Developer previews 50‑acre 'Split Rock Reserve' with about 163 single‑family lots
Summary
Dream Design International presented a 50‑acre Split Rock Reserve concept next to Burpin Valley Elementary that shows roughly 163 single‑family lots, internal street layouts, stormwater detention and no multi‑dwelling residential; staff and council asked about sidewalks, shared‑use paths and school coordination.
Mike Stanley of Dream Design International presented a concept plan for the Split Rock Reserve subdivision on Brandon’s eastern side, outlining roughly 163 single‑family lots, internal street connections and stormwater detention placed to avoid wetlands and the floodplain.
Stanley said the plan conforms with the city's comprehensive plan and would tie water and sewer to existing 12‑inch mains along Chestnut and Sunshine. He told council that staff suggested limiting access directly off Sunshine in front of the nearby elementary school to avoid drop‑off congestion and that the developer plans to meet with the school district and neighboring developers to refine access and sidewalks.
"As it stands right now, it's looking around a 163 lots. No MDR, all single family," Stanley said, describing two zoning classifications and internal street options (extending cul‑de‑sacs north or using U‑shaped connections) to minimize driveway access onto Chestnut.
Council members asked about shared‑use paths and park amenities; Stanley said none are shown in the current concept but that the developer would consider adding parks or amenities pending parks master‑plan guidance and input from the council and park board.
Next steps: staff will coordinate neighborhood outreach and park‑board review as preliminary plans are prepared for formal review.
