Board approves final plat for Hills of 7 Bridges subdivision with trail and road conditions
Summary
Platte County staff and the county engineer approved the final plat for the Hills of 7 Bridges subdivision (65 lots); the planning and zoning board approved the plat with conditions requiring public infrastructure completion, trail easement and installation, trees in a landscape easement, and other standard pre‑recording items.
The planning and zoning board approved the final plat for the Hills of 7 Bridges, a proposal by David Barth of Central Platte Holdings LLC to subdivide roughly 30.38 acres into 65 single‑family lots. Staff presented the plat and said the county engineer and staff had reviewed and approved construction plans and plat content requirements.
Thrun said the subdivision would construct multiple local courts and connect to the existing Copper Ridge subdivision and the Prairie Creek Greenway trail system. He said the developer will install a 10‑foot‑wide public trail within a 25‑foot trail easement along Highway N and provide an easement through private open space to allow the county parks and recreation department to construct a connecting trail to the Greenway. Stormwater facilities located outside public right‑of‑way will be maintained by a homeowners association, and a detention tract will also be private and maintained by the HOA.
Staff recommended approval with conditions to be substantially complete before recordation: completion of public infrastructure, release of required right‑of‑way, covenants and restrictions reviewed by staff and county counselor, installation of the public trail to Platte County parks specifications, establishment of the exact location for the trail connection to Bear Creek Greenway prior to recording, and installation of trees within the landscape easement along Highway N. The road district will maintain the streets and construction plans were approved by the county engineer.
A board member moved to approve the final plat with staff recommendations and conditions; the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Why it matters: The plat creates 65 new single‑family lots and includes provisions to add public trail connections to the Prairie Creek Greenway, roadway improvements and stormwater management, affecting future residents, homeowners association responsibilities and local trail connectivity.
Next steps: Conditions must be substantially complete before the plat can be recorded. Parks and public works will coordinate on trail construction and road improvements; the developer must satisfy the county engineer's requirements prior to recording.
