Farzaneh Development proposed the Sierra Brook subdivision west of Midwest Boulevard, and asked for a variance from the rule requiring 20% of platted land be kept as tree-preservation common area.
Black Oaks II septic system concerns
The 74-lot Black Oaks II subdivision would serve about 54 lots with aerobic septic systems where sewer can't reach. The Mayor and Moore both worried about odors and enforcement, prompting a two-week continuance.
