Keith County approves Plover Way vacation and final plat for Pelican Rouge lots on Lake McConaughy
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved a road vacation and a final plat allowing two lots to be created on the north side of Lake McConaughy after zoning staff recommended the action and public notice procedures were followed.
The Keith County Board of Commissioners approved the vacation of Plover Way in the Pelican Rouge subdivisions and separately approved a final plat combining and reconfiguring lakefront lots, the board announced during its Oct. 22 meeting.
Zoning administrator Cody outlined the request by James Jones and Mike Veil, doing business as Vale Enterprises LLC, to vacate Plover Way in Pelican Rouge 4 and 6 and described the items required by the county’s road vacation procedure, including a feasibility study and certified mail notice to adjacent property owners. Cody said the roadway was never built and that vacating it would not landlock any lots.
Commissioner Irvin moved to approve the road vacation, and Commissioner Schroeder seconded. The board approved the vacation unanimously on roll call.
Cody then presented a related final plat request by James Jones to combine several lots on the north side of Lake McConaughy into two parcels: proposed Lot 1 at about 2.7 acres and proposed Lot 2 at about 2.28 acres. The plat shows portions of the property in the floodplain and an administrative replat already recorded for an adjacent lot. After a public hearing with no comments, Schroeder moved to approve the final plat and Irvin seconded; the board approved the final plat by unanimous roll call.
Why it matters: The approvals allow the property owners to consolidate lakefront parcels for development or use and clear the record by vacating an unbuilt platted road. County staff noted terrain and floodplain constraints that will affect any future building plans.
What’s next: County staff will record the road‑vacation resolution and the final plat (mylar) with the county register, and owners will proceed with any subsequent permitting and site work under applicable zoning and floodplain rules.
