CBR Development, LLC received approval at the City Council meeting on 9 March 2015 for subdivision of
the 35.14 acre property located at the northeast quadrant of Odean Avenue and 85th Street. Following
approval of the application, the developer submitted a revised grading plan that would excavate a
portion of the existing regional storm water drainage basin within the 12.6 acre outlot to be dedicated
to the City. City staff considered the revised grading plan as having a potentially significant effect on the
parcel the City was accepting for park dedication and advised the developer that the revised grading
plan would need to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council.
The revised grading plan proposed to excavate the south side of the regional storm water basin to
provide material to create walkout and lookout home sites within the lots being subdivided in an area
that is otherwise generally flat. City staff and the developer had discussed the potential to excavate the
pond as part of the concept plan review but it was not shown on the grading plan submitted with the
preliminary and final plat application. Based on the concerns expressed by City staff regarding the
negative effects of excavating the south side of the regional storm water basin, the developer revised
their proposal to excavate the north side of the regional storm water basin to a lesser extent than
originally shown.
The change in location of the excavation and the reduce amount of material removed will alter the rear
yards of the planned houses and not affect the usable open space to be acquired by the City. City staff,
including the Parks and Recreation Department, supports the revised grading plan. The Planning
Commission reviewed the revised grading plan at their meeting on 18 May 2015 and voted 7-0 to
recommend approval.
