WHEREAS, the Village of Antwerp approved the preliminary plat of the Maumee Landing Subdivision submitted by Olen McMichael, the developer for the Maumee Landing Subdivision.  Said preliminary plat was discussed, approved and accepted by the council at its regular meeting on May 8, 2006; however, the minutes from that meeting failed to reflect council’s action on the preliminary plat.  At the special meeting of the council on July 30, 2008, the council renewed its motion to accept the preliminary plat for the Maumee Landing Subdivision, which motion was passed by a unanimous vote of the council members present.

 

WHEREAS, Olen McMichael has submitted the final plat of the Maumee Landing Subdivision – Phase 4 (Lot 7) to the Village of Antwerp Planning Commission, as well as to the Village of Antwerp Council, as required by Ordinance No. 94-17, the Village Subdivision Ordinance.

 

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended that the final plat for Phase 4 (Lot 7) of the Maumee Landing Subdivision and the infrastructure improvements provided thereon be accepted with the modification that the final coat of asphalt for the streets identified in the final plat be applied at a later date to accommodate future developments in the Maumee Landing Subdivision with the further requirement that the developer attend a meeting of the Village Council at least once each calendar year to discuss the timing for the application of the final coat of asphalt.

 

WHEREAS, the final plat has been prepared by a licensed land surveyor, and in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance, Ordinance No. 94-17, action will be taken by the Village Council within thirty (30) days after the submission of the final plat.
