The Waconia City Council approved plans for a new housing development and a new commercial development as its final meeting of the year Dec. 16.

The proposed Holbrook development targeted for a 240-acre swath of rural land along Little Avenue south of County Highway 10 on the southeast side of Waconia gained preliminary plat approval. The council also approved a zoning request and comprehensive plan amendment to enable what is known as the Falk-Saltire property be turned into 339 single-family housing parcels of varying lot sizes and home types. The development plan also includes streets, cul de sacs, sidewalks, trail connections, and open space designated for two parks, plus buffer zones around wetland areas.
