Planning commission approves PulteGroup changes to SageRun commitments, deletes outdated Exhibit A
Summary
The Greenwood Advisory Planning Commission voted 9-0 to approve modifications to recorded commitments for the SageRun subdivision, removing an outdated Exhibit A and tying building-design standards to the current Greenwood Unified Development Ordinance.
The Greenwood Advisory Planning Commission on Sept. 22 approved modifications to recorded development commitments for the SageRun subdivision on the west side of Holmes Road, voting 9-0 to adopt the changes and authorize the commission president to deliver a memorandum to the common council.
Petitioner PulteGroup, represented at the hearing by attorney Eric Crime of Blue Naval Law Firm, asked the commission to delete a recorded “Exhibit A” that incorporated pieces of an older zoning and subdivision ordinance and to instead reference the currently effective Greenwood Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Crime said the change is intended to clean up the title record after an earlier developer did not complete the original project and PulteGroup took over development.
Commission staff recommended approval. Planning staff said the modification will be recorded as a “modification of commitment” instrument that cross-references the original commitments, clarifies that the successor owner has the authority to sign, and supersedes outdated provisions.
The commission acted on two separate recorded commitments tied to the SageRun rezoning (Common Council Ordinance 19-13). The first motion amended commitment 2.4 to add a parenthetical reference to UDO section 10-02-14 clarifying residential median lot zone district development standards; the second motion revised commitment 2.6 to delete Exhibit A in its entirety and require that “all buildings will be built in compliance with City Greenwood Unified Development Ordinance section 10-03-14, building design standards, in effect on the recording date of the commitment modification instrument.” Both motions passed 9-0.
Crime told the commission the changes do not alter the substantive development standards PulteGroup intends to follow but rather update recorded documents so the chain of commitments is clear. “We will delete Exhibit A… and incorporate the current site plan,” Crime said during his presentation.
Staff clarified that the modification document will identify PulteGroup as the successor in interest to earlier owners and will record the specific changes so prior instruments are superseded on the chain of title. The parcel involved was described in the staff report as roughly 31.54 acres located on the west side of Holmes Road, about 3,000 feet south of County Line Road; the applicant said the current site plan is already under development.
The commission’s motions also directed the commission president to execute and deliver a memorandum regarding the commitment modification to the common council in connection with Common Council Ordinance 19-13. No remonstrators appeared at the public hearing.
The action cleans up legacy recorded commitments from a prior developer (identified in the staff presentation as Harbor Homes) and updates references to Greenwood’s current UDO and the project’s site plan. Recording of the modification document and any subsequent administrative steps with the common council were described as the next steps.
