City planning staff presented the final plat for Cedar Crossing (Lots 1–53 and Tract A) and recommended approval contingent on meeting 13 conditions that address fire protection, street lights, trail connections and fees-in-lieu for stormwater detention.
Christina Stanton, AICP, summarized prior approvals and the development agreement recorded March 20, 2025. The proposed final plat covers a portion of a larger preliminary plan. Key staff recommendations include correcting building lines for specific lots, providing signature blocks for city engineers/directors, submittal of covenants for the homeowners association, fire-flow testing per the International Fire Code (IFC 2018, Appendix B), showing hydrant locations and spacing per IFC Appendix C, providing required access and loading per IFC Appendix D, and a developer payment of $1,500 per street light with conduit installed by the developer and wiring installed by Public Works.
Staff also reiterated preliminary-plat requirements to provide trails connecting proposed and existing open space areas and asked for a plat note describing the location/size of proposed parks and trails. Fees-in-lieu for stormwater detention were calculated at $2,300 per residential development acre and, for the proposed 53 lots (51.63 acres referenced), equate to $118,007.49 due after final-plat approval and before issuance of building permits.
Planning and Zoning recommended approval 6–0. Christina said the final plat will return to the board for reading and vote at the June 2 meeting.
The board did not take a final vote at this meeting; staff and the planning commission recommended approval subject to the listed technical conditions.
