Summary:
This is a request for approval of a final plat for St. Paul’s Catholic Church Replat on 20.85± acres, located at the northwest corner of 115th Terrace and Lone Elm Road. The subject property was rezoned from BP and RP-1 to R-2 (RZ16-0009) in November 2016 and included preliminary site development plan for St. Paul’s Catholic Church and School. A final plat (FP17-0021) that was approved in July 2017.
The replat includes 2 lots on 20.85 acres. Lot 1 is the location of the future St. Paul’s Catholic Church and school. A replat has been submitted to create Lot 2 which is located on the west side of the property between the Goddard School and the Covington Court development. The applicant states that Lot 2 will be the site of a new twin villa but staff has also been contacted about locating a community garden at this site which is also permitted in R-2 Districts. All proper applications and permits shall be submitted and approved prior to any development taking place on Lot 2. No tracts are being dedicated with this replat, however, easements are being dedicated for stormwater quality and detention.
The property is already platted and therefore exempt from street and signal excise taxes.
On January 14, 2019, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve the final plat for St. Paul’s Catholic Church with stipulations as shown in the meeting minutes, and recommended approval of the dedication of land for public purposes.
