Developers present two Dabbert plans for 125 lots; council weighs golf‑course option, Hwy 81 crossing

Developers Hellman and Dabbert presented two layout options for the Dabbert land development, one that includes golf‑course holes and one without. Both proposals would create up to 125 lots and require all properties to hook up to the city sewer system; the developers asked the council to review both plans and to establish terms for when sewer hook‑up fees will be due.

Council members and developers discussed access across Highway 81. Options explored included a pedestrian tunnel that Dabbert estimated would cost about $1 million, a pedestrian crosswalk with a speed table, lowering the posted speed from 45 mph to 25 mph, or installing a roundabout at Hwy 81 and Main Ave. Council member Turman asked that stormwater and lot water be pumped to the rear of lots rather than into the streets. Developers emphasized they do not want a divided community and said there would be no dead‑end streets in the plan.
