Altoona City Council approves preliminary plat for Magnolia Plat 1
Summary
The Altoona City Council unanimously approved a preliminary plat for Magnolia Plat 1 on Feb. 3, 2025, clearing a layout for 27 single-family lots and a 16.09-acre city park; approval was made "subject to deficiencies" and includes sidewalk provisions addressed in the engineering agreement.
The Altoona City Council on Feb. 3 unanimously approved a preliminary plat for Magnolia Plat 1, a proposed subdivision that lays out 27 single-family lots and a city park on 16.09 acres across 1st Avenue South from the Stonebridge development.
The proposal was presented by Dean Roghair of Civil Design Advantage, who described the subdivision layout and park area. During the presentation an online commenter, Vern Willey, asked whether sidewalks would be included. Engineer John Dostart responded that sidewalks are addressed in the agreement between the developer and the city.
Councilmember Boka moved to approve the preliminary plat "subject to deficiencies." The motion passed on a roll-call vote recorded as 5-0 with Councilmembers Boka, Duer, Dunwoody, Evans and Stewart voting in favor.
The approval allows the developer to proceed to the next platting steps subject to the listed deficiencies and conditions in the staff report, including the sidewalk provisions noted by the engineer. The council did not amend the proposal on the floor; staff will return with any required corrections or final documents.
The council’s action advances a residential subdivision that, if built as proposed, would add 27 single-family lots and a park to the Altoona housing supply. The council moved on to other agenda business following the vote.
