SUBJECT:
Council Consideration of a Resolution Approving and Authorizing the Final Plat for Parkside Estates, Filing I, to the City of Gillette, Wyoming, Subject to all Planning Requirements.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is seeking Final Plat approval for 36 new single family residential lots in an R-1, Single Family Residential District. The Final Plat also includes one (1) tract of land for future commercial development which is zoned C-1, General Commercial District.

The 11.83 acre property is located north of Pintail Drive near the intersection of Butler Spaeth Road and Pintail Drive. The property is currently vacant and is planned for single family residential development with the proposed lots averaging 9,678 square feet in size. Tract F is being reserved for future commercial development and is just over one (1) acre in size.   

The Final Plat includes two (2) other tracts, Tract G and Tract H, which will be given to the City for drainage purposes at the time of Final Plat recording.  The property has one (1) abandoned gas well which is located in Cianna Court. The abandoned gas well is not anticipated to cause any significant issues with the development, however grading may be impacted. The applicant and agent have worked extensively with City staff to ensure the drainage design will be adequate. The applicant has agreed to fence out the drainage easements prior to beginning residential construction so potential homeowners will know the yard area that may be fenced. This will help alleviate issues with fences that are illegally constructed in drainage easements.  

The Final Plat is in substantial compliance with the approved Preliminary Plat. City Council approved the Preliminary Plat on August 19, 2014 and the Planning Commission recommended approval on August 12, 2014. The Parks and Beautification Board reviewed and approved the Preliminary Plat on July 24, 2014. The developer will pay the Parkland Development fee of $350 per lot prior to recording the Final Plat.
