Basehor reports surge in single-family permits, ongoing construction phases and low-impact blasting for Bobcat Woods
Summary
City staff reported a notable rise in single-family building permits over the past 8'9 years, multiple active construction phases and low-impact blasting at the Bobcat Woods project; staff said infrastructure reviews remain ongoing.
City staff told the council Basehor is seeing robust single-family residential development and multiple construction phases moving forward.
A staff member reported that in the last two months the city has seen what may be the highest single-family permit counts issued in the last eight to nine years and that phases under construction are accelerating. The staff member also described work at the Bobcat Woods site, including blasting conducted with professional survey and mitigation efforts; staff characterized the blasting operation as low-impact and said they would try to limit activities to a single day to reduce disruption.
Council and staff said they are continuing reviews of infrastructure and sanitary systems for developments south of state lines and are attempting to expedite reviews to keep projects moving. No specific permit counts or developer names were provided in the meeting transcript.
