The Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners on Sept. 16 approved a subdivision to create 14 single‑family detached lots at 1105 Rogers Street, south of South Golden Road, subject to conditions summarized in the staff report.

Why it matters: the proposal creates a private internal street (to be named West Eleventh Drive), on-site stormwater detention and improvements along Rogers Street; staff and outside utilities must complete final reviews before the plat is recorded.

Staff presentation: Ben Johnson, planning staff, said the site is zoned planned development under the recorded Rogers Street official development plan and is surrounded mostly by R‑2 and R‑3 residential properties. The plat lays out 14 lots and two tracts: Tract A for private access, emergency access, drainage and utilities (including the proposed private street and underground stormwater detention), and Tract B for right‑of‑way dedication and street improvements along Rogers Street.

Key technical points and conditions: Consolidated Mutual will provide water; Pleasant View Water and Sanitation will provide sewer; Excel will provide gas and electricity. Pleasant View Fire District deemed the proposal acceptable. Johnson said the director of planning and zoning approved certain alternative standards for the project, including a reduced parking calculation (2.75 spaces per unit where 3.5 spaces are required) that yields two‑stall garages plus additional off‑street parking. An alternative spacing standard for the internal access was approved (90-foot spacing allowed versus the usual 175 feet). The staff report also included an expansive‑soils plat restriction after the applicant’s soils report identified moderate swell potential.

Applicant presentation: civil engineer and project representative Robert Lautic described a product aimed at entry‑level homebuyers; he said the development would provide on‑site parking, garage space and shared‑maintenance through an HOA for landscaping and snow removal.

Decision: following staff presentation and applicant remarks and with no public testimony in opposition at the hearing, a motion to approve the preliminary and final plat passed unanimously (Commissioners Kerr, Zenzinger and Leslie Dahlkemper voting in favor). The plat will not be recorded until all conditions of approval are met.

Implementation notes: required agency approvals and final engineering must be completed prior to plat recordation; underground stormwater detention will discharge to Rogers Street and connect to existing storm infrastructure on South Golden Road.
