The postponement was requested to allow for additional preparation time and was granted by the Commission. **Tom Martin** [timestamp: 00:05:39] reported that the applicant for PLAN 2014-101F requested a one-month postponement. The new hearing date was set for February 12, 2015, and the Commission approved this postponement request. ## PLAN 2014-101F: Long Valley Farm, KY, Inc., Unit 2-B (AMD) The Planning Commission considered the final subdivision plan for Long Valley Farm, KY, Inc., Unit 2-B during this agenda item [timestamp: 00:05:39]. **Outcome** The Planning Commission postponed action on this final subdivision plan.

Motion has been made and seconded for the approval of the consent agenda as read. if there's no further questions please vote when it comes up on the screen that motion passes thank you thank you everyone I'm sure we'll lose a large part of the audience with that our first item and remaining item on the agenda is at the bottom of page one under preliminary subdivision plans plan 2007-197p Masterson Hills This is for reapproval. It continues on page two. Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, members of the commission, this plan is indeed on page one of your agenda, a preliminary subdivision plan, 2007-197P, Masterson Hills, Unit 1. This is preliminary subdivision. I don't think you're on. There we are. All right. Thank you. This is a preliminary subdivision plan for the Masterson Hills area. Here we have the school site. This is the elementary school site that fronts on Sandersville Road up in this location. Here we have Old Tibbs Trail, which continues this way and connects in this fashion. Right here is where we have the cemetery. This is not a part of this plan, but you saw this most recently because this had to be relotted. Because instead of this layout, there's now a cemetery here. And so they have real long lots coming off this frontage, you may remember. and then they served the back with a cul-de-sac. So that's the biggest change that's happened in this area with the exception, of course, of the school site, which also changed the layout and the lotting in this area. This particular area, the subdivision plan, it is in for reapproval. It has been reapproved by this body once before. It originally had streets going through and being connected And it was amended by the Planning Commission into the pattern that you see today with the cul-de-sacs. We are recommending that it be reapproved subject to the conditions on your agenda with the added condition of the cap approval, of course, which is now a new condition for most plans in our community. The area is a little over 30 acres, and there are 202 lots shown in this particular layout. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Any questions for Mr. Martin? Thank you, sir. Anything to add, Mr. Kaylee? It's good seeing you here today. I present no one else in the audience that wants to speak, I presume. Commission members have anything else? If not, I'll entertain a motion. Patrick? Mr. Chairman, I move for re-approval of Plan 2007-197P. Motion's been made and seconded for the re-approval of Plan 2007-197P with the now 10 conditions. Please vote when it comes up on the screen. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Cayley. You can say you were part of probably what's going to be one of the shortest sessions around. On the last page, page 5, we do have performance bonds and letter of credit that's before you that we need to approve as well. Comment was Mr. Craven's not here, so we're going to have to wait on this. Anyone else want to take this on? Yes, sir. Mr. Chair, I recommend approval of the release of call bonds. Motion has been made and seconded for the release of call of bonds dated January 15, 2015. That's on the memo before you. Please vote. Motion passes. See, Mr. Craven's shoes wasn't that hard to fill. I'm sorry. Commission items, staff items, audience items. Our next meeting is next week, which is January 22. Does that sound right? Yes, sir. That's a work session here in this room.
