Council approves NE 12th engineering agreement and two final plats

Moore City Council approved several development-related items: an engineering-services amendment for Northeast 12 Street reconstruction and two final plats for subdivision and commercial development.

Council approved Agreement No. 3 with Friends and Locals for additional engineering services on the Northeast 12 Street Reconstruction (I-35 to Eastern Avenue) project in the amount of $55,775. Staff said the additional funds cover work that was not in the original contract, including full roadway replacement and other required tasks. A motion to approve passed by roll call.

Council also approved the final plat for Cardinal Wounding Phase 1, a large planned development described as about 155 acres with 492 lots in the preliminary plat. Staff noted the final plat expands the approved area to include a secondary entrance on Southeast 19th Street, extension of public water and sewer, and additional detention required because portions of several lots lie within the 100-year floodplain. Staff said the development conforms with the Envision Moore 2040 plan and the city's 2021 drainage criteria and recommended approval; council voted to approve the plat.

Separately, the final plat for the Ace Hardware addition (a 1.79-acre lot at Northeast 12th Street and Eastern Avenue) was approved. Staff said public water and sewer are available, access will be from Northeastern Avenue with a single driveway and that stormwater detention in the parking lot may be used if appropriate for the site. Council approved the plat by roll call.

Staff emphasized adherence to the 2021 drainage criteria for both plats and noted additional common-area amenities and open space requirements for the residential phased development.
