The Sarpy County Planning Commission on June 16 recommended approval of a rezoning and approved both preliminary and final plats for a 20.02-acre subdivision to be known as Riverview 175, voting 6-0 with three commissioners absent.
Planning staff told the commission the property, located on the south side of State Highway 31 near 175th Street, contains two existing single-family residences and two outbuildings and is proposed to be split into two residential lots and one outlot to remain in crop production. "There are no new or additional structural developments that are being proposed as a part of this request," the planning staff said.
The plan presented to the commission would create Lot 1 (about 3.02 acres), Lot 2 (about 9.106 acres) and Outlot A (about 8.018 acres). Staff said Lot 1 is proposed to be rezoned from AG to RE2 and Lots 2 and Outlot A to AGR to conform with the county's future land use designation; Outlot A would comprise roughly 40% of the site and remain in crop production. Staff noted parts of the southern property lie in an AE flood zone and that any future changes to access on Highway 31 would require Nebraska Department of Transportation review and permitting.
Planning staff also described an access easement to Highway 31 and a shared-well arrangement: staff asked the applicant to clarify whether neighboring properties to the north are receiving water service from the same well and, if so, to identify any lines or easements. The applicant's representative, Doug Kellner of TD2, identified himself and said he was available to answer questions but had no additional remarks.
A commissioner moved to recommend approval of the rezoning request and the motion was seconded; the commission recorded six yays and three absences (Whitfield, Weiss and Diminski) and the motion carried. The commission then approved the preliminary plat and final plat, each by the same recorded vote, subject to the conditions and attachments in the planning department recommendation report.
The planning department noted there was one item tentatively on the July agenda and that several matters will move to the Sarpy County Board for further action. The commission adjourned after wishing attendees a safe Fourth of July.
What happens next: The planning commission's recommendation and the plats/conditions will move to the Sarpy County Board for final action; any changes to highway access will require Nebraska Department of Transportation review.
