Commissioners approve three final plats along State Highway 105 and Upshaw Road
Summary
The court approved final plats for Old Washington Business Park, Oak Creek subdivision and Upshaw Road subdivision after staff presentations that said each plat met county and state requirements; approvals were unanimous by voice vote.
Washington County Commissioners Court on May 6 approved three final plats: Old Washington Business Park (three lots at State Highway 105 and Washington Cemetery Road), Oak Creek subdivision (five lots at State Highway 105 and Old Navasota Road) and Upshaw Road subdivision (five lots north of Highway 290 on Upshaw Road).
County staff reported the Old Washington Business Park plat was modified from five lots to three lots to meet setback requirements; the three proposed lots are approximately 2 acres, 2 acres and 5.57 acres, with the largest parcel containing some floodplain and a required finished‑floor elevation benchmark. Staff recommended approval, saying the plat meets county and state requirements.
For Oak Creek, staff said the five lots include four about 2 acres and one large lot of about 13.224 acres with proposed access off Old Navasota Road; frontage exists on Highway 105 but proposed access is via Old Navasota. Staff described discussions with the surveyor and owner about access around a pond and berm.
The Upshaw Road subdivision was presented as five lots with frontage on Upshaw Road; staff noted the lots meet the county’s 60‑foot minimum right‑of‑way width for future road access if subdivided later. Each plat was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the presiding officer announced the motions carried.
Approvals were contingent on the plats meeting standard county and state development and access requirements; any future subdivision or changes will require additional approvals by the commissioners’ court.
