Planning commission approves Pueblo Estates Lot 1 subdivision for 55+ housing
Summary
The St. Mary’s County Planning Commission approved a preliminary plan Jan. 14 for a one-lot addition in the Pueblo Estates major subdivision restricted to residents 55 and older; approval was unanimous following staff recommendations that public facilities are adequate.
The St. Mary’s County Planning Commission on Jan. 14 unanimously approved the preliminary subdivision plan for Pueblo Estates Lot 1, a one‑lot parcel in a major subdivision restricted to persons 55 and older.
Bob Boles of the Department of Land Use and Growth Management reviewed the application and told the commission the preliminary subdivision plan had completed county technical review cycles in February 2007 and that no outstanding issues remained for preliminary plan approval. Boles said the lot will use a driveway onto Mohawk Court and that interparcel access for other lots in the subdivision is provided via the private Pueblo Way. He also said the applicant supplied the required recreation dedication (9,001 square feet where 8,712 was required).
Commissioner Brenda McNeal moved to accept staff’s report and findings pursuant to section 30.5.5 of the subdivision ordinance and approve the preliminary plan; Commissioner Michael Thompson seconded the motion. The commission voted unanimously to approve the plan.
Boles noted that sewer is not available in the vicinity, public water reaches the beginning of Mohawk Drive, and the applicant requested and received a technical waiver from the Metropolitan Commission, the health department and the director of land use and growth management for sewer/water rule compliance; the applicant must design hookups if sewer becomes available in the future.
The commission’s approval was recorded without additional conditions beyond those in the director’s attached report.
