Board approves partial vacation of Quail Ridge lots and final plat for Bradley Acres

Madison County supervisors approved two land‑use actions after hearing staff presentations and public procedural motions: a partial vacation affecting most lots in the Quail Ridge subdivision and final plat approval for Bradley Acres Subdivision.

Planning staff said petitioners Justin and Anne Doyle sought to vacate 23 of the subdivision's 25 lots so the property would revert largely to quarter‑section parcels, leaving lots 15 and 16 intact. Staff recounted the property's purchase history, said the parcels are zoned agricultural and contain no buildings on the lots proposed for vacation, and explained that vacation becomes final following required supervisor approvals and any further administrative steps. "They're looking to vacate 23 of the 25 lots," staff said.

On the Bradley application, staff described a 22.18‑acre parcel proposed to be split into two residential lots; the area is outside the FEMA 100‑year floodplain and has a CSR2 soil rating of 39.62, below the comprehensive plan threshold. Engineer‑issued access permits for driveway entrances were noted as approved for both proposed lots. Supervisors questioned a proposed impound (pond) that crosses lot lines and suggested recording a perpetual easement to avoid future disputes.

The board took voice votes to approve the partial vacation and the Bradley final plat. Both motions passed with no recorded roll‑call; the record shows voice votes of "aye" with no formal no votes reported.
