Title
Review and Consideration of a Request to Approve a Minor Modification of the Development Plan for Spring Lake Estates (ZC#06-003B)
Requested Action
To consider the proposed minor modification of the Development Plan
Description/History
In 2006, the City Council approved the original Development Plan for Spring Lake Estates showing 125 lots and a 4.266 acre tract reserved for a drill site with 8 wells. As part of the zoning approval, the 20 lots closest to the drill site could not be constructed until drilling was complete.
Six of the wells have been drilled. The developer has made an agreement with Atlas Energy to complete drilling of the 2 remaining wells by April 2015. After that, Atlas Energy will forego any further drilling at the site.
The developer is seeking a minor modification to start the construction of the 20 remaining lots in November 2014 before drilling is complete. As noted in the modified conditions on page 2 of the Development Plan, the City will not accept the subdivision or issue any building permits until the gas well operator provides notification to the City that drilling is complete.
