Summary

The council approved a revised cluster site plan and companion conservation easement for the former Candlewood swim-club site, authorizing 10 detached homes and a conservation buffer along the south property line as part of the Cedars of Farmington Road development.

The City Council approved a one-family cluster option agreement and a companion conservation easement for the Cedars of Farmington Road project, covering the vacant site of the former Candlewood swim club. Planning director Charmaine Kettler Schmalt summarized the application and said the proposal includes 10 detached homes, open space at the north side of the proposed roadway and a conservation easement along the south property line to provide buffering.

Kettler Schmalt told council the structures had been removed from the site and the cluster agreement was a condition of the council's earlier 05/11/2026 approval. An applicant was in the audience and staff said the packet materials contain the site and facade plans. A councilmember moved to approve the agreements and authorized the acting city manager to sign on behalf of the city; the motion carried on a regular vote.

The approvals complete the local requirement tied to the revised cluster site plan; the conservation easement is intended to preserve open space and a buffer for adjacent properties.
