Commission forwards The Grove at Coffee Creek preliminary plat to council amid neighborhood objections
Loading...
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended City Council approval of The Grove at Coffee Creek preliminary plat (15 lots) after residents said the proposed plat diverged from an earlier PUD and raised concerns about gating, drainage and trail access; the commission voted 3–0 to forward the item.
The Edmond Planning Commission voted 3–0 to forward the preliminary plat for The Grove at Coffee Creek, a proposed 15-lot single-family subdivision on roughly 16.7 acres, to the City Council with staff notes for final engineering and platting.
Developer Greg Massey and Red Plains Professionals told the commission the plat meets the existing PUD and city code, includes a 35-foot buffer and preserves required tree canopy and common-area percentages. Massey said utilities are in place and stormwater detention modifications will be designed to avoid impacts to preserved areas.
Multiple residents and HOA representatives said the current plat departs from a prior PUD they recall as showing nine homes, a walking trail and different setbacks. Coffee Creek residents asked for more outreach, worried a gated design could restrict HOA access to small parcels they maintain, and asked for clearer assurances about tree preservation, trail continuity and construction access. One resident requested contact information and asked the developer to meet again with adjacent homeowners; the applicant offered his phone number and noted he would make himself available.
The applicant said the walking trail will tie into the existing trail and remain open to public access and that the proposal meets minimum lot sizes and tree-preservation rules. The engineer said city code does not require a traffic-impact analysis for 15 single-family lots and estimated the project would generate fewer than 45 trips per day.
Commissioners recommended forwarding the preliminary plat and noted outstanding details — including final trail alignment, tree-preservation mapping and any gates — will be resolved at final plat and engineering review. The item will go to City Council April 27.
