A Preliminary Plat for Alexander's Crossing was submitted, which requires that the Planning Commission review and approve or disapprove the plat within sixty (60) days of it being deemed complete. The applicant is proposing to subdivide seven (7) existing Mixed Use (MU-5) zoned parcels, totaling 138.4 acres, into three hundred eighty (380) lots including 266 single-family residential lots and 114 townhouse lots. The lots will be served by public water and sewer will be accessed from Massaponax Church Road. The plat has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee (TRC) in accordance with Section 20-4.1.4, Required Preliminary Plat Information, and the applicant was present at the TRC meeting on March 9, 2017, where comments were provided on items that need to be addressed for the plat to receive approval. The applicant has acknowledged the needed changes but has not been able to make the necessary revisions within the 60 day time period. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny of the preliminary plat as it is not in compliance with the requirements of Section 20-4.4.1 of the Subdivision Ordinance. A denial of the preliminary plat will require that the applicant address the comments of the TRC and resubmit the plat, resetting the 60 day clock.
