Planning commission approves DHI replat moving pond boundaries in Woods at Lindsey Place
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a replat shifting lot lines among DHI lots and an HOA lot to consolidate a pond and adjust floodplain-related boundaries; one nearby resident voiced concern about potential increased pond access and trash.
The City of Anna Planning and Zoning Commission on June 2 approved a replat requested by DHI and associated properties that shifts lot lines in The Woods at Lindsey Place and creates a new lot line around an existing pond.
Lauren (staff) explained that the replat changes property lines and is not a zoning case. Blake Beeson of Spires Engineering told the commission the work is intended to account for floodplain boundaries and that “the 2 ponds noted do contain a hundred year floodplain, and there's an active letter of map revision open with you.” The applicant said there are no engineering design changes proposed; the request simply adjusts lot lines.
One nearby resident, Melanie Halton of 1909 Hampton Street, said she and neighbors were upset that the larger development had been zoned for apartments in 2020 and that they had been told by a prior developer there would not be apartments. Halton said she worries replatting “is going to start butting up to our pond” and described trash, fishing in the HOA pond, and traffic concerns. She asked whether the replat would push more apartment residents up against the pond and whether HOA fees would be used for upkeep.
Commissioners discussed that the pond already exists and that the replat does not expand it. A motion to approve the replat was made by Commissioner Herman, seconded by Commissioner Martin, and carried unanimously (5–0).
The commission recorded the replat as a public hearing item because part of the property is zoned single-family and therefore required the hearing. Staff emphasized the distinction between a replat (property-line change) and zoning decisions (land use). No engineering changes were proposed with this approval, and the applicant said the ponds are already constructed and that the replat simply moves lot lines to reflect on-the-ground conditions.
