Board approves Collins Ridge rezoning, developer to fund water and sewer
Summary
The Board adopted ordinance 3115-26 on a 5-0 vote, rezoning property and approving the preliminary plat for the Collins Ridge subdivision; staff clarified the city will not pay for water or sewer connections and the developer bears those costs. Public commenters urged attention to sidewalks and narrow-street traffic.
On a 5-0 roll-call vote the Smithville Board of Aldermen approved ordinance 3115-26, rezoning the identified lands and approving the preliminary plat for Collins Ridge.
Alderman Atkins moved approval on second reading: "I move to approve bill number 3115-26, rezoning and preliminary plat for Collins Ridge," and the motion passed after public comment. The clerk later read the ordinance language, which the administrator characterized as an ordinance "changing the zoning classifications ... of certain lands located in the city of Smithville, Missouri and approving a preliminary plat for Collins Ridge Subdivision." The roll call recorded Aye from all five members present, 5 to 0.
During discussion the board clarified financial responsibility for infrastructure. One member explicitly noted that the city would not pay for water and sewer hookups for the development: the work will be carried by the developer across the project phases. Public commenter TJ Martin praised sidewalks connecting the development to Liberty Road and the school but warned a nearby narrow stretch of Liberty Road has on-street parking and could become dangerous if traffic increases; he urged consideration of additional pedestrian connections and potential widening.
The ordinance passed; staff said the item will be implemented according to the approved plat and developer schedule and that the citys permitting and inspection processes remain in force.
