The Applicant proposes replatting the attached townhomes portion of the Pioneer Ridge development. This is limited to the 40 attached townhome lots.
The proposed preliminary plat for Pioneer Ridge 2nd Addition incorporates an additional 5 feet of depth to the rear of each of the attached townhome lots. Following the installation of gas utilities on the front yard side of the attached townhomes, an additional 5 feet is required to construct decks and patios at the rear of the homes. These features cannot extend into the common HOA land and must adhere to the property lines.
This will cause a reduction in the common HOA lots. New drainage and utility easements will be dedicated and will adhere to the newly proposed lot lines. This alteration will not change the original proposed drainage or topography. The previously approved landscaping plan will not be altered as a result of the proposed plat update.
This proposed replat is for the Pioneer Ridge subdivision project, whose final plat was approved by City Council on September 8, 2025. Pioneer Ridge is a subdivision consisting of 54 lots, including 14 detached townhomes and 40 attached townhome lots. No changes are proposed for the 14 detached villa lots.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on October 6 with no public comments made. Planning Commission discussion was limited to questions related to the private utilities on site, confirming that all utilities were now on the private street side of the future homes and verifying that the condition of approval was the successful vacation and dedication of the drainage and utility easement.
Planning Commission recommended approval of the requested preliminary plat for Pioneer Ridge Second Addition.
