Commissioners approve preliminary plat for Enchanted Oaks Estates in Precinct 3
Summary
The court approved the preliminary plat for Enchanted Oaks Estates, a roughly 530-acre subdivision to be split into 203 single-family lots served by on-site sewage facilities.
Kaufman County commissioners on Sept. 23 approved the preliminary plat for Enchanted Oaks Estates, a proposed subdivision in Precinct 3.
County staff member Shannon told the court the property is roughly 530 acres and is being split into 203 single-family residential lots. Shannon said the lots will be served by on-site sewage facilities and will meet the minimum 1 net acre requirement for those systems. The court voted to approve the preliminary plat so the developer may move to the official construction-plan review.
Why it matters: preliminary-plat approval allows the project to advance to construction-plan review and eventual permitting. The use of on-site sewage facilities with a 1-acre minimum affects lot sizes, septic permitting and future maintenance responsibilities for residents.
What was decided: Commissioner Lane moved to approve the preliminary plat; Commissioner Cole seconded. The court approved the motion by voice vote.
What comes next: county staff will proceed with the construction-plan review process. No conditions or amendments to the plat were recorded in the meeting minutes.
