Planning commission approves final plat for Strong Haven addition
Summary
The Keith Planning and Zoning Commission approved a final plat combining two tracts into a single 19.297-acre lot at Crisp and Myers Road, clearing the way for a single-story home; staff noted sewer access is off-site and fire sprinklers will be required at building permit.
The Keith Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 9 approved a final plat creating Lot 1, Block A of the Strong Haven addition by combining Tracts 57 and 58 into a single 19.297-acre parcel at the corner of Crisp and Myers Road.
City planning staff told commissioners the plat meets the technical requirements for a final plat and recommended approval. “Per state law, plat review is a ministerial function,” the staff presenter said. Commissioners voted to approve the plat; the motion passed with five affirmative votes.
The property owner purchased the two tracts in November 2024 and plans to build a single-story home on the consolidated lot. Staff said the house footprint would set back about 283 feet from Crisp Road and that the structures meet required setbacks. The presenter said the home measures about 11,000 square feet under roof and roughly 7,400 square feet of conditioned (air‑conditioned) area.
Sewer is not available at the site. The presenter said the nearest sanitary sewer is roughly 1,700 to 2,000 feet away and that the owner intends either to connect via off‑site sanitary sewer facilities or to use a septic system; the owner told the commission, “We plan to put in a septic system.” Staff noted that fire sprinklers will be required at the time of building permit.
Following the presentation and a short question period, Commissioner Wayne moved to approve the final plat and a second was recorded. After the vote the property owner addressed the commission, saying, “We look forward to joining the community and doing the part. We're really excited.”
Because the city’s plat review is ministerial, the commission’s action was limited to approving, approving with conditions, or denying the plat based on conformance with technical requirements. Staff recommended approval and the commission approved the final plat as presented.
