Johnson County supervisors on Sept. 11 approved a slate of zoning and subdivision requests that will allow several existing homesteads to be split into new buildable lots and permit a 6.36‑acre agribusiness parcel near Frietown. The board voted 5–0 on each measure after county staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval.

County planning staff told the board the applications generally met the county comprehensive plan and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) standards and that the county engineer and county health department had no objections. Planning staff said historical aerial photography and property records show long‑standing residential or agricultural use for the sites, several of which include an existing dwelling built before Dec. 1, 2000.

The actions included:
- PCC‑25‑28708 (Andrew Aarons): Third and final consideration of a proposed ordinance approving rezoning of a parcel (motion moved by Green Douglas, second by Fixmerize; vote 5–0).
- PCC‑25‑28740 (Larry Barnes): Rezoning around an existing dwelling to permit a future subdivision; the board waived three readings and gave first and second consideration (moved by Green Douglas, second by Sullivan; votes 5–0). A related subdivision (PZC‑25‑28744, Fish Hunter Subdivision) was approved by resolution; the plat creates one buildable lot (1.99 acres) and an agricultural outlot (approximately 1.5 acres) and uses an existing access on Napoleon Street SE (a chipseal road with a reported daily traffic count of 380 trips) (resolution moved by Fixmerize, second by Green Douglas; vote 5–0).
- PCC‑25‑28741 (John and Carol Schneider): Rezoning around an existing dwelling to facilitate a future subdivision; staff noted the site is on a paved road with a reported count of 760 trips per day (moved by Sullivan, second by Green Douglas; votes 5–0).
- PCC‑25‑28746 (Mark Slobaugh): Rezoning of 6.36 acres from agriculture to agribusiness to allow a commercial subdivision parcel east of Frietown; staff referenced the Frietown village plan and a paved road traffic count of 1,900 trips per day (moved by Sullivan, second by Green Douglas; votes 5–0).
- PCC‑25‑28726 (Andrew Aarons/Aherns): Subdivision to create one buildable lot and one future development outlot; staff noted access from a private Timberland Place and deferred stormwater requirements to the building permit stage (motion to adopt resolution moved by Fixmerize, second by Green Douglas; vote 5–0).

Staff emphasized that several applications included waivers or deferrals: sensitive‑area reports were waived where staff concluded none were required; stormwater review was deferred to permit stage for some submissions; and future development outlots were described by staff as a mechanism to reserve possible later development but would trigger a new subdivision review if later made buildable. Planning staff said the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4–0 to recommend approval on the listed items at its Aug. 11 meeting, and health department recommendations were recorded as supportive where noted.

During the public‑hearing segments, the county chair asked for public comment; only individuals identifying as Scott Reeder (and, in one instance, the applicant Larry Barnes) appeared and no objections were recorded on the public record. After closing hearings, supervisors proceeded to votes that carried unanimously.

The approvals clear the way for the applicants to proceed with final platting and building‑permit steps where required, subject to any conditions in the adopted plats and the UDO.
