Unidentified Speaker 1 introduced the Apple Grove Condominiums final application: five buildings with 12 units each (60 units total). Staff and the developer described prior preliminary approvals and development agreement revisions; however, multiple city departments said the submission did not clearly align infrastructure, parking, landscaping and amenity phasing with the separate condominium plats.

Kyle Spencer of Northern Engineering (Speaker 7) told the committee that each building was intended to stand on its own plat and that the team planned to build buildings in sequential order. "We're planning on doing the building in that same sequential order," Spencer said, explaining that Building C would be a trigger for completing underground infrastructure, parking and landscaping for later phases.

Planning and engineering staff said the submitted phasing sheets did not clearly match the parking and landscaping phasing, and they asked for a more explicit phasing plan so Certificates of Occupancy can be issued appropriately for completed buildings. Staff also requested a POS certificate, USPS acknowledgment, correction of sheets that still read "preliminary" (they should read "final"), addressing and unit-numbering on plat sheets, and verification of sewer lateral stubs to Building B.

Fire department staff raised operational concerns about fire-apparatus access during phased construction and asked that the applicant provide either a dedicated turnaround or compacted road base so engines do not have to back out during construction. The transcript references the fire code Appendix D in connection with turnaround/turning-radius guidance.

Because phasing remained unclear, Speaker 6 moved to table the application until a clarified phasing plan and corrected red-line items are provided; the motion was seconded by Randy (Building Department, Speaker 3) and passed by voice vote. Staff advised the applicants to address the red-line items and return, with each phase presented as a separate agenda item so the DRC can consider them individually.

Why it matters: The phasing plan determines when infrastructure, parking and amenities will be constructed and when COOs can be issued for each building; unclear phasing creates uncertainty for construction sequencing, public-safety access and resident impacts.

Next steps: Applicants must provide a clear phasing plan aligned with infrastructure and landscape sheets, submit required certificates (POS, USPS, PLSS if applicable), correct plan-sheet labels to "final," and clarify addressing and sewer lateral connections. The DRC expects the matter will return to the agenda once those items are resolved.
