The Washington County Planning Commission on Aug. 7 recommended approval of a preliminary plat to create Reynolds Acres Lots 1–3 near Fort Calhoun. The commission voted 6–0, with one member absent, to forward the recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for action on Aug. 26, 2025.

The subdivision application, presented by Mark Reynolds on behalf of Payton Reynolds and Karen Reynolds, would split Tax Lots 19 and 20 in Section 21-17-12 and Tax Lot 31 in Section 22-17-12 into three separate parcels located near County Road P36 and County Road 41. Planning staff explained the plat was required because a section line crosses the property and, under county regulations, each resulting parcel must have direct access to a county road.

Commissioners discussed lot access and confirmed that additional lots could not be added later without modifying the plat. No public opposition or conditions were recorded in the transcript.

The Planning Commission’s recommendation will be considered by the Washington County Board of Supervisors at its 3:00 p.m. meeting Aug. 26, 2025, in the Supervisors Room at the courthouse in Blair.
