Commission approves sketch plat for Hillview Farm subdivision on Old Highway 25
Summary
The Planning Commission approved the sketch plat for Hillview Farm (section 2), a residential subdivision on Old Highway 25 that would create eight new R‑1 lots; staff said utilities and soils have been reviewed and the project will return for preliminary and final plat review.
The Planning Commission approved a sketch plat for Hillview Farm (section 2), a proposed R‑1 subdivision along Old Highway 25 that would create eight new residential lots (lots 2 through 9).
Planning staff said the property is zoned R‑1, soils testing has been completed, and a 6‑inch water line runs along the road to support the eight lots; one existing house (lot 1) already has a tap. Staff recommended approval of the sketch plat subject to compliance with subdivision regulations and engineering review. The chair noted that the applicant and family members own the land and that one commissioner recused earlier in the meeting because of family ownership ties.
Commissioners and staff discussed utility capacity: staff said the water system could support the additional meters for the current proposal but noted the county is approaching capacity in some areas and that upcoming state inspection results could prompt conversations at the water board. The commission approved the sketch plat; the applicant must return with preliminary and final plats and engineered plans for final approval and permitting.
Engineering review and any required infrastructure upgrades will be evaluated as the subdivision proceeds through the standard platting process.
