good evening, commissioners. Let me just pull this up for you. Okay. Before you this evening is a request for approval for the final flat of the retreat at Chapman Farms, a proposed single family development located east of Southwest 7 Highway and north of Southwest Mason School Road. This property is approximately 26.29 acres and is zoned single family single family planned unit development and restricted overlay. The final plaque consists of 57 single family neighborhood lots and two tracks of land for open space. All to be developed in one phase with tract A serving as a landscape buffer and track B including a pocket park, playground, and trail connections. The proposed building type follows the detached house neighborhood lot classification and complies with the development standards approved with the PUD concept plan and preliminary plat. All lots meet the approved minimum lot size, lot width, applicable setbacks, coverage, and height requirements. Two access points for development will be provided from Southwest Chapman Farms Drive and Southwest Mason School Road. The required improvements, including all interior streets, have been completed. Public streets will comprise the internal roadway system, and all lots will have access to a sidewalk, either directly or across the street. Sidewalks will be provided on one side of all streets in accordance with the approved plan. Water will also be provided by public water supply district number 13. Storm water detention is also accommodated through modifications to an existing pond. Per UDC section 407.140, subdivisions are classified to minimize

differences and dwelling sizes within and between adjacent neighborhoods. The minimum livable floor area classification for the development is class H with a size of 1300 square ft. This is consistent with nearby developments such as Edgewater at Chapman Farms, which also has a H classification for livable floor area. For the de for this development, the required 10% open space equates to about 2.63 acres with this site including 8.34 8.43 43 acres of open space which exceeds the open space standards with tract A serving as a landscape buffer and as mentioned track B serving as um including a pocket park, playgrounds and trails. Both tracks will also contain drainage easements and landscape areas with a final PL final landscape plan which was approved with the PD concept plan. Finally, staff has reviewed the final plat application for compliance with the unified development code and finds that the proposed final plat is in substantial conformance approved preliminary plat. It meets the criteria for approval of a final plat and therefore staff recommends approval for final plat with six conditions.

Thank you, Logan. Any questions for staff? Hearing none. Is the applicant here? Would you like to speak or add anything to your project? No, Logan did a great job. Might as well let Logan do the work for you. Um, anything else up here or from staff? Look pretty clean and and simple to me. If um if there's nothing else, then I would entertain a motion. Chair. Yes. I'd move to approve. Second.

Uh final PL PF06259622 retreat at Chapman Farms first plat with the six staff conditions. Second. I have a motion and a second. All those in favor? Any opposed? And that that motion passes with six staff conditions. Next up is uh the July community development report.

So, so just a few things to note from between July 2024 and 2025. Um we've seen single family units are just up nine compared to July of 2024. Um we also saw that to total construction costs are approximately three million higher than they were last year. Um which is a good sign. Um there is a slight uptick in codes cases um compared to last July. Um and then just that our sign permits remain relatively consistent as they did with last year. Um just with a slight decrease in comparison to last year. Any questions about that?

Thank you, Logan. No problem. Any other business from up here anywhere? All right, that wraps our meeting up. If there's no other business, I would entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved. Second. Have a motion and a second. All those in favor? I. Any opposed? This meeting is officially adjourned. Thank you very much.
