Board approves preliminary plat for Cedar Crossing subdivision, sets conditions on rezoning and infrastructure
Summary
The Board approved the preliminary plat for Cedar Crossing (219 lots: 195 single-family, 24 duplex) and discussed rezoning of about 7 acres; staff imposed conditions on sidewalks, trails, screening and parkland that will be included in the development agreement.
The Harrisonville Board of Aldermen approved a resolution accepting the preliminary plat for Cedar Crossing, a proposed subdivision that would create 219 lots, including 195 single-family lots and 24 duplex units.
Christine Stanton, director of community development, summarized the plan and said Planning & Zoning recommended approval 5–0. Staff recommended conditions including sidewalks on both sides of streets with ADA-compliant intersections, trails connecting open spaces and the Hyde Park properties, required sewer and water main separations, provision of required easements, and delivery of a final plat before issuance of development permits. Stanton said the developer and staff discussed options for cash-in-lieu payments for parkland and that the city has considered exchanging developed parkland and including maintenance responsibilities in a development agreement.
Developer representative Matt Slish (Eduring Solutions) said the utilities for sanitary and storm will be city utilities and that the water will be through Water District 4; he indicated secondary utilities (telephone, internet, gas) would be provided by private carriers and that most utility installations would be underground. The board conducted a roll-call vote and approved Resolution 2024-26 to accept the preliminary plat.
Separate but related items on the agenda included rezoning approximately 7 acres from RP-1 to RP-2 and a preliminary development plan to accommodate 24 duplex units; staff recommended approval with conditions similar to those for the plat. The rezoning discussion covered dimensional standards, buffering, landscaping, and obligations for sidewalks and trail connections. Those items are scheduled for final readings and inclusion in a development agreement.
What happens next: The board will consider final readings and the development agreement; the final plat must be submitted and approved before development permits are issued.
