- If approved, the developer may begin grading the site and installing roads and utilities.
- Building permits cannot be issued until after the final step, Final Plat approval, is granted at a later date.

Who could be affected
- Property owners near the intersection of Cannonsburg Road and Brewer Avenue
- The developer, Grand Rapids Gravel Co.
- Future homebuyers in the Boulder View development
What could change
- If approved, the developer could start site work, including grading land and installing roads and utilities.
- The project would add either 24 or 30 new single-family lots to the Boulder Creek PUD, which allows a total of 225 platted lots.
- An 8-inch water main would be extended approximately 1,800 feet to service the new lots.
- New storm sewer infrastructure would be installed, including a detention basin with an outlet to the Grand River sized to handle future development phases.
What to watch

Building permits for homes cannot be issued until after that final approval.
- How many total lots are included in this phase? A staff memo states 24 single-family home sites, while the developer's narrative for the same phase states it will have a total of 30 lots.
Questions to check
