Planning commission gives preliminary approval to 28‑lot Morton Creek subdivision with VDOT connectivity issue to resolve
Summary
The planning commission granted preliminary plat approval for a proposed 28‑lot subdivision off Wheeler Road (Morton Creek), subject to final plat changes and resolution of a VDOT‑requested connectivity stub location.
The Campbell County Planning Commission granted preliminary approval to a proposed 28‑lot subdivision off Wheeler Road, identified on staff materials as Morton Creek. The proposal includes two new streets and will require a name change for the duplicated Morton Creek Drive shown on the preliminary plat.
Staff said the subdivision must provide a stub or paper street to allow future connectivity to adjacent parcels; that stub’s proposed location is near the subdivision entrance and VDOT has indicated the location may not be ideal. Planning staff asked the commission to grant preliminary approval with the understanding that the final plat will adjust the stub location and street names as needed, and commissioners agreed to move the matter forward subject to those refinements.
The commission’s preliminary approval preserves final‑plat review and VDOT input on the location of the required connectivity and the final street naming. The preliminary approval does not authorize construction; final plat approval and any required VDOT comments or approvals must be completed before subdivision construction begins.
