Planning commission recommendation approved for Longstone 2 preliminary plat; resident asks for buffer
Summary
The board approved the Longstone 2 preliminary plat (35 single‑family lots on 11 acres; LDR zoning) after a staff report and Planning Commission recommendation. A neighboring resident requested a fence or buffer along a proposed road (Lambros Drive) that will be adjacent to his backyard; staff and the applicant agreed to follow up.
Amanda Ross (planning staff) presented the Longstone 2 preliminary plat: 35 single‑family lots on roughly 11 acres, zoned Low Density Residential (LDR), with existing water and sewer available on site. The Parks Board conducted a site visit and recommended no public open space dedication because the site lacks connectivity to nearby trails; the applicant proposes 3.16 acres of private open space and playgrounds within the subdivision.
The Planning Commission had unanimously recommended approval at its October 7 meeting; staff recommended approval to the Board of Aldermen. During the public hearing, resident Kai Shields asked the developer to consider constructing a fence along the north and east property lines to buffer the new street (Lambros Drive) from his backyard for safety and privacy; staff provided the resident contact information for the developer and indicated staff would monitor follow‑up discussions. The board adopted the resolution approving the preliminary plat (vote 6–0).
Planning staff noted final plat submittal and any required construction plans and easements will proceed before any lot sales or building permits can be issued.
