County Engineer Drew Massey told the commission at the Sept. 15 work session that three subdivision replat applications were ready for consideration and that paving operations would be paused temporarily because the paving plant is not running.

Massey described the subdivision items as: a replat creating two lots in Hampton Campsite (replat of Lots 15 and 16) in District 4; a replat affecting portions of Lots 128–131 in McCully Veil Subdivision Phase 1 (called Bridal Subdivision) in District 2 and an updated submittal for Black Farm No. 1 that replats tracks 12, 34, 78, 010 and 11 to create 13 lots. Massey said Black Farm No. 1 had been resubmitted with changes.

On roads, Massey said weather had caused the asphalt plant to stop running for a few days, so crews were performing equipment maintenance and catching up on signed work orders. He said the generator that heats the screed on the paver was malfunctioning and scheduled for repair while crews were down, and that paving of several smaller roads in District 4 along the river remained scheduled for the coming weeks once the plant resumed.

The engineer asked whether commissioners wished to take the subdivision items separately; the chairman and commissioners agreed to take them together unless an objection was raised. The transcript shows staff presented the subdivision approvals to be taken as a group and no objection was recorded during the work session.

Next steps: the commission will take up the subdivision approvals on the agenda (the work session presentation indicated the items would be placed on the commission meeting agenda); staff will proceed with maintenance and return to paving operations when the plant reopens and weather allows.
