The project will go through two parallel processes – the plat process, and the plan process. Each process has its own naming convention.
Plat (SMP2022 0001)
The plat process creates lots that can then be purchased. There will be a preliminary plat approval (SMP2022 0001) which will be considered by the Planning Commission at their meeting on December 13, 2022. Final plat approval will have a project number assignment and be scheduled for the Planning Commission only after the preliminary plat is approved.
Plan (ARF2022 0001)
The plan process allows the Commission to weigh in on design features of the proposed project. The preliminary plan for this subdivision was approved November 8, 2022 by the Planning Commission. You can find details under ARP2022 0001, above. The preliminary plan that shows how the development will be built.
The construction of the development is proposed in phases, and each phase will require a final plan. At their meeting on December 13, 2022, the Planning Commission will consider the Final Plan for Phase 1, which would create 96 housing units. While the preliminary plan showed the general development, the final plans will hone in on the details of development, such as verifying necessary parking, determining snow storage areas, determining location of mail boxes, and determining where trash collection will be.
