Council approves development agreement to advance Stone Ridge Phase 2 subdivision

The Navasota City Council voted April 13 to approve a development agreement between Continental Homes of Texas LP and the city that defines public improvements, utility capacity-reservation fees and TxDOT-required phasing for Stone Ridge Phase 2, a proposed 220-lot residential subdivision in Navasota, Grimes County.

Staff described the agreement as the final step needed to move the developer's phase forward and said the terms align with prior planned-unit-development approvals. The item addresses timing for TxDOT-required roadway improvements, the phasing of water and sewer capacity reservations, and other elements typical to subdivision development agreements; the transcript did not include a dollar figure for capacity fees or an implementation schedule.

Councilmember Mr. Hope moved to approve the agreement and Councilmember Mr. Gessner seconded; the motion carried on a voice vote. The council recorded no roll-call tally in the transcript. Staff said the agreement does not alter prior planned-unit-development provisions but consolidates outstanding steps needed to enable construction to proceed.

Next steps include final administrative checks and execution of the agreement with the developer; staff did not provide estimated construction start dates during the meeting.
