Planning commission approves final PUD for August Manor, holds covenant paperwork until council review
Summary
The Maryville Planning Commission voted 6-0 to approve a final planned unit development for 17.18 acres called August Manor and to sign and hold MILRs in the Planning and Building Office pending town council action. Commissioners and staff noted stormwater, emergency access and covenant preparation remain outstanding procedural steps.
The Maryville Planning Commission voted 6-0 Tuesday to approve a final planned unit development for a 17.18-acre subdivision to be called August Manor and authorized signing the MILRs (documents submitted by the petitioner) to be held in the Planning and Building Office until the town council considers the PUD.
The vote follows a staff presentation and remarks from the petitioner’s engineer. “I was at the study session. The questions that were asked at the study session, I believe have all been answered,” said Don Toringa of Toringa Engineering, who said he was representing Tony Perino and Jarper Properties, LLC. Sheila Shine, the planning and building director, advised the commission the ordinance and covenants still must be finalized by attorneys before the item reaches council.
Commissioners and staff said the developer has engineering and stormwater approvals in place and that infrastructure plans call for sanitary sewers, curbs and gutters, paved streets, a common water supply, storm sewers and street lights. A staff report said surface water will be discharged along existing channels with on-site subdivision retention. The developer was asked about emergency access to cul-de-sacs; engineering and fire department reviews have addressed turning radiuses, and the petitioner said fire apparatus can pass through the proposed streets.
Commissioners discussed whether to sign the MILRs at the meeting or wait until council review. A motion was made to approve the final PUD and sign the MILRs with the condition that the documents be held in the Planning and Building Office pending town council approval; the motion was seconded by Chris Malander and passed by roll call, 6-0. The commission did not identify a specific start date for construction; staff noted the petitioner holds a stormwater permit and could begin work once other contractual arrangements (for example, selecting a contractor) are in place.
The petitioner asked whether attendance at the council meeting was required; staff replied attendance was optional but advisable. Sheila Shine said the covenants and the ordinance must be finalized by town attorneys before the item is placed on the council agenda, and that council consideration could be scheduled for a later meeting if attorneys need more time.
The approval is procedural: the commission’s action is a recommendation and the PUD must receive final approval from the town council before zoning change and certain covenants take effect. The petitioner and staff said they will continue coordination with the town attorney’s office and with engineering staff to finalize the remaining documents.
