Commission recommends approval of Kildeer Meadows subdivision contingent on annexation
Summary
The commission voted to approve Kildeer Meadows (SUBD‑24‑8), an infill subdivision proposing 18 single‑family lots on about 4.89 acres, conditioned on annexation and standard permit conditions; water service will be provided by Ross Point Water District once water rights transfer is completed.
The Post Falls Planning & Zoning Commission on Dec. 10 approved the Kildeer Meadows subdivision (SUBD‑24‑8) by motion, conditioning the subdivision approval on successful annexation of the property into the city and on the nine staff conditions included in the staff report.
Anna Stahl, a city planner, presented the staff report and said the proposal subdivides about 4.89 acres into 18 single‑family lots under the R‑1 standard the applicant requested. Stahl noted the site is in a county pocket and that the subdivision approval is conditioned on annexation into the city with R‑1 zoning. She told commissioners water would be provided by Ross Point Water District and sewer by the City of Post Falls; a will‑serve letter from Ross Point appears in the staff report.
Drew Dittman of Lake City Engineering, speaking for the applicant Northern Lights Development, said the annexation agreement and development agreement had been signed and were proceeding to city council. He described the project as a straightforward infill subdivision that aligns lot sizes, lot widths (minimum 60 feet) and roadway connections to existing nearby streets. Dittman said he had briefed Ross Point and that the annexation agreement requires dedication or transfer of any water rights to a municipal water system, and that the applicant had addressed Ross Point’s review.
The commission discussed connectivity and emergency access. Planning staff and the applicant said that street lengths and turnarounds meet fire department standards (a turnaround is required only when streets exceed 150 feet). The applicant indicated the fire department had reviewed and approved the layout subject to standard permitting review.
Commissioners moved and seconded approval with the condition that the subdivision be contingent on annexation by the city council. The recorded motion instructs staff to prepare a written, reasoned decision and attaches the nine conditions enumerated in the staff report.
Ending: Kildeer Meadows will proceed to final engineering, permitting and construction only after annexation is finalized and required water‑rights transfers and infrastructure agreements are completed.
