Parks board reassesses fees for Peachtree Meadows after replat; total assessed $95,951.31
Summary
The Parks and Recreation Board accepted staff’s recalculation of parkland fees tied to a replat in Peachtree Meadows, lowering the previously assessed total by about $1,000. Staff noted an internal inconsistency in lot counts recorded in the packet vs. the motion.
The Rockwall Parks and Recreation Board approved reassessed parkland fees for the Peachtree Meadows subdivision replat, with a total fee assessment of $95,951.31.
Staff reported that Peachtree Meadows is a master‑planned community and that the applicant submitted a replat that reduced the lot count for a phase. Staff said the replat changes the phase lot count from 48 to 47 lots (phase 1), which reduced assessed fees slightly. Staff recommended accepting cash in lieu of land and pro rata equipment fees for the property; staff told the board the fees will be used to provide amenities to future parkland in the Juniper Subdivision area.
At the meeting staff listed the reassessed fees as cash in lieu of land $51,738.12 ($351.96 per lot at 147 lots reported in the motion) and pro rata equipment fees $44,213.19 ($300.77 per lot at 147 lots reported in the motion), for a combined total of $95,951.31. The staff memo earlier in the item described a recalculation based on a 47‑lot count; however, the motion proposed at the meeting referenced 147 lots. The board approved the motion as moved.
A board member asked where the Juniper Subdivision is located; staff said generally in the area around State Highway 205 and John King Road and that Juniper will provide a neighborhood park that serves the district. Board members requested that future memos explicitly cross‑reference prior and future park approvals to aid review; staff said the new memo format will include background to improve continuity between meetings.
