Blake Fontenot asked the Oklahoma County Planning Commission April 17 to defer consideration of the general and final plats for Fontanelle Subdivision (GP-2025-01; FP-2025-01) until Sept. 18, citing personal travel and potential relocation. The commission approved five-month deferrals for both items.

Planning staff explained the proposal involves splitting a five-acre parcel into two lots — approximately 2.75 acres and 2.0 acres — adjacent to Settlers Crossing. Fontenot told commissioners the plat itself would not change; he requested the delay solely for personal reasons, including travel and potential moving to Louisiana.

“Just due to personal reasons and some travel that we’ve got going on, I asked that we, potentially defer to the September 18 meeting,” Fontenot said. Staff confirmed no substantive changes to the plat were planned in the interim.

Commissioners voted to defer both the general plat (item 5) and the final plat (item 6) to the September meeting by roll call votes. The items will be taken up again on Sept. 18 unless the applicant withdraws or requests a different date.
