Unit 2 is located in the northern and western portions Of the development with frontage along both 135th Street and Van Dyke Road. Unit 2 identifies a school site, park site and 209 single-family units on approximately 93 acres. The applicant is applying for the remainder of the development, which allows for economy of scale by doing the improvements such as the applicant's full obligation for Van Dyke Road improvements at one time. Due to sewer capacity constraints, the applicant will only apply to the EPA for 100 units of the development. It is possible that the applicant may record only part of the plat due to limitations from sewer capacity. This is possible since it would be less than what is identified for approval for all of Unit 2. The non-recorded portion would require re-approval by the Board. Staff has suggested that they include along with the 4 stipulations another stipulation that the Letter of Credit only apply to areas being developed. The Developer, Allan Fry was present and heard the discussions, stated that he understood and agreed to apply for only 100 units per the presentation. S.
