Developers present mixed‑use concept for South Brentwood; commissioners flag floodplain and stormwater concerns
Summary
At a work session, a developer presented a preliminary mixed‑use plan for several parcels on South Brentwood Boulevard; commissioners raised concerns about 100‑year floodplain elevations, stream setbacks and a modeled 1.20 CFS differential runoff that will require stormwater detention and civil engineering analysis.
Developer Robert Keany presented a preliminary mixed‑use concept for a series of parcels along South Brentwood Boulevard and asked the commission for initial feedback during a work session.
Commissioners treated the presentation as conceptual and focused on environmental and engineering constraints. One commissioner said the preliminary materials did not clearly show how first‑floor elevations compare to the 100‑year floodplain and warned the concept appeared to “substantially incursion into the flood plane.” Commissioners flagged stream‑setback requirements, possible impacts to neighboring parcels from fill, and a noted differential runoff increase of 1.20 cubic feet per second that will require detention and stormwater management.
Keany and staff acknowledged the concerns and said civil‑engineering modeling and detailed site plans will be required; the developer said he will bring engineering consultants to a future meeting to address elevation and stormwater questions. Commissioners suggested simplifying the site plan, reconsidering retail components, and ensuring unit mix and first‑floor elevations fit local constraints.
Because the item was a work session, no formal action was taken; staff and the developer will return with engineering analysis and more detailed plans for commission review.
