The details
During the meeting, City Manager Scott Huizenga shared the details of the amendment to the development agreement, which was approved in May. Under the amended agreement, the total density was reduced from 278 to 227 lots.
“Part of what necessitated this reduction of lots was the drainage standards,” Huizenga said. “This amended DA adds a section that requires the developer to follow the current UDC standards for drainage.”
The Post Oak development has been planned in the community since 2013, formerly known as The Reserve. In the original agreement, the development included around 635 lots. Approval of the updated agreement reduced the lot sizes down to 278, making each lot a minimum of one acre.
With the approved Aug. 7 amendment, the total number of lots since 2013 has been reduced by 408 lots, Huizenga said.
Another amendment reduces the lot frontage from 150 feet to 120 feet, allowing for a curvilinear street design and neighborhood character. Lots will remain a minimum of one acre in size.
Having these changes approved, the original layout of the development has slightly shifted. Original plans showed the first phase of the project constructing 72 lots, while updated plans show the first phase constructing 60 lots. Overall, the project is still planned to be constructed over four phases.
