Peterson Properties seeks public input on development agreement and stormwater management plan

Farr West City is gearing up for significant development as the Planning Commission moves forward with a new development agreement for Peterson Properties. The agreement, which has already received approval from key stakeholders, will be discussed in a public hearing tonight. This agreement is crucial as it outlines the responsibilities of Peterson Properties regarding future developments, including the requirement for a comprehensive site plan.

During the meeting, officials emphasized the importance of addressing stormwater management, particularly in light of recent heavy rainfall that raised concerns about flooding in the area. The commission reviewed storm drain calculations and confirmed that the existing infrastructure can handle significant water flow, alleviating worries about potential flooding from new developments.

The discussion also touched on the upcoming Jersey Fields subdivision, which proposes 39 new homes on Far West Drive. Planning Commission members are preparing to address traffic flow and infrastructure concerns related to this new development, highlighting the need for adequate access points to prevent congestion.

As Farr West City continues to grow, the Planning Commission is focused on ensuring that developments comply with regulations and that infrastructure can support the increasing population. The outcomes of tonight's public hearing and the upcoming discussions on the Jersey Fields subdivision will be pivotal in shaping the future of the community.
