The Rockwall Park Board approved the site plan and final plat for Phase 3 of the Saddle Star South subdivision and assessed $64,406.94 in parkland and equipment fees.
At the meeting, a board member moved to approve the April 7 minutes; another member seconded and the board registered a 4-0 vote to adopt the minutes. Later, staff presented the Phase 3 site plan — a 14.995-acre tract proposed to be divided into 26 single-family lots — and recommended approval of the submitted trail and sidewalk layout, noting homeowners association maintenance for many amenities.
A committee member moved to accept the site plan as revised to include local trails and open-space areas; the motion was seconded and the board approved the measure.

The board voted to approve the final plat and assess the fees as presented.
Staff noted the property lies in Park District 6, which includes Stone Creek, and recommended that the assessed fees be used to develop parks or install amenities within that district. No formal amendments or conditions were added to the motions recorded in the meeting transcript.
