Committee approves Quarry Creek Phase 2 plat recording to allow Ryan Homes to sell lots
Summary
The Building and Lands Committee voted 6–0 to allow recording of the Quarry Creek Phase 2 plat (sublots 45–92, 48 parcels) so the developer and builder can proceed with home sales; the committee treated the request as a recording formality, not acceptance of improvements.
At a meeting of the Building and Lands Committee in Amherst, members voted 6–0 to approve recording the plat for Quarry Creek Phase 2, covering sublots 45 through 92 (48 parcels), to allow the developer and builder to proceed with sales.
Mister McCartney explained that Quarry Creek was approved as a planned development in spring 2024 but had been divided into four phases; the HOA documents submitted at first reading apply to all phases. "This is strictly for the purposes of recording, phase 2 of the development so they can continue to sell homes," Mister McCartney said, and he asked the committee to pass the item with suspension of rules on first reading and an emergency finding to avoid delaying sales. He added that acceptance of improvements will occur later after engineering sign-off and verification that work is complete.
The mayor (role) described the omission as the city's oversight and said the recording is a formality, not final acceptance: "This really was the city's oversight ... It just is recording the plat so that they can sell these lots. These improvements will be accepted at a later date." Committee members voiced assent and the chair announced the vote was 6 to 0 in favor.
The action approved the plat recording only; it did not constitute acceptance of public improvements in Phase 2. Committee members said staff will continue to work with engineers to confirm completion of the improvements before the council considers formal acceptance.
