DRC reviews Eden Crest site plan amendment; townhome layout, hydrant locations discussed

The Development Review Committee considered a construction site plan (CSP) revision for Eden Crest at its March 12, 2025 meeting. The item was introduced as a first submittal revision; Bobby Howell is listed as the project manager but Amir Hamza covered the item at the meeting. Luke Class of Appian Engineering represented the applicant.

Class described the primary change as the home builder’s decision to separate rear-loaded garages from the units so that garages are now detached with a courtyard between unit and garage. He said the addition of the detached garages is the majority of the change. The submittal also included removal of storm pipes in one amenity tract, stub-outs for townhomes, grading changes for townhomes, and the addition of a fire hydrant. Class said the applicant also proposed a dog park in one of the open-space tracks.

Fire staff said they require GPS coordinates for the hydrants once vertical construction is underway; the applicant said GPS coordinates had been sent to the contractor but that the contractor had not yet provided them to fire. The fire representative requested that the applicant provide the hydrant GPS coordinates so the department can record them. Building and engineering staff reported no outstanding comments at the meeting. Planning and community development staff had no additional comments.

No formal motions or votes were taken on the CSP revision at the meeting. The discussion focused on clarifying technical details—hydrant locations and GPS coordinates, grading, and the layout of detached garages—and ensuring required documentation is submitted as buildings progress vertically.
