Planning Commission approves Old River Farms Subdivision Phase 2 final plat for 38 lots
Summary
Commission approved the final plat for Phase 2 of Old River Farms: 12.69 acres to be divided into 38 single-family lots and two open-space parcels, aligning with the previously approved preliminary plan and covenants.
The Planning Commission approved the final plat for Phase 2 of Old River Farms Subdivision, allowing the division of about 12.69 acres into 38 single-family residential lots and two common open-space parcels.
Planning staff said Phase 2 aligns with the preliminary plan approved in October 2022 and with covenants and restrictions recorded in July of the prior year. Staff noted infrastructure—water, sewer and street lighting—has been installed and that some street names (Jackson Lane, Mary McCoy Drive) have already been approved; one proposed street name change that had been a condition was removed after 911 addressed naming policy concerns.
Staff described two green-space parcels in steep terrain unsuitable for housing, and said the subdivision will dedicate a public right of way for a connector road shared with the adjacent Highland Lake Subdivision. The earlier project approval (Project X) was cited as initially approved May 17, 2022 and revised in December 2023 to permit front-loading garages on cottage lots, decorative garage doors, and a prohibition on on-street parking; staff said those standards apply to Phase 2.
Commissioner Dion Jones moved to approve the final plat subject to staff recommendations with the removal of the prior condition regarding the street-name change; Commissioner Kimberly Remack seconded. The commission voted unanimously to approve.
Staff recommended recording the plat and ensuring compliance with the recorded covenants and the construction and dedications reflected on the final plat.
