Planning commission approves revised Wild Rose Ranch preliminary plat, adding seven lots

The Edmond Planning Commission voted to approve a revised preliminary plat for Wild Rose Ranch (PR2000027), a residential subdivision northwest of Sorgan Mill and Bryant, adding seven lots and bringing the total subdivision count to 196 lots.

Gavin Masters, representing the applicant, told the commission the change was prompted by updated sanitary‑sewer capacity and a revision to the city’s minimum lot size for septic-served lots. Masters said the original plat allowed 189 lots; updated information from the city on sewer capacity and a change in the minimum lot square footage for septic from 30,000 to 21,780 square feet (0.5 acre) supported additional lots. “We got new information that the city can allow us to add 9 additional lots,” Masters said; the submitted revision adds seven lots in the southwest portion of Section 2 to reach 196 lots.

Staff recommended approval, saying the additional lots conform to the existing single‑family zoning and are supported by updated sanitary sewer capacity. The commission motioned and approved the revised preliminary plat; the chair stated the matter will not go to city council.

Next steps and conditions

Because the added lots conform to the existing zoning, the revision moves forward as a preliminary‑plat approval; final platting, construction plans and development permitting remain required before any lot development occurs. The applicant indicated construction had already begun in Section 1 and that the revision applies to Section 2.
