St. Joseph City Council Approves Final Plans for New Residential Development
- Meeting Overview:
The St. Joseph City Council approved the final Planned Unit Development (PUD), preliminary plat, and final plat for the Oaks on 20th second edition, a significant residential project. The development includes a 42-unit apartment building and dedicates green space to the city. The council also resolved outstanding unpaid invoices for utility and maintenance services and announced upcoming hydrant flushing.
During the meeting, the council considered the final steps for the Oaks on 20th second edition, focusing on the public benefits and responsibilities associated with the development. The approved plans include replatting three lots into two, with one dedicated as green space to the city. This green space dedication saves the city costs on stormwater management as the developer will handle construction improvements. The development aims to expand housing options and enhance pedestrian connectivity with new sidewalks. The planning commission had recommended approval of these plans, emphasizing the importance of connecting a new sidewalk to an existing trail, subject to grading constraints.
The council also addressed several delinquent accounts during a public hearing, including utility billings, weed-cutting fees, and a charge for filling a resident’s pool. With no comments from the public, the council adopted a resolution to assess these outstanding invoices.
