Commissioners approve preliminary plat for Middleton Estates in Precinct 1
Summary
The court approved the preliminary plat for Middleton Estates (Precinct 1); staff noted floodplain presence, private road maintenance by lot owners, and that final plat and tax receipts must be submitted before final approval.
Young County Commissioners Court approved the preliminary plat for a subdivision called Middleton Estates (Precinct 1) during its Jan. 27 session.
The applicant, represented in court, discussed property features including a large stock tank and a mapped federal floodplain that affects portions of the parcel. County staff and the developer described an L‑shaped lot configuration to maximize buildable upland outside the delineated floodplain. The court heard that the private road will be maintained by all landowners as an undivided interest; the developer said easements and a cul‑de‑sac/turnaround were planned to satisfy fire district and county standards. The proprietor and staff discussed a turnaround dimension; the transcript included a conversation about turnaround diameters in excess of standard minimums (referenced figures included 65 feet and larger), and staff said they would confirm compliance with county road and fire access standards at final plat.
The court moved to approve the preliminary plat; Commissioner Cresswell seconded the motion and the court approved it 5‑0. Officials told the applicant to return with the final plat, pay required fees and provide tax receipts before the final plat hearing and approval.
