Summary
The commission approved an amending plat to combine two 0.705‑acre parcels on Old Bayou Drive into a single lot; applicant said a power line easement across the lots prevents practical construction without combining them.
The Planning & Zoning Commission approved an amending plat on Oct. 21 to combine two adjacent parcels in Bayou Chantilly Section 2 into a single 0.705‑acre lot on Old Bayou Drive.
Applicant Steven Futrell told the commission he owns both lots and that a high‑voltage transmission easement cuts through the center of the two existing platted parcels, which would impede placing a house on a single lot at a buildable location. “I’m thinking about possibly building a house,” Futrell said; he told the commission combining the lots would allow him to locate a house outside the overhead‑line easement.
The commission opened the required public hearing under state law, received no public opposition, and voted to approve the amending plat. The approval clears the way for Futrell to proceed with construction‑level plans and the city’s routine permitting process.
Next steps: applicant to submit building plans and any required construction‑phase engineering for staff review and permits.
