With fronting on one of the city’s busiest roads, developers were likely hoping to package out four of the new parcels for further development. The fifth and easternmost parcel that borders Legends Way, according to plat details, would be held as a common detention pond. Needing answers On its surface, the request isn’t all that concerning. Planning commissioners approve replat arrangements all the time, and staff notes included in the September meeting notes reveal that all other requirements — save utility extensions and a maintenance agreement for the shared detention pond — were met.
