Middleton council approves final plat for Black Powder Subdivision Phase 1
Summary
On June 18 the Middleton City Council approved the final plat for Phase 1 of the Black Powder Subdivision, a roughly 20-acre portion of a planned 40-acre development that will create 49 residential lots and 13 common lots; the city engineer said irrigation will tie into the existing West Highlands system and sewer capacity is available.
The Middleton City Council on June 18 approved the final plat for Phase 1 of the Black Powder Subdivision, a roughly 20-acre portion of a planned 40-acre development that will create 49 residential lots and 13 common lots, City Engineer Amy Woodruff said.
Council members were told the project fronts on Cemetery Road, aligns with existing streets to the east and is zoned R-3. Woodruff said irrigation for the Phase 1 lots will be served by the existing West Highlands irrigation system and that all required fees have been paid for the portion before the council.
Woodruff, principal engineer with Civil Dynamics PC serving as Middleton’s city engineer, said Phase 1 takes access from Cemetery Road and ties to Hidden Estates Street on the adjoining property. She said the project shares boundaries with several West Highlands phases and that future phases will extend Meadow Park Boulevard and connect to West Highlands 20. She described Block 5 in Phase 1 as an improved common area with a gazebo and pathways; no public parking has been developed for that open space.
During council questions a member asked whether the developer is Toll Brothers; Woodruff referred to the developer as Toll and said the project is not subject to the West Highlands Ranch development agreement. She also confirmed sewer capacity had been accounted for when the project received entitlement. After the presentation a council member moved to approve the final plat; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The approval clears Phase 1 to proceed under the city’s subdivision standards. Phase 2 and subsequent phases were discussed in general terms but were not before the council for approval at this meeting.
Ending: Council approval authorizes recordation of the final plat for Black Powder Phase 1; additional engineering and permitting steps remain before building permits are issued.
