Board approves preliminary plat for 181‑lot Forefront subdivision with retention basins and collector street connection
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Board approved the preliminary plat for a 181‑lot single‑family subdivision (STE202503). Developers and engineers described retention basins, collector‑street connections and drainage designed to a 100‑year event.
The Planning and Zoning Board voted to approve the preliminary plat for STE202503, a proposed single‑family subdivision west of the Valley Meadows addition.
City staff said the plat covers about 60 acres and proposes 181 single‑family lots, internal roads that will extend Goff Road to Interurban and continue Quail Street to the north. Engineers present explained the plan includes retention basins in the northern and southern portions of the site intended to detain and slowly release stormwater into existing downstream channels.
Jake Boscho of SEH, representing the developer, told the board the drainage design is sized for a 100‑year storm and that house floor elevations are planned at least a couple of feet above that elevation. He said utilities will tie into water and sanitary lines on the east side of Valley Meadows. Forefront representative Jeffrey Speck described the planned housing product as single‑story slab homes and some two‑story homes; single‑story models were described as roughly 1,200–1,400 square feet.
Staff said they received public comments raising drainage and tree‑line preservation concerns; staff forwarded those comments to the development team. The development team said the retention basins and grading adjustments are intended to manage runoff and limit downstream impacts.
After a public hearing with no remonstrations, the board approved the preliminary plat on a voice vote. The approval is subject to standard final plat, engineering and permitting steps before construction.
