The Sheridan Planning Commission convened on February 10, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, including the approval of the meeting agenda and the minutes from the previous meeting. Chairman Todd Windsor opened the session, confirming all members had received the agenda. A motion to approve the agenda was made and unanimously passed.

The commission then reviewed the minutes from the last meeting, with no corrections or additions noted. A motion to approve the minutes was also made and carried without opposition.

The primary focus of the meeting was the consideration of PL 24-41, the preliminary plat for Riverstone Park Phase 2. Kelly, a representative from the planning department, presented details about the proposed subdivision located at 1150 Dovetail Lane. This area, covering 98 acres and zoned as a gateway district, is governed by a master plan adopted in April 2024.

The proposed subdivision includes 39 lots, with 37 designated for single-family homes and two larger lots reserved for future development. The average minimum lot size is compliant with the master plan, and the development will incorporate necessary setbacks. Open space requirements will be met through future park dedications, with a total of 21.3 acres of open space planned for the area.

Kelly highlighted that the development aligns with a previously approved traffic report, ensuring that access points and road layouts are consistent with city planning standards. Dovetail Lane will serve as the primary access route, with additional roads planned to facilitate future phases of the subdivision.

The commission engaged in discussions regarding procedural matters and the implications of the proposed development, emphasizing the importance of adhering to established planning protocols. The meeting concluded with a consensus on the need for further review and consideration of the preliminary plat in upcoming sessions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the commission's commitment to thorough planning and community development, setting the stage for future discussions on Riverstone Park Phase 2 and other related projects.
