Council approves final plat for Richland Court: eight single‑family lots east of Town Line Road
Summary
The council approved the final plat for Richland Court, an 8‑lot single‑family subdivision east of Town Line Road and County Highway 78; county review reduced off‑site access requirements to a right‑turn lane on County Road 79 rather than a hard‑island configuration.
The Shakopee City Council approved a final plat June 3 for Richland Court, a proposed subdivision on County Highway 78 east of Town Line Road that will create eight single‑family lots on approximately 4.38 acres.
Planning staff told the council the net developable acreage is smaller due to preserved wetlands and a detention basin; staff said the plat complies with R‑1B zoning and the 2040 comprehensive plan. The county reviewed access requirements and, following council concerns, limited off‑site improvements to a right‑turn lane on County Road 79 rather than a harder island and right‑in/right‑out configuration previously discussed.
Nut graf: The applicant’s revised access plan reduced required county road improvements after feedback; the council adopted resolution R2025‑067 to approve the final plat with conditions to ensure compliance with staff design and performance standards.
Staff showed the plat map and noted utilities are in place to serve the site. Councilor Contreras moved to approve resolution R2025‑067 approving the final plat; Councilor Delaney seconded and the motion passed by voice vote.
Record conditions require the developer to meet the city’s standard conditions for sanitary and water connections and to preserve the designated wetland and stormwater basin areas shown on the plat. The council did not add further conditions during the vote.
