Planning commission approves Heritage Landing Section 3 final plat
Summary
The Middletown Planning Commission approved the final plat for Heritage Landing Section 3, which creates 43 parcels (42 residential attached single-family lots and one open-space parcel) and aligns with the previously approved R-4P plan development standards.
The Middletown Planning Commission voted to approve the final plat for Heritage Landing Section 3 during its July 8 meeting.
Planning staff presented the proposal, saying, “The Heritage Landing development proposes a total of 17 buildings with 86 attached single family lots” and that the Section 3 plat “proposes a total of 43 new parcels” with 42 parcels for attached dwellings and one parcel designated as open space. Staff noted the zoning is R-4P (Plan Development District), approved by ordinance O-2021-53, and that engineering reviewed the final plat to ensure it complies with the approved final development plan.
The staff presentation described lot and setback standards: a 25-foot front-yard setback measured from edge of pavement, a minimum 15-foot side-yard separation between buildings, a six-foot minimum rear-yard setback, and an expected 4–6 units per building. Staff also said the development will incorporate private roads (Tradition Street, Liberty Lane and Honor Way), a storm sewer easement, and previously recorded easements.
Chair and commissioners moved to deliberation after closing the public hearing; one person who identified themselves as Brian Burning, vice president of CHRISTA Homes, was sworn in and available to answer questions, and no members of the public spoke in opposition. A motion to approve the final plat was made and seconded on the record. Commissioners recorded affirmative votes and the commission approved the final plat as presented.
The commission did not identify conditions beyond those in the approved plan; staff stated there were no outstanding comments from other city departments. The decision permits the applicant to proceed toward permit applications for the individual parcels under the established development standards.
What happens next: With the final plat approved, engineering and permitting steps for individual homes can proceed under the approved final development plan.
