Commission approves preliminary plat for six‑lot Chase Creek subdivision with HOA responsibilities for drainage
Summary
The commission approved a six‑lot preliminary subdivision plat for Chase Creek on 2.13 acres in residential‑low zoning, subject to final plat requirements including landscaping plans, engineered retention wall plans, private drainage easements and an HOA to maintain a retention basin.
The Centerville Planning Commission on June 11 approved the preliminary plat for the Chase Creek subdivision, a six‑lot proposal on 2.13 acres in the residential‑low zone.
Miss Duweese, planning staff, told commissioners the application was submitted Oct. 30, 2024, deemed complete April 22, 2025, and found to comply with the residential development code (CCC 12.32) and preliminary plat standards (15.03). Duweese listed items required before final approval: a landscaping plan for Parcel A, private drainage easements and plat notes that drainage infrastructure be privately owned and maintained, engineered retention wall plans, and an agreement for private ownership of drainage outfall and box on Chase Lane.
Commission members asked whether street parking, fire hydrant placement and snow‑loading needs had been addressed. Duweese said the city’s street supervisor and fire chief required dedicated parking on one side of the cul‑de‑sac and a fire hydrant; the opposing side would be designated for parking and snow storage. Commissioners also discussed whether the city or an HOA would be responsible for snow removal and ongoing basin maintenance. Duweese said the city is seeking to make the street public, while the HOA would be responsible for basin upkeep and keeping a culvert under the street clear; the HOA obligation was included as a condition for final plat approval.
Applicant and property owner Kevin Mortensen has initiated the subdivision process and worked with staff to conform to the updated subdivision code; agent Scott Argyle confirmed the applicant expects to comply with the outstanding DRC comments and final submittals. The commission opened the public hearing; no members of the public spoke.
A motion to approve the preliminary plat included conditions requiring the outstanding engineering and landscaping deliverables before final plat recording and specified that staff review remaining items administratively; commissioners recorded unanimous support.
