Matson, AICP; Community Development Director <br />THROUGH: Ryan Sweeney; Chief, Current Development <br />FROM: Patrick J. Murphy, Senior Planner, Current Development <br />DATE: April 29, 2022 <br />SUBJECT: GRBK GHO Bent Pine, LLC's Request for Final Plat Approval for Bent Pine <br />Preserve Phase 2 [SD -15-01-01 / 96010108-90187] <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County <br />Commissioners at its regular meeting of May 10, 2022. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: <br />The Bent Pine Preserve Phase 2 final plat represents the second and final phase of the Bent Pine <br />Preserve subdivision. Phase 1 consists of 79 lots on 79.2 acres, resulting in a density of 1 unit/acre, <br />and was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on June 4, 2019. The plat for Phase 1 <br />was subsequently recorded in Plat Book 30, Pages 67-76. Phase 2 consists of 56 lots on 20.06 acres <br />resulting in a density of 2.79 units/acre for Phase 2, and an overall project density of 1.69 units/acre. <br />The site is located on the east side of 58h Avenue, just north of 57th Street/Bent Pine Drive (see <br />attachment 1). The property is zoned RM -4, Residential Multi -Family (up to 4 units/acre), and has <br />an L-2, Low -Density Residential -2 (up to 6 units per acre) future land use designation. <br />On February 26, 2015, the Planning & Zoning Commission granted a phased preliminary plat <br />approval for the Bent Pine Preserve subdivision. Phased approval was given to construct 134 single- <br />family lots along with tracts for recreation, conservation, stormwater, landscape, and buffers, on <br />79.2 acres. After preliminary plat approval, a previous developer (BP Preserve Partners, LLC) <br />obtained a land development permit (LDP) and commenced construction on Phase 1. On May 24, <br />2019, Public Works issued a certificate of completion for Phase 1, and the Board of County <br />Commissioners granted final plat approval on June 4, 2019. <br />On February 13, 2020, the Planning & Zoning Commission approved an extension of the Phase 2 <br />preliminary plat and LDP approvals, with conditions, and an expiration of February 26, 2023 for <br />both approvals. Subsequently, construction of the Phase 2 site improvements commenced and has <br />proceeded in accordance with the project's overall phased approval. As of this time, the developer <br />has constructed 76.7% of the required project improvements for Phase 2, and proposes to "bond <br />out" the remaining 23.3% of the required improvements. The applicant has coordinated with staff to <br />provide the following: <br />1. A final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary PD plan/plat (see attachment <br />
