Summary
City planning staff and the developer presented the final plat for Riverview Estates Section 3 — a roughly 52‑acre development with 68 E‑3 residential lots; council approved the final plat and improvement plans subject to standard conditions, including required easements and fee‑in‑lieu of parkland.
Planning staff and the applicant (Builders Collective LLC, with engineers Blue & Associates) presented Riverview Estates Section 3's final plat and improvement plan for council approval.
Staff said the property is already zoned E‑3 (residential estates), the preliminary plat had been approved previously, and the final application covers about 52 acres with 68 residential lots. Utilities and drainage were reviewed: the plan relies on existing 8‑inch main extensions, 6‑inch water lines on cul‑de‑sacs, individual private septic systems for lots and design measures to avoid new detention due to proximity to the Canadian River floodplain. The applicant will pay a fee‑in‑lieu of parkland dedication ($400 per lot, about $27,200) rather than dedicate parkland.
Tori Finnegan with Bloom Associates said hydraulic analysis and water‑pressure work were completed and that the design includes pressure‑relief valves at meters if pressures exceed acceptable levels. Council questioned impacts on existing neighborhood water pressure and long‑term infrastructure needs; staff said the city will continue to rely on temporary pumping and will plan for a future larger feed line to the northwest sector and a tower altitude‑valve replacement to improve pressure.
After discussion and public comment, a council member moved to approve the final plat and improvement plans for Riverview Estates Section 3; the motion was seconded and carried by roll call.
