Council approves Walnut Circle preliminary plat and development agreement, including 23.3-acre park dedication

Administrator Matt Wolf presented the Walnut Circle Development plans, which call for nine single-family lots larger than minimum R-1 requirements, a 600-foot public cul-de-sac, and a developer dedication of 23.3 acres for park and open space — more than the 10% dedication required under city code. Wolf noted the unique topography will limit mass grading and that home placement will be determined by future lot purchasers; as a condition of approval, building-permit applications must include grading plans and meet R-1 setback and utilities requirements.
