BR Horton reports minor townhome shift; staff to process plat amendment ahead of January planning commission

Summary
Builders for a BR Horton townhome phase reported a building was staked four feet off its recorded location, creating a porch outside the plat footprint and reducing separation between buildings from 24 to 20 feet. Staff said separation still meets fire requirements and recommended a minor plat amendment for the Jan. 14 planning commission.
BR Horton—s team told project-management staff that one phase-one townhome building was staked roughly four feet from its intended location, leaving a porch outside the recorded footprint.
City staff and fire officials said the reduced separation — from 24 feet to 20 feet between buildings — does not create a fire-separation concern. The group agreed this is a minor plat amendment. Staff advised the developer to submit an amended plat and indicated the change could be on the January 14 planning commission agenda; administrative signatures could be collected afterward to finalize the record.
Why it matters: Accurate plats are needed for record title, sales and building permits. The developer and staff agreed the mistake is not safety critical but should be corrected so property records match as-built conditions.
Next steps: BR Horton will prepare a limited plat amendment for Building 60 and submit it for planning-commission notice; staff offered to streamline review and gather required signatures if planning commission approves.
