- Meeting Minutes Approval: Minutes from November 24, 2025, approved by a vote of 6-0.
Public Comments & Testimony
- No public comments or written correspondence were received. Staff confirmed notification to surrounding property owners, legal advertisement, and posted signage elicited no questions or concerns.
Discussion Items
- Teal Springs PUD Amendment (PL 25-37, Ordinance 2300-26): City Planner Schroeder presented the request from the developer (FP Little Goose) to amend the Planned Unit Development regulations for the Teal Springs subdivision (south of Brundage Lane, west of Coffeene Avenue). Two changes were proposed:
- Revise the minimum home size from 2,500–4,000 square feet to 1,800 square feet minimum living space (aligning with existing covenants).
- Remove the blanket requirement for slab-on-grade construction and instead require a geotechnical investigation report for each lot to determine appropriate foundation design (e.g., crawl space or basement, if feasible).
- Staff noted that all property owners in the subdivision had signed letters authorizing the applicant to pursue the changes, and all internal review comments had been addressed.
- Commissioner Lehman inquired about covenants, and applicant representative Tyson Markham confirmed the minimum square footage in the covenants already matched the proposed 1,800 sq. ft.
- Commissioner Peterson questioned the feasibility of basements due to high groundwater. Mr. Markham explained that the geotechnical requirement would allow lot‑specific decisions, noting some lots on Coffeene Avenue are well above groundwater.
Key Outcomes
- Motion to Recommend Approval: Moved by Commissioner Franklin, seconded by Commissioner Windsor. The commission voted unanimously (6-0) to recommend approval of PL 25-37/Ordinance 2300-26 to the City Council. No conditions were added.
- Adjournment: The meeting adjourned after a reminder of the next meeting scheduled for January 26, 2026.

So our first project of the year here is Teal Springs PUD amendment. This is a major PUD amendment because it affects all lots within the Teal Springs subdivision. As you are probably aware, the subdivision lays south of Brundage Lane and just west of Coffeene Avenue. It was originally zoned PUD with and the PUD adopted in June of 2023. And the first phase of the subdivision was platted in September of 2023. And so as this first phase has built out, the developer has discovered market trends that have prompted a request to change some of what is in the PUD regulations because as you know a PUD is the zoning district for that property, and so the PUD is what governs things like setbacks, height requirements, architectural requirements, etc. The PUD design report is in your packet, and we're focusing on just this little section here on page five under number seven development programming type and size of dwelling units.
