In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the development of a new subdivision, addressing concerns about lot sizes, drainage, and road construction standards. The subdivision will feature lots primarily sized at one acre, with some larger two-acre lots along the southern boundary adjacent to Cedar Ridge Farms. This arrangement was reached after consultations with property owners in the area.
A key point of discussion was the drainage system for the subdivision, particularly regarding the flow of water from the development into nearby Orchard Hills. Concerns were raised about potential restrictions caused by the design of the drainage, which involves two 90-degree turns. However, officials indicated that the current design should adequately manage water flow, utilizing a combination of grading and drainage structures.
The meeting also covered road construction standards, with assurances that all roads will be built to county specifications, regardless of whether they are designated as public or private. This includes oversight from county maintenance crews during construction to ensure quality. Developers will pay a fee based on the project's total cost to cover this oversight.
Additionally, the meeting confirmed that the subdivision's general plat exceeds zoning requirements, with commitments made to maintain a minimum building line of 50 feet. The project appears to have strong support from local officials, with no significant opposition raised during the discussions.
