Resolution - (Quasi-Judicial) Final Plat Approval of Creek View Cluster Subdivision Located in the Vicinity of Northwest 29th Avenue and Northwest 22nd Drive. Petition 89SUB-03DB (B)
Explanation
The City Development Review Board considered a request to approve a design plat of Creek View Cluster Subdivision at a public hearing held August 14, 2003. By a vote of 3-1, the Development Review Board approved Petition 89SUB-03DB with staff conditions. On September 22, 2003, the City Commission approved the design plat of Creek View Cluster Subdivision.
