Council OKs extension for Oak Valley South Phase 1 preliminary plat as developers cite FEMA delays
Summary
The Oak Ridge City Council unanimously approved an extension to the preliminary plat approval period for Oak Valley South Phase 1 after developers said construction is delayed for lack of funds and pending FEMA-related repairs expected to take six to nine months.
The Oak Ridge City Council on Nov. 10 unanimously approved an extension of the approval period for the Oak Valley South Phase 1 preliminary plat. Developers represented by Landon Darwin of Lackland Holdings told the council there has been no construction yet because of funding shortfalls and pending FEMA matters.
"Waiting on FEMA maybe 6 — 9 Months," Landon Darwin said, explaining that permanent road repairs will be addressed later and short-term measures are planned for now. Mayor Pro Tem Jimmy Quick moved to grant the extension; Rolando Guzman seconded and "all others being in favor, motion carried," according to the meeting record.
The approval keeps the preliminary plat active while developers and city staff coordinate on additional conditions and any applicable city or state regulations. Council members did not record any amendments to the extension when it passed unanimously. The developers and council noted that permanent road fixes will be scheduled once funding and FEMA determinations are complete.
