TMAPC Comments:

Mr. Boyle asked what the Planning Commission would be doing by acting on a sketch plat.  In response, Mr. Bruce stated that there have been discussions at the Policy Committee meetings on the Subdivision Regulations, and his interpretation of these actions that the PC still has the ability to review the preliminary plat and TAC and has the ability the review the preliminary plat, at which time additional conditions could be placed at that time.  Mr. Bruce further stated that the applicant would continue through the preliminary plat and the final platting process.  Mr. Bruce commented that the plat is being called a sketch plat at this time in order to look for deal breakers.  Mr. Bruce stated that at this time there are no major issues with this particular proposed development.

 

Mr. Boyle stated that actually the approval of the Planning Commission really doesn't mean anything with regard to this sketch plat.  In response, Mr. Boulden affirmed Mr. Boyle's statement.

 

Mr. Boyle stated that he has a problem with the utility easements on the sketch plat.  In response, Mr. Bruce stated that during the TAC meeting the consensus was that the utility easements would be dealt with during the platting process.  Mr. Boyle stated that, this being the case, he has no problem with approving this sketch plat.
