Council committee approves final plat for Pausch Farms subdivision

The Community Development Committee recommended approval of an ordinance approving the final plat for Pausch Farms, a three-lot subdivision on property annexed into the city in March. Greg Anderson, director of community development, said the applicant is HNL Builders (Jeff and Bruce Holland) and the property, generally at 1314 Pausch Road, was annexed March 17, 2025. The final plat shows three lots — Lot 1 at 6.2 acres, Lot 2 at 11.9 acres and Lot 3 at 3.24 acres — with drainage, utility and pond easements and an access easement on the west side to serve all three lots. "The property was annexed into the city on 03/17/2025," Anderson said. Staff recommended approval with conditions limiting the number of homes to three single-family dwellings (one per lot) and requiring payment of annexation fees and parkland dedication fees at building-permit application, as set out in the pre-annexation agreement. A procedural motion and committee roll call (Roach, Rosenberg, Parchment, Mylar, Campbell, Chair Lotz) approved the final plat; committee votes are advisory and will move to the full city council for final action. The committee packet included that the final plat had been reviewed by the community development department, public works and the city's outside reviewer, Horner and Schifrin, and staff reported the plat complies with the city's subdivision ordinance.
