County engineer presents three subdivision plats; free trash day, highway renaming and spring hazardous-waste plans announced
Summary
At the March 17 work session, Limestone County's county engineer presented three subdivision plats for consideration. Commissioners also announced an April 5 free trash day, a Highway 127 renaming ceremony on the 25th and plans for spring hazardous-waste collection.
County Engineer Mark presented three subdivision matters for the commission's consideration at the March 17 Limestone County work session and staff announced several community-service events and operational actions.
Mark said the planning items included Guthrie Estates (minor preliminary and final, creating 10 lots in District 1), a replat titled Thomas W. Holland Subdivision (minor preliminary and final affecting four lots in District 3) and a Broadway/Eazale Road replat (replat of Lot 2 dividing it into five lots in District 3). Mark also told commissioners that herbicide spraying work has begun and will continue as weather permits.
Why it matters: The subdivision actions, if approved in future steps, change property lot counts and may affect local development patterns and service needs. The announced community services affect resident access to waste disposal and hazard-collection events.
Community-service and operational announcements
County staff announced a free trash day for residents on April 5 from 7 a.m. to noon at the lift station on Highway 72; district crews will operate trash-collection sites in several locations. The chairman also said county leaders will participate in a renaming ceremony for Highway 127, to be designated the Tommy Carter Highway, on the 25th of this month.
On hazardous-waste collection, staff said the county typically holds a spring hazardous-waste event in partnership with KALB and that they will coordinate with Claire (staff) to confirm a date; the county budgets a line item each year for hazardous-waste collection.
Details from planning presentation
- Guthrie Estates: Minor preliminary and final plat creating 10 lots, District 1 (presented by county engineer).
- Thomas W. Holland Subdivision: Replat of tracts 5, 6, 7 and 15; minor preliminary and final affecting four lots, District 3.
- Broadway/Eazale Road replat: Replat of Lot 2 dividing into five lots, District 3.
Mark reported that herbicide spraying is underway and will proceed as weather allows. The commission did not record substantive deliberation or final approvals of the plats in the provided transcript excerpt; Mark presented the items for consideration and the chairman invited questions, none of which led to extended debate on the record.
Ending
The commission closed the planning items and moved to other business after announcing the free trash day and the highway-renaming event. Staff thanked county employees, the sheriff's office and emergency-management personnel for their work responding to recent weather, and the meeting record notes the session adjourned until a later scheduled date.
