Commission forwards 74‑lot preliminary plat for Black Oaks 2 after sewer and access questions
Summary
The commission voted 5-0 to forward a preliminary plat for Black Oaks 2 at Iron Horse Ranch (PR26-00001), a 63‑acre subdivision of 74 lots. Public speakers asked about the entryway design and whether new streets will connect to the existing Black Oak neighborhood; the applicant said frontage off Sorghum Mill Road would be gated and the developer will extend sewer as far as feasible. City engineer Austin Smith explained gravity-flow and lot-size rules for sewer connections.
The Edmond Planning Commission unanimously approved forwarding a preliminary plat for Black Oaks 2 at Iron Horse Ranch to the City Council.
City staff said the subject property is approximately 63 acres and would be platted into 74 lots ranging from roughly 0.5 to 0.75 acre. During public comment, Bill Leble, who said he lives near the proposed entry, asked what the entryway will look like and whether there would be a wall or other feature adjacent to existing properties. Another resident, Pradeep Yadav, asked whether the new development would permit direct access into the existing Black Oak neighborhood and suggested a gated separation if so.
The applicant said they have not finalized entry monuments or landscaping details but that frontage off Sorghum Mill Road would be gated and internal streets would be private. "As far as the entry monuments and stuff, we don't have that worked out just yet," the applicant said. City development engineer Austin Smith explained two requirements for mandatory sanitary sewer connections: gravity flow and lot size, noting that the proposed lot sizes (0.5–0.75 acre) generally avoid a mandatory connection absent gravity flow or higher-density conditions. The commission approved forwarding the plat by a 5-0 vote.
