NEW BUSINESS: Parkland Meadows – building permit request – The existing minor PUD amendment to
allow issuance of building permits prior to Final Plat requires fire protection, paved roads, functioning hydrants,
final plat application, and pins to be set. Presently, the lift station is not complete, water and sewer are only 75%
complete, and there is no all-weather road in place. An incomplete final plat application was submitted as a
requirement to obtain building permits, but will not be complete until summer 2023. Due to regulations, Planning
cannot take the application to Council and will be contacting the applicant. Planning advised that the existing PUD
would cover permits without the pump in the lift station, but fire and water would need to be addressed prior to
bringing any combustible material onto the site. The committee discussed the Lot 7 hydrant location and
operational status. Edge will contact Fire for their requirements. Public Works will require water and sewer
(including the lift station) to be complete except for the pump. Edge will send landscape plans to Parks today.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:56 AM.
