Huber Heights Planning Commission approves five subdivision plats and rezones 58-acre site for 199‑lot development
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the Huber Heights Planning Commission unanimously approved five final plats and a rezoning/basic development plan that will allow a 199‑lot subdivision and several new single‑family phases; a nearby resident raised an objection to a proposed driveway connection.
The Huber Heights Planning Commission on June 9 unanimously approved five final plats and granted a rezoning and basic development plan that clears the way for multiple new single‑family subdivisions and a 199‑lot Planned Mixed Development on Old Troy Pike.
Assistant City Manager Aaron K. Sorrell told the commission the Carriage Trails Section 20 final plat is the second plat for the Carriage Trails II subdivision and "conforms to the approved Detailed Development Plans," with 25‑foot front setbacks and minimum lot widths that meet or exceed the development standards. The commission approved the final plat (FP 26‑12) on a 4‑0 roll call vote after a motion by Commissioner Shomper and a second by Commissioner Thomas.
The commission also approved a rezoning to Planned Mixed Development and a Basic Development Plan for a 58.26‑acre site at 5001 Old Troy Pike submitted by Oakes Tree Development. Staff said the plan covers a 199‑lot subdivision and an existing multi‑tenant commercial building, with approximately 34% (18.19 acres) of the residential area reserved as open space, a gross density limit of five dwelling units per acre, underground utilities and an amenity package that includes pickleball courts. Applicant representative Daniel Earles restated project details during the presentation. Commissioner Thomas moved to approve BDP 26‑13 and Commissioner Vargo seconded; the motion passed 4‑0.
During the Old Troy Pike discussion neighbor Lori Metzger said she had not been contacted by the applicant and "does not agree with the drive over her property," and expressed concern about how she and neighbors were treated during a prior development. The applicant reiterated project information on site design and utilities but no modification to the plan was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The commission approved three additional final plats: Creekstone Bluff Section 1 (39 lots; FP 26‑14), Creekside Woods Phase 1 (50 lots; FP 26‑15), and Canal Heights (45 lots; FP 26‑16). Rockford Homes representative Pat Olding said the landscaping and sign package for Creekstone Bluff would follow; Drew Cook represented GreyFox Creekside, LLC for Creekside Woods. The Canal Heights plat included coordination of right‑of‑way widths for a Chambersburg Road widening; staff reported the City Engineer had no comments. Each of these motions carried on unanimous 4‑0 roll call votes.
The commission approved the minutes of the May 12, 2026 meeting, noted two excused absences, reviewed upcoming meeting dates for July 14 and August 11, 2026, and adjourned at about 7:10 p.m.
What happens next: detailed development plans, landscaping packages and any remaining engineering or fire department reviews will be handled in subsequent submittals and by city staff during the Detailed Development Plan and permitting processes.
