Fair Oaks Ranch panel to review Post Oak’s 59-lot plat and tree plan

Staff's proposed plat recommendation calls for developer hydraulic calculations relevant to drainage and verification of drainage-easement widths. It also calls for satisfaction of the tree-plan approval conditions. These are proposed conditions in the packet, not findings that the developer has already completed the work. The drainage calculations and easement widths matter because the proposed plat must account for how water would move through and around the development.

The separate tree-plan recommendation

The commission is scheduled to consider a recommendation on the Post Oak Phase 2 Tree Removal and Preservation Plan. Staff's packet says the plan marks 17 heritage trees and 26 other protected trees for removal. It lists 77 required mitigation trees and 110 planned mitigation trees. Those counts describe the submitted plan and staff's review; they are not a record of trees already removed or planted.

Staff proposes a conditional recommendation on the tree plan and calls for corrections to its tables, including missing information for tree No. 2108. The proposed mitigation count of 110 is based on two trees for each of the 55 residential lots. Readers comparing the proposal with any later recommendation should check whether the corrected tables change the counts or conditions.

How to attend and what comes next

The Planning and Zoning Commission meeting is scheduled for Nov. 12, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in the Public Safety Training Room at the Police Station, 7286 Dietz Elkhorn Road, Fair Oaks Ranch. The posted agenda asks people who wish to speak during “Citizens to be Heard” to sign the attendance roster and sets a five-minute limit for each speaker. That general comment period is agenda item 3; the two Post Oak recommendations are items 5 and 6.

The agenda also lists roll call, the pledge and possible approval of the Oct. 8 commission minutes. Those routine entries do not change the status of either Post Oak proposal. The commission can make recommendations on the tree plan and preliminary plat at this meeting; the packet says City Council has final authority to act on the plat. The next useful record will be the commission's recorded recommendations and any conditions it adopts, followed by the council's plat action. The official meeting packet contains the staff reports and proposed conditions readers can compare with those later records.
