Commission grants final plat for Gates of Saint John units 29'031, contingent on performance bond

The Town of Saint John Plan Commission voted June 18 to grant final-plat approval for Gates of Saint John Units 29 through 31, subject to the developer posting the required performance letter of credit and withholding mylar signatures until improvements are completed.

Developer representative Justin Kell told the commission commercial tenants are lining up and asked for secondary-plat approval contingent upon a performance bond; engineering staff confirmed the final-plat submittal met the town's conditions and recommended withholding signatures until financial security is posted under the subdivision control ordinance.

Commissioner John Gill moved to grant the final plat conditioned on the performance bond and withholding mylar signatures, the motion was seconded and passed on roll call with all voting members present voting yes.

This action authorizes the plat to move forward once the financial security is posted and required improvements are completed or guaranteed by the posted instrument. The applicant said commercial site plans will return to the Planning Commission for site-plan approval when they are complete.
