No. 01PL046 - Plum Creek: Phase I
A request by Centerline for Double E, LLC to consider an application for a Final Plat on Lots 1 thru 4 of Block 1; and R.O.W. of Willowbend Road, Willowbend Place, and temporary ingress egress easement located in the N1/2 of the SW1/4 of Section 16, T1N, R8E, BHM, Rapid City, Pennington County, South Dakota, more generally described as being located at the intersection of Willowbend Road and Willowbend Place.

Council approved the plat at the July 2, 2001 meeting contingent on the subdivision fees being paid prior to recording the plat with the stipulation that the fees would be paid prior to July 16, 2001 or the item would be reconsidered by City Council.  As the fees have not been paid, staff recommends that the Final Plat approval be reconsidered and that the Final Plat request be continued to the August 6, 2001 Council Meeting.
