Council hears presentation on Pinecroft Phase 2 final plat; timing and lot sizes discussed

The Princeton Board of Commissioners heard a presentation and discussion on the Pinecroft final plat for Phase 2 (lots 19 through 45) during the June 16 meeting. Staff said Phase 1 has been approved and is expected to be recorded by the end of the month, and that Phase 2 recording could follow within 18 to 24 months when the developer is ready to proceed.

Staff described Phase 2 as carrying the same R-3 (planned unit/HUD-style) zoning as Phase 1, with minimum lot sizes in the range cited in the plat materials (the presenter read minimum lot sizes as 7,150 square feet and maximum lot sizes as 9,967 square feet). The staff presentation said planned house sizes under the current plans range from roughly 1,100 to 1,800 square feet, although some homes could be smaller or larger depending on market conditions. Staff also noted that restrictions for the subdivision had not yet been filed with the town.

At the meeting the applicant's representative and staff discussed timing for recording Phase 1 and anticipated infrastructure work; staff said pipe work and site work could begin within three to six months. One commissioner recused themself from the Pinecroft item because of a declared interest. The mayor answered commission questions about lot and house sizes and confirmed the zoning and setback standards described in the staff presentation.

A motion to approve the Pinecroft Phase 2 final plat was made from the dais. The transcript includes the motion being called but does not record a clear roll-call tally or the formal outcome of the motion in the provided excerpt.

Why it matters: The Pinecroft project is a multi-phase residential development that will add new housing supply in Princeton; final-plat approval is a key step before lots are recorded and construction proceeds.
