Goddard City Council reviews subdivision assessments, new senior transit program
The Goddard City Council held two meetings in the past two weeks, focusing on proposed special assessments for two large subdivisions and discussions on residential design standards. No final decisions were made at either meeting, but a public hearing on the assessments is scheduled for July 6, when the council will also consider launching a new senior transportation service.
Subdivision assessments move toward public hearing
At the June 23 meeting, the council considered approving final cost statements and assessment rolls for improvements in Arbor Creek Phase 3 and Bridger at Maple Phase 1. The proposed assessments total $1,043,567.37 for Arbor Creek Phase 3 utilities and paving, and $3,506,432.62 for Bridger at Maple Phase 1 utilities and streets. A public hearing on the special assessments was set for July 6. The consent agenda included $763,004.29 in accounts payable, with $576,934.19 designated for Public Works Facility construction.
Design standards discussed for new developments
On July 1, the council reviewed proposed design standards and restrictive covenants for residential rezoning, including rules for two-family buildings (duplexes), garage sizes, tree planting, and a potential storm shelter mandate costing approximately $4,500 per unit. The council also discussed requirements for the R-4 Strategic Growth Zone Overlay District. A street closure on E 4th Street was approved for a neighborhood fireworks display on July 4.
