Rosewater Place subdivision approved for 25 single‑family lots in R‑2 zone
Summary
The commission approved Rosewater Place (SUBD‑25‑10), a 4.5‑acre subdivision into 25 single‑family lots; staff and applicant confirmed utilities and connectivity to the adjacent Painted Rock subdivision and conditions in the staff report will apply.
The Post Falls Planning & Zoning Commission approved the Rosewater Place Subdivision (file SUBD‑25‑10), a proposal to divide about 4.5 acres into 25 single‑family lots in the R‑2 zone.
Associate planner Justin Souder presented the Rosewater proposal and said the site would be served by East Green Acres for water and by the City of Post Falls for sewer, with flows to the Montrose Lehi station. Midway Avenue will be dedicated to city minor‑collector standards and direct access from Midway Avenue to lots is prohibited; internal connections will tie into the adjacent Painted Rock subdivision.
Applicant Austin Fuller described the plan, said fire protection will be provided by Kootenai County Fire Department and that the layout anticipates future connections to the west via Dawson Court. "This proposed subdivision meets all the requirements of the R 2 zone," Fuller said and asked for approval.
Staff and commissioners discussed internal connectivity, stub streets for future development and why an HOA maintenance requirement was not included (lots do not front the collector). A motion to approve the subdivision as meeting code criteria and subject to conditions 1–8 in the staff report was moved, seconded and passed by roll call.
The approval is conditioned on standard infrastructure and permitting requirements including impact fees to cover parks, streets and public safety mitigation; staff noted minimal common area in this layout and no HOA maintenance condition was required.
