Plan commission grants one-year extension for North Shore amendment; guarantee matches prior posting

The Monroe County Plan Commission approved a one-year performance-period extension for North Shore Amendment 1, extending the deadline to Sept. 19, 2026 and confirming a performance guarantee amount of $40,099.08.

Staff reported the final plat for North Shore Amendment 1 was recorded Oct. 29, 2008, and that the letter of credit on file ($42,000) expires Sept. 19, 2025. Planning staff recommended a one-year extension with a performance guarantee amount of $40,099.08 that reflects items staff can legally require under a subdivision improvement agreement (primarily sidewalks and street trees). The petitioner told the commission they had filed a plat amendment application and said they needed additional time for surveyor work and related steps; staff confirmed the petitioner’s application is pending.

Commissioners raised questions about whether the petition reduces the posted amount; staff explained the recommended $40,099.08 reflects adjustments that removed private improvements that are not appropriate to include in the SIA itemization. The commission voted to approve the one-year extension with a waiver of final hearing; the motion passed 8–0.

Staff will process the reduced posted amount if the petitioner elects to change the posted letter of credit; otherwise the existing $42,000 bond remains on file. The extension gives the petitioner time to complete the plat-amendment work or otherwise comply with outstanding items.
