Council approves final plat for Willow Woods Estates Phase 1, 30 lots on ~11 acres

Planning staff presented the final plat for Willow Woods Estates Phase 1 at the Dec. 3 council meeting. Miss Stewart said the development is a roughly 11‑acre R‑3 subdivision with 30 single‑family lots and five common lots.

"The final plat meets all the dimensions and standards for the R‑3 zone," Miss Stewart said, and city engineer Amy Woodruff recommended approval in a written recommendation included in the council packet. Councilmembers asked for clarification about a large triangular area shown on the plat, and staff explained it is a storm-water retention area, not a play area. Council also confirmed that the Explorer Street connection shown on the aerial is a completed road.

After questions and a short discussion about right‑of‑way and future connections, a councilmember moved and another seconded approval of the final plat. The motion passed on a voice vote.
