Planning commission approves Creekwood Preserve site plan with conditions addressing lift station, truck timing and construction hours
Summary
Beavercreek officials approved a 53-unit single-family development (Creekwood Preserve) on about 25.2 acres, adding 30 conditions and amendments requiring lift-station removal and Bayview access before residential construction and limits on heavy-truck movements to protect Graham Drive residents.
The Beavercreek Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve the specific site plan for Creekwood Preserve, a 53-home single-family development on roughly 25.195 acres presented by Miranda Homes. Staff said the proposal stays under the rezoning cap (2.25 du/acre) at about 2.1 dwelling units per acre and includes three stormwater ponds, a required 50-foot buffer where abutting R1A, and minimum house sizes.
Developer Brian Hosel told commissioners the product mix would be ranch and two-story homes, that the builder is not seeking TIF or tax abatement, and that infrastructure work would include connecting to gravity sewer to eliminate an existing lift station. Staff and the developer said Greene County sanitary authorities would oversee sewer changes and reutilize some lift-station parts.
A large number of neighbors spoke at the public hearing, citing traffic, construction impacts on Graham Drive, school crowding, and property-value concerns. Residents urged an independent traffic study and raised questions about construction routing and timing. The developer and the traffic consultant (Choice 1 Engineering) said the model estimated about 643 vehicles per day for full buildout and that roughly 90% of trips would use Graham Drive; the developer and staff also noted that realistic construction and buildout are likely to span multiple years (applicant estimated primary construction 2027–2029).
To address resident concerns, commissioners added conditions before voting: restrictions on heavy and tandem vehicle access during school-commute windows, clarified construction-hour limits, and a new condition requiring removal of the Bayview lift station and opening Bayview as a secondary entrance prior to any residential construction. The motion to approve the specific site plan with 30 conditions as amended carried 5-0; the item advances to City Council for final action.
The commission also required final engineered drawings (stormwater/erosion control) and a landscaping plan showing evergreen buffering to address an identified "bald spot" along Bayview Drive. Staff confirmed park-fee payments (in-lieu of dedication) and collection of traffic impact fees to fund any warranted roadway improvements.
