Oak Grove approves development agreement for Edgewood Meadows subdivision, conditions set for amenities and road improvements
Summary
The board approved a development agreement covering roughly 79 acres and 236 lots in the Edgewood Meadows subdivision; Phase 1 (49 lots) is ready to proceed, and the developer must widen Fifth Street and complete specified amenities before later permits.
The Oak Grove Board of Alderwomen approved a development agreement March 3 with a developer identified in meeting materials as Safety Storage South, LLC (also referenced elsewhere in the packet as Blue Springs Storage South, LLC/Blue Springs Safety Storage South, LLC) for a subdivision called Edgewood Meadows.
City staff said the property was voluntarily annexed in February, retained its unincorporated agricultural zoning at annexation, and was rezoned to R-1 in May 2024 at the owner's request. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a preliminary plat for Edgewood Meadows on June 18, 2024.
The development agreement covers the entire project—approximately 79 acres and 236 lots—and requires the developer to meet city codes for public improvements including road, water, sewer and stormwater design. The agreement requires the developer to widen Fifth Street along the length of the development, install sidewalks and curb where required, and complete Tracts A and B (detention) and a clubhouse and pool as part of Phase 1 obligations.
Staff told the board Phase 1 (49 lots) has civil infrastructure reviewed and permitted by the city’s engineer and the developer had paid phase 1 permitting fees; the developer intends to begin construction this year and hopes to have lots for sale by year-end. The agreement allows phase 2 work to proceed only after specified amenities in phase 1 are complete and the city will withhold additional building permits until those requirements are met.
Board members asked practical questions about traffic impacts, the widening timeline and whether road closures would be required; staff said some temporary lane closures or detours could be necessary but there are alternate access routes through neighboring subdivisions.
A motion to approve the development agreement was made and seconded and carried by voice vote. The board recorded the action for the public record.
