Valley County commissioners approve final plat for Saddle Rock Subdivision Phase 3
Summary
The board approved the final plat for Saddle Rock Subdivision Phase 3, validating private road designations and acknowledging the Wildland Urban Interface Fire Protection Plan; commissioners noted recording and mylar requirements.
Valley County commissioners voted unanimously Oct. 22 to approve the final plat for Saddle Rock Subdivision Phase 3, a continuation of a multi-phase residential development that will use existing access points and private roads.
The vote authorized the chairman to sign the final plat and acknowledged that sanitary restrictions, the Wildland Urban Interface Fire Protection Plan and the owner's declarations of private roads, covenants, conditions and restrictions and servitudes are satisfied. Commissioners also validated 43 Acre Road and Skyhorse Drive as private roads to be listed on the official road name list and maps.
The motion, read into the record by a presenter, said the board would “approve the final plat for Saddle Rock Subdivision Phase 3, acknowledge the sanitary restrictions are satisfied, acknowledge the Wildland Urban Interface Fire Protection Plan, validate 43 Acre Road and Skyhorse Drive as private roads that will be listed in the official road name list and the official road maps, accept the declaration of installation of utilities, accept the owner's declaration of a private road, acknowledge the second supplement to declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions, servitudes for Saddle Rock Subdivision, and authorize the chairman to sign the final plat.”
Commissioners confirmed the development will not require a county development agreement because the subdivision accesses Highway 55. The board noted that structures in the subdivision will be subject to a fire impact fee. Staff said the subdivision is phase three of four and will have three access points overall; roads will be deeded to the homeowners association once the phases sell out.
Planning staff and the county reviewer confirmed that the developer implemented a private road agreement and continuing maintenance provisions are included in the subdivision’s covenants and restrictions. Commissioners also discussed the county’s statutory plat-recording practices and whether two mylars remain required for the official plat book; staff said they would have the county clerk confirm whether both mylar requirements still apply given electronic records.
The board asked staff to ensure the scanned records are captured for the plat book and to follow up on the mylar counter-copy question before final recordation. With no further discussion the board approved the motion and directed staff to complete recording steps.
A final administrative note from staff: one set of pages for the plat packet had been omitted in the paper submission; staff said the missing pages will be scanned and placed in the official plat book prior to final filing.
