Development Agreement
Held by Planning Commission 5 June 2017
BACKGROUND/J USTI FI CATI O N:
Benzinger Properties has submitted plans for development of Crimson Ponds West 4th Addition located
east of Odean Avenue and north of 75th Street. The preliminary plat of Crimson Ponds West was approved
by the City Council on 10 October 2005 consisting of 187 single family lots. The developer is proposing to
amend the preliminary plat to include 39 single family villa homes at the southwest corner of the plat. The
changes to the preliminary plat require consideration of a Zoning Map amendment rezoning the area to R-
5, Single and Two Family District, a PUD -CUP for subdivision of unit and base lots, and preliminary/final
plat. The developer is also proposing to final plat 25 single family lots consistent with the layout of the
approved preliminary plat as part of Crimson Ponds 4th Addition.
Mr. Jeff Benzinger, of Benzinger Properties, was present to describe the changes to the subdivision design,
provide information regarding the proposed house designs, and address questions. Comments from the
public are summarized in the draft minutes of the Planning Commission meeting attached. The Planning
Commission had no concerns regarding the changes to the subdivision and only minor questions regarding
setbacks and landscaping. The public hearing was closed and the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to
recommend City Council approval of the application.
