Planning commission approves several plats and a consent extension; multiple final plats forwarded to Board of Aldermen

The Olive Branch Planning Commission took several procedural and final‑plat actions during the meeting.

Consent agenda: The commission approved a consent agenda item extending the time to record the previously approved final plat for Hamilton Circle Subdivision, phase 1. The consent item was read by the chair and approved by voice vote after no requests were made for a full presentation.

Donald Ochsner final plat (final plat): Planning staff presented a 0.4024‑acre final plat for a single residential lot at 7356 Mockingbird Lane in the Maywood area (zoned R2). Staff recommended approval subject to three standard criteria; the commission voted to approve the final plat and forward it to the Board of Aldermen for recording.

Grama Creek final plat (final plat): The commission approved a one‑lot final plat for Grama Creek Subdivision (approximately 16.06 acres of the 17.47‑acre tract) after staff explained this application had been previously tabled pending additional information. The revised submittal dedicates a future right‑of‑way intended to allow a future connection between Youngblood Drive and Hunters Creek Drive but did not require immediate construction of that road; staff recommended deeding a 0.57‑acre remainder to the adjacent lot owner (lot 11). The applicant confirmed the adjacent lot owner consented to accept the remainder, and the commission approved the final plat subject to staff conditions; staff emphasized the driveway for any future home will need to be paved and a recorded plat must be in place prior to issuance of a building permit.

All three items were approved by voice vote and will be forwarded to the Board of Aldermen for final action or recording as required.
