# Area Plan Commission approves splitting a 12.85-acre Fruitridge Avenue property, with a flood-map error to fix first

## What happened
The commission approved subdividing a 12.85-acre commercial property at 3800 North Fruitridge Avenue — called McGuire Phase 2 — into two lots, separating an existing metal commercial building from the rest of the land for future commercial development. ([14:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaXfXADqtMo&t=847), [14:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaXfXADqtMo&t=878)) Staff flagged that the plat shows the wrong federal flood-map number and marks part of the site in the highest-risk flood zone, when a 2011 federal map revision actually moved that area to a lower-risk zone — the plat needs to be corrected before it can be filed. ([15:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaXfXADqtMo&t=908)) Sanitary sewer and public water are already available at the site, which is zoned C5 for commercial use.

## The outcome
Approved on a voice vote, on the condition the flood-zone information is corrected, an erosion-control plan is approved for any new development, and the plat is recorded within 90 days. ([15:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaXfXADqtMo&t=928))
