Board signs off on Harvest Lakes final plat; $1,664 in park fees assessed

The Rockwall Parks and Recreation Board approved P2026030, the final plat for Lots 1–4 in Harvest Lakes (a 12.82-acre tract at 550 Hance Trail). Staff said the applicant elected to pay parkland dedication fees and staff recommended using those funds to improve or add amenities in Park District 9.

Staff presented the fee calculation: cash-in-lieu of land at $588.74 per lot for two lots ($1,177.48) and pro rata equipment fees at $484.29 per lot for two lots ($968.58), for a total of $1,664.14. A Committee member moved to approve the plat; another member seconded and the board voted to approve the motion.

The board followed the same practice used elsewhere in the meeting: assess fees for the small number of lots rather than require land dedication, and route the funds toward neighborhood park improvements when appropriate.

Provenance: Item introduced at SEG 117 and the vote recorded at SEG 162.
