Council approves Harris Village preliminary/final plat and rezoning to PUD for 10-lot subdivision on East Harris Road
Summary
The council approved a preliminary and final plat and an accompanying rezoning to a planned unit development (PUD) for the Harris Village subdivision on East Harris Road; the development will create 10 single-family lots on about 2.316 acres with reduced lot sizes under the PUD standards.
The Muskogee City Council on Aug. 11 approved the preliminary and final plat and the rezoning to a planned unit development (PUD) for Harris Village, a proposed 10-lot subdivision on East Harris Road.
Planning staff said the application was submitted by Kell Properties LLC and that the subdivision review committee approved the plat on July 25, 2025. The proposed development covers about 2.316 acres and will be limited to single-family residences; staff said the PUD reduces the standard lot-size requirements to allow smaller lots than the city's usual 7,200-square-foot standard.
The presenter said dwellings will be a maximum of 2½ stories (35 feet) with an average living area of about 2,000 square feet excluding garages and that the plat adds two fire hydrants to serve the new addition. The PUD sets its own setback and lot-size standards and addresses off-street parking and buffering along the subdivision perimeter.
"The PUD does reduce the restrictions on the residential lot size requirements," planning staff said in the presentation. Applicant representative Mason Kale told the council the smaller lots are being marketed in part to retirees who want smaller yards that are easier to maintain; he confirmed sidewalks are planned for the neighborhood.
On the preliminary and final plat vote, the motion passed with a majority but one council member voted no. The subsequent rezoning ordinance to PUD also passed on roll call, and staff recommended approval of both items.
Planning staff said the PUD includes required findings such as consistency with the comprehensive plan, impact on public facilities, parking and traffic, and buffering, and staff concluded that the submitted standards meet the review criteria.
