Planning commission approves two final plats, votes and details at a glance
Summary
On Oct. 6 the Temple Planning and Zoning Commission approved final plats for Wildflower Trails Phase 1 (41.857 acres, 138 lots) and Ekenkoff Addition (0.251 acre, 4 lots) after staff presentations; both items included conditions and recorded votes.
The City of Temple Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 6 approved two subdivision final plats: Wildflower Trails Phase 1, a 41.857‑acre residential subdivision with 138 lots, and the Ekenkoff Addition, a 0.251‑acre replat creating four single‑family attached lots at 709 and 711 South 20th Street.
Wildflower Trails Phase 1 Jason Detman presented the Wildflower Trails Phase 1 final plat, describing a 41.857‑acre project with 137 residential lots and one nonresidential lot located near Pepper Creek and adjacent to a golf course. The phase includes two collectors (Terra Drive north–south and Moons of Jupiter Trail east–west), trails through designated floodplain open space and a mix of sidewalks to be built by the developer and by individual builders as lots are developed. Staff said the plat largely matches the preliminary plat and complies with PD and UDC standards; the phase will provide trail connections intended to link southward to the Pepper Creek trail network.
The commission approved the Wildflower Trails Phase 1 final plat (FY25‑36‑PLT) by a recorded vote of seven ayes and one nay (Chair Greg Rhodes cast the lone no vote and said he owns property in the area). The record notes the plat is consistent with the prior PD and that additional phases will provide the emergency gate and further collector connections.
Ekenkoff Addition (709–711 S. 20th Street) Planner Dan Shao Chi presented the Ekenkoff Addition final plat (FY25‑41‑PLT), a replat of two existing lots into four lots for single‑family attached homes. Each proposed lot is roughly 26 by 104 feet and meets dimensional requirements for single‑family attached units. Staff reported no floodplain issues, adequate water and sewer capacity (6‑inch lines), and recommended approval. The developer agreed to pay park fees at $2.25 per dwelling unit.
The commission approved the Ekenkoff Addition final plat by a recorded vote of six ayes and two nays.
