The property is described as part of Section 23, Township 44 North, Range 12 West, Jefferson City, Missouri (Central Missouri Professional Services, Consultant). Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that this proposal is for the approval of a Revised Preliminary and Final Plat for Lage Ridge Subdivision, Section Two. He stated that in the process of developing the subdivision, the developer decided to modify the street layout and lot arrangement of the second phase of the subdivision. Mr. Barron explained that the revised layout would eliminate one short cul-de-sac street and three (3) lots. He stated that the revised subdivision plat eliminates the previously planned smaller cul-de-sac, therefore the street plan is for only one long cul-de-sac named Trenton Court. Mr. Barron explained that Reserve Tract A would accommodate a stormwater detention basin. He stated that Reserved Tract B would be granted to the City to provide permanent access to the detention basin. Mr. Mike Bates, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E.

He explained that there were some initial concerns about the usability of the lots. Mr. Bates stated that the cul-de-sac street to the north, with an additional four lots, would decrease the usability of the other lots on the main street. He explained that these grades will leave the lots in a situation that will not be readily usable. Mr. Bates stated that after meeting with the City the developer asked to come back with a revised preliminary and final plat. No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received. Mr. Wade gave the Engineering Division staff report.
