Planning commission approves 2026 calendar, appoints member and grants plat extension
Summary
At its October administrative meeting the Monroe County Planning Commission approved a partial 2026 meeting calendar, appointed Jeff Morris to the Plat Committee to fill a vacancy and granted a two-year extension for the North Park Area B-3 preliminary plat (SPP-23-3). Each action was taken by recorded voice vote during the administrative portion.
The Monroe County Planning Commission, meeting in its October administrative session, approved three administrative items: adoption of an initial 2026 meeting calendar, the appointment of Jeff Morris to the Plat Committee to fill a vacancy, and a two-year extension for the North Park Area B-3 preliminary plat (SPP-23-3).
The calendar vote approved a partial 2026 schedule that staff said is subject to later adjustment after county holidays and county council budget schedules are finalized. Planning staff told commissioners January dates for public hearings are needed soon to allow mandated public notice.
Commissioners then voted to appoint Jeff Morris to fill the remainder of the calendar year on the Plat Committee to replace the vacancy left by Edward (last name not specified in the transcript). The motion to appoint Morris was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote; commissioners recorded as voting yes included Scott Perris, Freddie (Rudy) Fields, David Henry, Jeff Morris, Julie Thomas, David Bush and Donna (Randall) (transcript names provided as spoken).
The commission also approved a staff recommendation to extend the North Park Area B-3 preliminary plat (SPP-23-3) for two years, setting the new completion date at Dec. 11, 2027. Staff said the applicant needs additional time to construct required public improvements; planning staff recommended the shorter administrative extension rather than a longer, noticed process. The motion to extend cited compliance with Chapter 8-30-5 and carried unanimously.
