HEARING REQUIRED: Quasi-Judicial
SUMMARY:
The City has received a request from Rebol-Battle and Associates for Final Plat approval for the parcel located at 5760 San Gabriel Drive. The applicant is proposing a detached single family development for the 0.53 acre site to be named Gabriel Estates Subdivision. This parcel is the former site of the Scenic Heights swimming pool. The proposed plat consists of 4 lots fronting on San Gabriel that vary in size with typical proposed lot size of .15 of an acre. Each of the lots meet the regulations required by the R-2 (Residential/Office) zoning district, including setback requirements. The southernmost lot (lot 1) has been parceled out separately in a 30 foot wide lot due to an existing utility easement of 30 feet.
The Final Plat has been routed through the various City departments and utility providers. The comments received to date have been provided as attachments. The developer has opted to pay into the park escrow in lieu of dedicating a park within the project.
On September 18, 2018, the City’s Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the Final Plat.

Upon City Council approval of the final subdivision plat, a fee in the amount of $3,562.50 will be paid to the City and will be placed in the Park Purchases Trust Fund for future playground developments.
