2Conceptual Development Plan for Koehler Property
Jay Roos of LGI Homes requested feedback on a 14-lot subdivision on about 80 acres east of Baugh Street connecting 194th Lane and Vicuna Street.
The commission reviewed LGI Homes’ concept for a 14-lot rural residential subdivision east of Baugh Street between 194th Lane and Vicuna Street. Discussion focused on street connections and naming, whether a temporary cul-de-sac or easement would be needed toward Baugh Street, wetland and septic constraints, and park and trail dedication fees; no formal action was required for the advisory concept review.
Concept plan review was advisory only; no formal action was needed.
3Conceptual Development Plan for 181st Avenue/Baugh Street Property
Grant Rademacher of Rademacher Companies requested feedback on a proposed subdivision with 20 single-family lots and one commercial parcel on 110 acres at 181st Avenue and Baugh Street.
The commission discussed Rademacher Companies’ concept for 20 residential lots and a 10-acre commercial corner for Bill’s Superette and G-Will Liquors at 181st Avenue and Baugh Street. Members discussed the need for a Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning, prior neighborhood concerns, traffic, buffers, trails, wetlands, possible park amenities, and whether commercial development at the corner is likely in the future; the majority favored continued work on the concept, and staff planned to ask the City Council about a work session with resident input.
The commission discussed the concept and favored further discussion, including a possible City Council work session and resident input, but no formal approval was taken.

When someone referred back to earlier business, we found the matching prior discussion and tied it in here.
A similar request was pursued in 2017 but did not include the 100 acres planned for single family residential as part of the unified development proposed today and also contained 41 acres of commercial land versus the 10 acres proposed at this time.

What this is about
Prior commercial concept for the 181st Avenue/Baugh Street area in 2017 compared with the current Rademacher proposal.
The records searched do not contain a prior 2017 decision or proposal matching this recollection for a commercial concept at the 181st Avenue/Baugh Street area, and they do not show a recorded 2017 comparison involving 41 acres of commercial land. The related records that did appear are more recent. Rademacher Companies is listed in 2026 materials for “Viking Estates,” a proposed 14-lot subdivision on approximately 44.04 acres, including a variance request reviewed in the February 24, 2026 packet and included again for the March 10, 2026 Council packet. Separately, Baugh Street appears in 2026 road-improvement materials, but those references concern overlay assessments and not land-use approvals.
A similar proposal a few years ago did not include the residential development.
— Liz Stockman
What this is about
Prior 181st Avenue/Baugh Street proposal that lacked residential development.
The records searched do not contain a prior 181st Avenue/Baugh Street proposal matching this recollection, and they do not show a prior decision on a similar proposal that specifically lacked residential development. There are only partial matches. Baugh Street appears in the 2026 Overlay Road Improvement Project records: at the January 13, 2026 meeting packet, the project included portions of Country Meadows, including Baugh Street, 222nd Avenue, 222nd Circle, Iman Street, and Eaton Street, with estimated project costs later listed in 2026 assessment documents. Separately, the February 24 and March 10, 2026 packet materials discuss Viking Estates, a proposed 14-lot rural residential subdivision, but the excerpts provided do not connect that project to 181st Avenue/Baugh Street or to an earlier nonresidential version.
Haapala asked why it was not considered for zoning Commercial at that corner in the 2030 Comp Plan.
— Dan Haapala
What this is about
Whether the 181st Avenue/Baugh Street corner was considered for commercial zoning during comprehensive planning.
The records I searched do not contain a prior discussion or decision matching this recollection about whether the 181st Avenue/Baugh Street corner was considered for commercial zoning in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The only search hits involving Baugh Street were for the 2026 Overlay Road Improvement Project, including Country Meadows roads such as Baugh Street, 222nd Avenue, 222nd Circle, Iman Street, and Eaton Street, discussed in 2026 packets. Those records relate to street improvements and assessments, not comprehensive planning or commercial zoning at 181st Avenue and Baugh Street.
He responded that the residents in the area responded negatively to the plan the last time, and negative press without facts got neighbors excited.
— Jeff Pilon
What this is about
Neighborhood reaction to the earlier commercial plan near 181st Avenue and Baugh Street.
The records I searched do not contain a prior discussion or decision matching this recollection about neighborhood reaction to an earlier commercial plan near 181st Avenue and Baugh Street. The search results only show Baugh Street in connection with the 2026 Overlay Road Improvement Project, including Country Meadows streets, discussed in 2026; those records concern road improvements and assessments, not a commercial development plan or resident opposition.
Mentioned the City Council potentially being resistant to development on this corner as they were in the past.
What this is about
Past City Council resistance to development on the 181st Avenue/Baugh Street corner.
The records I searched do not contain a prior City Council decision matching the recollection that Council resisted development at the 181st Avenue/Baugh Street corner. None of the search results specifically mention 181st Avenue, that corner, or a development proposal tied to that location. There are only partial, non-matching references: Baugh Street appears in the 2026 Overlay Road Improvement Project materials, including at the April 14, 2026 meeting packet and May 12, 2026 packet, but those records concern road improvements and proposed assessments, not development resistance. The March 10, 2026 packet includes development-related items, including subdivision/variance materials, but the excerpts provided do not identify them as being at 181st Avenue and Baugh Street or show prior Council opposition to development there.
