Commission hears wide‑ranging debate over Lost Creek subdivision and rezoning timing
Summary
Staff outlined a proposed major subdivision (Lost Creek First Edition) that would create 193 lots and require multiple zoning changes; commissioners and staff focused discussion on infrastructure timing, special assessments, and an MOU with Horace.
The commission heard an extended presentation on Lost Creek First Edition, a major subdivision and rezoning request covering roughly the west half of Section 9 that would create 193 lots (including 191 residential lots) with zoning designations SR4, SR5 and MR3 and public institutional lots for parks and drainage.
Donald Kress of Planning and Development said the property was annexed previously but remained unserved; staff described utilities, a proposed park and a drainage channel lot, and said Veterans Boulevard must be developed in coordination with the city of Horace. Staff framed the matter as a timing and funding question: the city may approve the plat and zoning subject to conditions (engineering review, amenities plan, special assessment and funding allocations tied to the 2027 budget and a Horace MOU), or continue the item to allow more detailed policy discussions on infrastructure costs.
Commissioners asked about road construction, the status of memoranda of understanding with Horace and the extent of required public‑works staffing and budget planning. Staff advised three procedural options and recommended conditions if the commission chooses to proceed. The item remained in discussion and staff indicated options to bring conditioned approval or continuation to a future meeting.
