Summary

The commission approved rezoning about 4.71 acres from agricultural to Business Park and both preliminary and final plats for the Butler 3rd Subdivision after a presentation noting existing water, sewer and stormwater in place and FEMA floodplain mapping on portions of the lots.

The Planning Commission approved three related items for Butler 3rd Subdivision: a rezoning from Ag to Business Park (BP) for roughly 4.71 acres, a preliminary plat and a 5.05‑acre final plat that converts Chase Avenue right‑of‑way to dedicated public street and reflects recent changes to nearby development.

Craig Bennett of Miller and Associates, representing Butler Machinery Company, said the parcel lies west of Chase Avenue and north of the NRD outfall channel and that existing 12‑inch water main, fire hydrants and a 15‑inch sanitary sewer main are available to serve the future lots. Bennett noted that a portion of the site lies within FEMA‑mapped special flood hazard areas (the transcript describes a 1%/100‑year and a 0.2%/500‑year area) but said limited fill could raise building areas above the 100‑year elevation. "No improvements for infrastructure will need to be made on this particular property," Bennett told the commission.

Melissa, city planner, said staff found the rezoning and plats consistent with the future land‑use map and the 2016 comprehensive plan and recommended approval. Commissioners considered the presentation, opened a public hearing with no speakers, and voted separately to approve the rezoning (item 6), the preliminary plat (item 7) and the final plat (item 8). The separate approvals will be processed per city recording procedures.
