EXPLANATION:

The subject property is zoned PD3-5A and is currently undeveloped. The PSE is serves as a companion item to the concept and development plan.
The PSE is commonly referred to as a "preliminary plat" in other municipalities. The Westlake Code of Ordinances defines a PSE as follows:
"A preliminary site evaluation is required for all major subdivisions prior to the construction of improvements. A preliminary site evaluation shall be labeled "preliminary site evaluation." A preliminary site evaluation is not a preliminary or final plat. It is a development tool for the benefit of the landowner and the town to allow the town and landowner to work together cooperatively. The time limits applicable to plats do not apply to a preliminary site evaluation. Any reference to a "preliminary plat" in the Westlake ordinances shall be understood to mean preliminary site evaluation."
