The Mills Planning Commission approved the final plat for Casper Creek Edition No. 3, a 7.87-acre industrial lot proposed by Mahaghi LLC, with conditions requiring road and utility improvements before development permits are issued.

Staff presented the application, saying the property — located at the end of unimproved Dwyer Drive Northwest off Progress Circle and zoned I-1 (light industrial) — would resubdivide Lot 2, Block 1 Casper Creek Addition and an unplatted tract into a single 7.87-acre lot. "Staff recommends approval and that the planning commission recommended do pass on the final plat application," Megan said.

The commission’s approval was conditioned on several planning considerations that must be addressed at the time of site development plan submittal: constructing a city-standard access road and turnaround through the existing 30-foot access and utility easement; relocating a pipe hydrant to be accessible from the turnaround; submitting road design plans to the city engineer; entering into a subdivision improvements agreement for construction of required public improvements; and extending the water main and providing public sewer and water service to the lot. Commissioners asked about the length and ownership of the easement and whether the city requires a financial guarantee for the work. Staff said the 30-foot easement runs across adjacent properties to the east and connects to Dwyer Drive and that, while Mills’ typical practice has been to withhold building permits until infrastructure is constructed, the city rules allow requiring a financial guarantee if deemed necessary.

A motion to approve the final plat "upon completion of the planning as outlined, without any additional amendments" was made and carried by voice vote. The motion passed; the meeting record shows a voice vote of "aye" but does not record individual tallies.

The approval does not waive future development requirements; site development review must still address drainage, utility construction, and road improvements before any building permits are issued.
