The Lakewood Planning Commission held a meeting on September 23, 2026, to review the final plat for the Vivian Subdivision, a redevelopment project of the former Vivian Elementary School site. The proposal by Toll Brothers includes subdividing the 7.9-acre property into 31 single-family lots, with significant land dedication for park space totaling nearly four acres in collaboration with the City of Lakewood. The commission discussed various procurement-related aspects including parkland dedication, utility easements, and infrastructure improvements such as new local streets and stormwater management. Public comments raised concerns about traffic safety, construction impacts, water pressure, and preservation of mature trees and playground equipment. The developer and city staff addressed these issues, detailing plans for construction scheduling, asbestos abatement, water system upgrades, and community engagement. The commission voted unanimously to approve the subdivision final plat, subject to demolition of the existing school building prior to plat recordation. The meeting also included scheduling of upcoming hearings and a joint workshop with the city council on zoning updates.
