Fiscal court approves Riverbank Farms preliminary plat for seven-lot subdivision
Summary
Nicholas County Fiscal Court approved the preliminary plat for Riverbank Farms phase 1, a seven-lot, stick-built residential subdivision; county staff said required studies and utility checks are complete and no new road construction is needed.
Nicholas County Fiscal Court on Feb. 14 approved the preliminary plat for Riverbank Farms phase 1, a seven-lot subdivision proposed for property owned by Riverbank LLC.
The court approved the plat after a presentation by a representative for the applicant and brief questions about minimum home size, water pressure and fire protection. The applicant’s representative said the owner completed the subdivision-required preliminary work, including soil testing, water-pressure checks and coordination with the state highway department. The court’s motion to approve was made by Mister Haney and seconded by Mister Holbrook; the court voted in favor.
Court members and the presenter clarified conditions included in the plat. The presenter said the subdivision’s restrictions will bar doublewide and trailer homes and require a minimum dwelling size of 1,400 square feet. He also said no new roadways are required for the phase now before the court and that at least one existing structure on the property would be grandfathered onto a lot.
Court members asked about water pressure and fire protection. The presenter said engineers had reviewed water pressure and concluded it would be sufficient for the proposed homes; he also said the county’s consulting reviewer (identified in the meeting as Mister Reynolds) indicated there would not be a problem with pressure for firefighting needs.
The court approved the preliminary plat with the condition that the applicant file the final plat with the county before recording. After the vote a court member asked the applicant to bring the final plat to the court for review before recordation.
What happens next: The presenter said the preliminary plat will be modified for final recording and the applicant will file the final plat with the county land records as required by local subdivision rules.
Votes at this meeting on this item were recorded as a motion by Mister Haney, second by Mister Holbrook; the court voted “aye” and carried the motion.
