Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada explained that this is the Dittmer Commercial Preliminary Plat and there is also a letter requesting some things to be waived. This property is on 29th st and Iris Avenue. 
Richard Onnen with E & A Consulting Group, Inc. provided copies of the preliminary and final plat to the planning commission members. Onnen explained that this is in C-1 zoning and it is 9.5 acres. There are 7 commercial lots the parking is conceptual. The letter submitted for variances requested the following:
1. To allow private roadways within the development.
(Article 3 Subdivision Regulations, 11-307, (12))
2. To allow cross parking to meet required parking requirements within Lots 2 through 7.
(Article 5 Supplementary Regulations, 11-508, (2)(c))

Easement on Lot 1.

4. To allow the sidewalk along the south side Big Mac Drive, adjacent to Outlot A, not to be installed until
such time as Outlot A is developed or the City of Crete determines necessary.
(Article 5 Supplementary Regulations, 11-524, (2)(b))
5. To allow the sidewalk and street trees along the east side of Iris Avenue, adjacent to Outlot A, not to be
installed until such time as Outlot A or the property south of Outlot A is developed or at such time as the

Ourada explained that the private streets would be to city standards. There will be no parking on the streets. Sidewalks on the south side will be required or when the city deems it necessary. Ourada explained that the City would plow through there to the residential area, and it would be up to the association to plow inside the commercial area.  Planning Commission member Justin Kozisek asked about a traffic light on 29th Street. Ourada explained that there could be a future traffic study. 

Ourada explained that the preliminary plat includes all the requirements. 
The final plat includes all the guarantees that the developer will include.
