.
At this time staff is comfortable with the site plan and would recommend approval subject to
remaining staff comments.
• Commissioner Schmidt asked for clarifications on the creek crossing lines. Mr. Kass advised
the marks indicated the creek and the overland flowage easement, not the 100 year flood plain.
A motion was made by Commissioner Schmidt, and seconded by Commissioner Stonebrook,
to approve the Final Plat for Milo’s Ridge. Ayes: Stonebrook, Broderick, Tietz, and Schmidt.
Nays: None. Motion Carries.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: All staff comments have been addressed. Staff recommends
approval.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution
