Plan Commission approves Gates of Saint John plats; Unit 28 contingent on bonds
Summary
The commission approved final plat actions for Gates of Saint John: Unit 28 was approved contingent on receipt and Town Council acceptance of a performance bond and a two‑year maintenance bond (recommended $175,375); a separate minor lot split (Unit 7A Lot 888) was approved without contingencies.
The Plan Commission approved plat actions for parts of the Gates of Saint John development, setting bond conditions for one filing and approving a simple two‑lot resubdivision.
For Gates of Saint John Unit 28, the applicant presented a secondary plat; town inspection found paving and most public improvements acceptable, but street lights, signs and as‑builts remained outstanding. Town staff and the engineer recommended requiring a performance bond for outstanding items and a two‑year maintenance bond for the rest of the improvements. Ashley Abernathy summarized the conditions and proposed language for a motion: approval contingent upon receipt of a performance bond for street lights, signs and as‑builts and a maintenance bond in the amount recommended by the engineer ($175,375), with mylar signatures withheld until bonds are received and accepted by Town Council.
The motion to approve the final plat for Unit 28 with those conditions passed with all commissioners voting in favor. The commission also approved a separate final plat for a two‑lot resubdivision (Gates Unit 7A, Lot 888), where all improvements are in place; that motion passed 6–0.
Commissioners emphasized that withholding signatures until bonds are received is standard practice and that the bonds ensure completion of minor outstanding items before occupancy.
