The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve the final plat for Briarly (formerly Redbird Meadows) priority Phase 1B, covering Sections 4, 5 and 6 along Walnut Cemetery Road. Staff (Speaker 1) told the commission the development includes approved variances: reduced lot width to 60 feet (from 75), reduced lot area to 8,400 square feet (from 9,000), and side‑yard setbacks reduced from 10 feet to 5 feet. The development agreement requires that 20% of the final buildout meet a minimum side‑yard separation of 15 feet.

"This subdivision has a few approved variances...reduced lot width of 60 feet from your typical 75 feet, reduced lot area of 8,400 square feet...and then side yard setbacks from your typical 10 feet to 5 feet," Speaker 1 said. Staff also noted the developer will be required to pay all fees associated with final plat recordation, including impact‑fee deposits; staff estimated impact fees for Sections 4–6 to be in the realm of $400,000 and said it would confirm the precise amount after the meeting.

Commissioners asked whether the plan had changed since the preliminary plat; staff said the detention pond and related work remain in Section 2 and that construction for earlier sections is ongoing with sewer and water approved for Sections 1–3. Staff reported construction was nearing completion for some areas and that punch‑list inspections could occur before the new year, depending on contractor availability.

A motion to approve the final plat was made and seconded; the commission voted in favor and the motion passed by voice vote. Staff said the next step is city council consideration and, upon approval there, the developer must pay required fees and complete county recordation for the final plat.
