Summary
The board approved the final plat for Old River Farm Phase 2, creating 38 residential lots and two common open spaces; covenants require 2,000 sq. ft. minimum houses and a six-foot cedar fence at lot rears before final inspections.
The Board of Aldermen approved a final plat for Old River Farm Subdivision Phase 2, a 12.69-acre development that will be divided into 38 residential lots and two common open spaces.
City planning staff described the item as a ministerial final plat that does not change zoning. “This is a final plat. There is no zoning issue involved,” a planning staff member, Mr. Song, said while presenting the staff report. He said streets and utilities have been constructed in the area and that the final plat conforms to the preliminary plat approved in October 2022.
The recorded covenants require a minimum finished heated area of 2,000 square feet for homes in the development. The planning commission recommended approval on Feb. 11, conditioned on builders constructing a six-foot cedar fence at the rear of each lot before a house on that lot may receive final inspection, a requirement that the staff report said remains part of the project’s development plan.
The board voted to approve the final plat as presented. The plat includes a new street name, Stacy Cove, which city staff and 911/GIS reviewed and recommended because it does not duplicate existing street names.
Planning staff noted the common open spaces will be owned and maintained by the homeowners association and that the phase’s design includes front-loaded garages and decorative garage doors as required by prior approvals.
