Commission approves Westhaven Estates plat after stormwater relocation reduces lot count to 31
Summary
The Commission approved a revised Preliminary Plat for Westhaven Estates after the developer relocated a stormwater detention basin off the existing ditch, reducing the lot count from 33 to 31; the City Engineer confirmed outstanding comments had been addressed.
Developer representatives presented a revised preliminary plat for Westhaven Estates, a proposed single-family subdivision on Detroit Road. The primary change from earlier submissions was relocating the stormwater detention basin off the creek and onto two lots, which reduced the lot count from 33 to 31 to avoid triggering additional regulatory requirements tied to the ditch alignment.
City Engineer Ryan Cummins confirmed his previous comments had been addressed and judged the new plan satisfactory. Planning staff recommended approval, and the Commission voted to approve the preliminary plat. The change resolved concerns about basin placement and regulatory triggers tied to proximity to the creek; engineering review and standard subdivision conditions will follow through the normal permitting and construction-review process.
The developer’s revision was presented as a practical solution to avoid additional permitting complexity and protect creek alignment. Staff noted the decision had reduced density slightly in exchange for improved stormwater handling and regulatory compliance.
