Approval of a Final Plat for Kettlestone Ridge Plat 1
Senior Planner, Andy Kass, stated that the subject property is located east of SE L.A. Grant Parkway
and north of Ashworth Road containing 9.38 acres. Mr. Kass explained that the subject property is
zoned R-2, One and Two Family Residential containing a total of 19 single family lots and one outlot
to be dedicated to parkland. Mr. Kass explained that this is only the first phase of a multiple phase
process for Jerry’s homes. Mr. Kass stated that all lots will be served with public utilities and that
sanitary sewer will be extended from Bluestem Plat 1. Mr. Kass explained that storm water detention
will be managed with the dry bottom detention basins provided in the future phases of Kettlestone
Ridge to the southwest, but as of now storm water will be detained in temporary swales that have
already been graded.
Commissioner Schmidt asked how much total land will be dedicated for parkland in that whole area
(including the adjacent plats). Mr. Deets explained that roughly five acres total will be dedicated for
parkland once the other land to the northeast gets platted.
Commissioner Streit questioned if Kettlestone Ridge will still be platted in five different phases. Chip
Classon, Jerry’s Homes, explained that it will still be platted in multiple phases, but the weather was
the reason for the change in the first phase.
Commissioner Schmidt asked what species of trees will be planted as street trees along SE Tallgrass
Lane. Mr. Kass explained that there are a variety of trees called out as acceptable trees within the
Kettlestone Design Guidelines, so the trees would be something from that list.
Motion by Commissioner Hoifeldt, seconded by Commissioner Schmidt to approve the final plat for
Kettlestone Ridge Plat 1 subject to any remaining staff comments, review of the legal documents by
the City Attorney, and completion of public improvements. Ayes: Nigro, Fontenot, Streit, Hoifeldt,
Shanks, and Schmidt. Nays: None. Motion carried.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: The majority of public improvements associated with the
final plat have been completed. The remaining items have been identified and
an appropriate bond has been placed for their completion. Staff would
recommend approval of the final plat.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution.

Project Description:
Lots:
The final plat includes 19 single family residential lots. The lots range in size from 9,360 square feet to 17,389
square feet. The lot frontages range in width from 65 feet to 80 feet. All lots will have the standard 30 foot
front and rear setback along with the standard 15 foot (total) side setback.
Outlot Z in the northeast corner is 1.68 acres in area and has been identified as parkland that will be
dedicated to the City.
Streets:
SE Florence Drive and SE Willowbrook Drive will be extended from the Westown Meadows plats to the
south through the proposed development. SE Tallgrass Lane will be extended from the east plat boundary of
the adjacent Bluestem development. SE Kettle Ridge Lane will be a new street.
As part of being located within the Kettlestone development the Kettlestone Design Guidelines outline
specific requirements for developments. Two unique features that will be included in this development are the
street lights that will be located along SE Esker Ridge Drive and the street trees located along SE Esker Ridge
Drive and SE Tallgrass Lane. The final plat includes a note stating street trees shall be installed along SE
Tallgrass Lane as each individual lot develops in accordance with the Kettlestone design standards.

Easements:
Several easements are proposed within the plat based upon the location of proposed utilities.
Utilities:
All lots will be served with public utility services. Sanitary sewer for this plat will be extended from Bluestem
Plat 1.
Storm water detention will be provided in the rear of Lots 128 – 132 and142 -148 of the overall Kettlestone
Ridge Development. These lots are located to the southwest of the first phase, Plat 1. Storm water will
ultimately outlet in the southwest corner of Lot 128. Each individual lot owner will be responsible for the
maintenance of that portion of the detention area that is located on their property. The detention area is
intended to be a dry bottom detention basin meaning that it will only hold water during rain events. These lots
proposed to accommodate this detention have been designed to have a greater lot depth than a typical lot
depth.
Parkland Dedication:
Outlot Z will be dedicated to the City to satisfy parkland dedication requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
At this time Staff feels comfortable with the proposal and would recommend approval of the Final Plat for
Kettlestone Ridge Plat 1 subject to remaining staff comments, review of the legal documents by the City
Attorney, and completion of public improvements.
