On October 2, 2017 the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Final Plat of Creek Bend Section 1, by a vote of 6-0 with the following conditions:

The plat was not recorded. The developer discovered that some of the land to be dedicated for drainage was not owned by the developer.

3.

The Final Plat will provide land to develop infill housing and new single-family residential

development, pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan.
