Council reviews multiple planned-unit developments and subdivision plats for new housing
Summary
Council reviewed multiple residential planned-unit developments, including a preliminary PUD for the Ridge subdivision at 3920 Country Club Drive and a final PUD/plat for Wildwood Estates Section 1 that would add duplex-style housing and private infrastructure.
Council members considered several residential planned-unit developments and subdivision plats during the meeting, including a preliminary PUD for the Ridge subdivision at 3920 Country Club Drive and a final PUD/plat for Wildwood Estates Section 1.
Planning staff summarized the Ridge application as a preliminary PUD plan and subdivision plat proposing six attached single-family buildings (12 units) plus one additional single-family lot; the development would take access to Country Club Drive where a new street is shown and requested deviations for a five-foot reduction in front-yard setbacks to reduce grading costs and a waiver of sidewalk construction on the new cul-de-sac because Country Club Drive lacks a continuous sidewalk.
The Wildwood Estates Section 1 final PUD and plat would create two large lots that together will contain twelve two-unit buildings (24 units) in an initial phase on about 10 acres, with a private gated entrance, a gatehouse and private infrastructure maintained by a homeowners association (HOA). Staff said lots are being presented as reserve lots that may be subdivided into individual ownership later; the developer intends to build buildings to city standards and provide for private street maintenance and snow removal via the HOA.
Project engineers and applicants answered council questions during public hearings. The Ridge project team said stormwater detention/retention and street construction would meet city standards and that the applicant had been in contact with MoDOT about access to Country Club Drive. Wildwood proponents confirmed the private streets would be built to city specifications and include turnaround requirements for emergency vehicles; the HOA would be responsible for maintenance and snow removal.
Both applications were presented for review at public hearings; the Ridge preliminary plan will return on a future agenda for a formal vote and is not being decided at this meeting, while Wildwood’s final plan was presented to council as a final-planning submission and will appear on the next council agenda for formal action.
