During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on an amendment to the Northside Creek Subdivision development agreement, presented by applicant Skyler Gardner. The proposal seeks to clarify and potentially increase the density of the development, which has been a point of contention since its inception.

The applicant is requesting either three additional single-family residences or six townhomes, a significant shift from the original agreement. The Planning Commission previously reviewed the application and recommended approval for the addition of three single-family homes, but indicated that further measures would be necessary to accommodate the proposed six townhomes.

A critical aspect of the discussion involved the historical context of the development agreement, which dates back to 2007. It was revealed that the final plat recorded at that time contained errors in the calculation of total density. Initially, the development was permitted 22 units, with an additional three units granted as bonus density, allowing for a total of 25 units. However, due to the miscalculations in the final plat, these errors were carried over into the development agreement, complicating the current request for additional density.

As it stands, the Northside Creek development currently comprises 22 units, and the applicant is seeking to rectify the previous errors to justify the request for increased density. The outcome of this amendment could significantly impact the future of the Northside Creek Subdivision and its surrounding community.
