Sellers Crossing preliminary plat modified: county approves reduction from 48 lots to 22 and confirms private roads, sewer/water implications
Summary
The board approved a modification to the Sellers Crossing preliminary plat that reduces the approved lot count from 48 to 22; staff said the change moved the entrance off Highway 90 to Old Spanish Trail to avoid mandatory connection to public water and sewer.
Jackson County commissioners approved a modification to the preliminary plat for Sellers Crossing, reducing the planned development from 48 lots to 22 and confirming the revised entrance location and utility approach.
Staff said the original plan showed an entrance off Highway 90 that would have triggered a requirement to connect to county water and sewer because of proximity rules; the developer elected instead to outparcel the portion abutting Highway 90 and place the entrance on Old Spanish Trail. Because that location is farther from water/sewer mains, lots will be served by individual wells and septic systems rather than a public connection, staff said. The board heard that the streets in the revised plat will be private but paved, and staff noted that the planning commission recommended approval on May 5.
A commissioner raised concerns from neighbors about increased traffic on Old Spanish Trail; staff confirmed a traffic study was required and that no level‑of‑service reductions were identified. The board voted to approve the modified preliminary plat by motion and voice vote.
The county did not accept any private roads for public maintenance; staff advised that future acceptance would require the roads to meet county construction standards and a formal acceptance process.
