Board approves plat for Jean and Scott Stewart outside city limits

The board approved a plat for Jean and Scott Stewart, a parcel located outside city limits but within three miles of the city, by voice vote. Staff told the board the county planning commission has already approved the plat and that a county ordinance requires platting for the project's proposed lot configuration.

Staff said the applicants intend to tear down the existing house and build a new house with a garage and that the board’s authority in this matter is limited to platting. The legal description associated with the plat was included in the meeting packet.

A motion to approve the plat was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote after the board noted there were no members of the public in attendance to comment. The record does not include a roll-call tally; the board recorded the outcome as "motion carried." The county commission is scheduled to hear the matter tomorrow, according to staff.

The board took no additional action and moved on to the next agenda item.
