Lebanon City Council approves subdivision plats, Granite Lane task order amendment and parks vehicle purchase

At its March meeting, the Lebanon City Council voted to approve final plats for two subdivisions, approve Amendment 2 to a task order for the Granite Lane extension and declare surplus and authorize purchase of a parks utility vehicle.

The council unanimously approved the final plat for the Master Subdivision (Council Bill 68-25), which splits one lot into two at the 200 block of Phillips Drive to allow future sale of the northern lot. Planning staff described the change as a rezoning split between an RS1 and RS2 portion to accommodate a higher-density northern lot.

Council Bill 68-26, the final plat for the Trugden/Tredgen subdivision, which combines two lots on Montgomery Street into one lot to accommodate a future duplex, was also approved on first and second reading.

The council approved Amendment 2 to Task Order No. 38 with Olsen Incorporated for the Granite Lane extension project (Council Bill 68-27). Staff said the amendment clarifies right-of-way lines where a service road has historically encroached onto the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) right-of-way near I-44 and cleans up surveying discrepancies as the city proceeds with the extension.

Council Bill 68-28 declared a 2014 John Deere Gator surplus and authorized the purchase of a 2025 John Deere utility vehicle for the parks department from Heritage Tractor; staff said the replacement schedule shifted and the purchase exceeded the earlier budget projection due to market price increases.

Each ordinance passed the council's roll calls during the meeting; councilmembers recorded voting "yes" on first and second readings where required. The council recessed to closed session at the end of the meeting.

Ending: Council members did not remove any items from the consent agenda; staff moved forward with the advertised ordinances and contract amendment.
