Commission hears acceptance of Lake Ruby Drive West improvements, Willowbrook Phase 2 bond release and a first reading rezoning request
Loading...
Summary
Staff recommended acceptance of developer-constructed roadway, pedestrian and utility improvements on West Lake Ruby Drive West (Resolution R26-12); planning staff presented release of a Willowbrook Phase 2 performance bond and acceptance of utilities; staff also presented a rezoning request (O26-10) to convert two parcels from C-3 to MX to permit a duplex and legalize an existing nonconforming house.
Planning and public-works staff briefed commissioners on three land‑use and infrastructure items: acceptance of roadway and trail improvements on West Lake Ruby Drive West, release of a subdivision performance bond and acceptance of Willowbrook Phase 2 utilities, and a first‑reading rezoning request.
Staff recommended adoption of Resolution R26-12 to accept approximately 1,300 feet of roadway improvements, a pedestrian trail connection to Kenner Road 653 (across from Chain of Lakes Elementary School) and associated utilities constructed by the developer for the Lake Ruby Drive West corridor. Staff told commissioners the work had been inspected and found complete.
On Willowbrook Phase 2, planning staff presented a request to release the subdivision performance bond and accept Phase 2 improvements; staff said Phase 2 was complete, inspected and that the city will accept water, wastewater and reuse utilities but will not accept internal roads or private drainage, which remain private responsibilities.
Staff also introduced Ordinance O26-10 (first reading), a rezoning request to change two parcels from Commercial Highway (C-3) to Mixed Use (MX). The rezoning would allow a proposed duplex on a vacant lot and would bring an existing single‑family home into compliance as a permitted use. The planning commission recommended approval and staff supported the rezoning.
Commissioners asked about signage and enforcement related to trail use and about how portions of Willowbrook roadways would be treated as public vs. private roads; staff clarified the southern segment is public right of way and internal roads remain private. No formal votes on the items appear in the supplied transcript.
