The final plat includes 25 residential lots and four open space lots on 5.468 acres. The gross density is 4.56 residential lots per acre.
In a nutshell
The preliminary plat was approved by the planning and zoning commission in 2018, having changed owners between the preliminary and final plats.
City staff said the new owner has committed to repairs to Siena Court pavement as directed by the city engineer, alongside other improvements.
Planning and zoning commissioners raised concerns regarding the relationship between the new owner and the previous owners, who also developed The Cottages at Oak Park. A representative of the development said the previous owner is no longer affiliated with the development.
The plat was approved with the following stipulations:
- The recorded plat shall substantially conform to the final plat dated Oct. 20, 2025.
- Prior to final acceptance, permits shall be submitted, reviewed and approved for all improvements not included in the public infrastructure plans, including but not limited to gates that cross utility easements and repair of the perimeter wall.
- Prior to final acceptance of the public improvements, the developer must conduct all required testing of the water, sewer and gas infrastructure and make any repairs necessary to meet city specifications as determined by the city engineer. This includes, but is not limited to: repaving the entire cul-de-sac and repairing/improving drainage for the inlet intercepting the stormwater runoff leaving the Cottages on Oak Park detention facilities.
- A two-year, 20% warranty bond shall be provided at final acceptance.
- Prior to recordation, a finance guarantee shall be provided for the current cost of streets, drainage and utilities improvements if these improvements have not been accepted by the city.
- The final plat shall not be recorded until all clerical corrections have been revised as determined by the planning director.
