Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of March 1, 2018: Case No. 18-05 Petition of AIRPORT PLAZA JOINT VENTURE, LLC, to amend the Preliminary Plat of a major subdivision (6 or more lots) located in the 5100-5200 BLOCKS OF EAST FITZGERALD ROAD. It was moved and seconded(Myatt/Peck) to forward Case No. 18-05 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval as set forth in the staff recommendation. Mrs. Joselyn Stewart was sworn in by Mrs. Janet Poland. Mrs. Stewart discussed and presented the recommendation of staff: The subject site is approximately 16.55 acres. A 31-lot Preliminary Plat came before you on September 7,2017 and was recommended for approval. It was approved by City Council on October 16, 2017. Since the approval by Council a few changes have been proposed to the Preliminary Plat and that is why it is being amended today. 1. One of the changes was that the number of lots was reduced from 31 to 30. 2. The two separate detention basins shown on the previously approved plat have also been consolidated to become a larger detention basin for the subdivision, occupying a large portion of the proposed Lot Two (2). 3. Many of the utility easements have been relocated and redesigned. The flood plain area in the southwestern portion of the site is now proposed to become part of residential Lots 14 and 15. The street pattern remains the same. Staff recommended approval of the Amended Preliminary Plat with the following conditions: a. Provide as-builts of all public improvements. b. The sanitary pump station on Fitzgerald Road must be brought into working condition with a successful start-up with manufacturer representative, City, and Sanitary District of Decatur present for the start-up. Prior to startup submersible pumps must be removed, tested within a controlled environment by manufacture representative. Pumps shall be repaired as per manufacturer recommendations. The wet well hatch and control panel door shall be repaired as necessary to allow for proper closure. c. Provide a bond or agreement with the owners of Southeast Place, Southeast Plaza 4th Addition, the City of Decatur and IDOT that traffic signals must be installed at the intersection of Mt. Zion Road and Fitzgerald Road when signal warrants are met and when the City and IDOT permit their installation. d. The infrastructure as approved on the amended Preliminary Plat must be installed and approved by the Public Works Department. Staff presented slides of the site and surrounding properties (available for viewing upon request). Mrs. Mary Cave, representative of the petitioner, was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. Mrs. Cave stated Lot 31 was removed and consumed by Lot 14 and Lot 15. The detention pond was moved so more trees will be retained on the western side of the property. Utility easements were also moved to accommodate the drainage. There were no questions and no objectors present. Upon call of the roll, Commission members Bill Clevenger, Bruce Frantz,Jack Myatt, Kent Newton, Susie Peck, Terry Smith and Chairman Glenn Livingston voted aye.
