Council approves rezoning and plats for Prairie Acres and Eastbrook phases
Loading...
Summary
The council unanimously approved rezoning and final plat for Prairie Acres Lot 1 (Bill 4025 and 4026) and approved the first reading of the East Brook at Creekmore fifth final plat (Bill 4032), clearing a combined 53 new single‑family lots and infrastructure requirements.
The Raymore City Council approved multiple land‑use items April 13, including rezoning and plat approvals that will add new single‑family lots in two areas of the city.
Bill 4025: Rezoning/Prairie Acres — Staff explained a rezoning request by property owner Kent Stark for a parcel at 707 North Prairie Lane. The owner seeks to rezone a 4.5‑acre portion of an approximately 60‑acre tract from Agricultural to RE (Rural Estate) to permit the smaller lot configuration; the remaining acreage will remain unplatted and agricultural. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval 6–0; the council approved the second reading of Bill 4025 unanimously.
Bill 4026: Prairie Acres final plat — Following the rezoning, the council approved Bill 4026, the final plat for Prairie Acres Lot 1. Certificates of occupancy were referenced for other veteran‑focused Grant Park Villas projects in the staff report.
Bill 4032: East Brook at Creekmore (5th) final plat — Staff presented the fifth final plat for Eastbrook (Cooper Land Development). The phase will create 49 single‑family lots (21 gallery‑style lots and the remainder standard R‑1 lots), relocate a cart path to improve crossing safety, and provide required stormwater and common‑area adjustments. Planning and Zoning recommended approval and the council approved the first reading unanimously.
Staff said Creekmore’s master plan and MOU have been amended several times since 2004 to shift certain townhome/two‑family areas into single‑family lots; the current phase reflects those earlier amendments.
Next steps: Staff will finalize plats and recording steps for Prairie Acres Lot 1 and coordinate developer work for Eastbrook’s infrastructure improvements.
