Council approves Highview Park final plats (4th and 5th editions) advancing subdivision buildout

The Shakopee City Council approved final plats for Highview Park Fourth and Fifth editions on April 15, advancing two additional phases of a large subdivision south of County State Highway 78 and west of Marystown Road.

Staff reported the Fourth Edition consists of 15 single‑family homes and that D.R. Horton is the developer for the project phases in question. The Fifth Edition was described in staff remarks as the next phase and includes additional single‑family lots and outlots for later development; staff said the proposed home designs comply with R‑1B design and performance standards and that developer‑ and county‑level review of sewer, right‑of‑way and access had been addressed in the latest plan sets.

Council members noted that park‑dedication fees from the plats will be applied to Jackson Commons Park improvements. Staff said Marystown Road access and county spacing requirements were considered and that the subdivision includes multiple internal accesses and proposed connections to Zumbro Avenue to create a looped neighborhood street network.

Councilors voted to approve Resolution R2025‑005 (Highview Park Fourth edition final plat) and Resolution R2025‑036 (Highview Park Fifth edition final plat). Both motions passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition. Staff told the council final engineering, utility extensions and construction sequencing will follow the plats’ approvals and that additional phases remain in the development pipeline.
