Preliminary plat presented for 41‑lot Windmill Ridge subdivision along FM 2193
Summary
County staff presented a preliminary plat for Windmill Ridge, a proposed 41‑lot subdivision along FM 2193. Staff said the plat proposes two access points on FM 2193, coordination with TxDOT on visibility issues is underway, and stormwater mitigation plans remain under review.
Washington County staff presented a preliminary plat for the proposed Windmill Ridge subdivision along FM 2193 during the Oct. 14, 2025 commissioners' meeting. The presentation described a two‑section development with a total of 41 lots, two access points to FM 2193 and ongoing coordination with TxDOT on access and visibility.
County staff said the proposal includes two separate blocks that are not connected internally: Block 1 (the westerly block closer to the FM 105 side) would include seven lots and was described in the presentation as having an average acreage of about 12.33 acres. The easterly block would contain 34 lots with an average acreage of about 2.85 acres; the presentation listed the smallest lot at 1.608 acres and the largest at 5.692 acres.
Staff told commissioners the project team is coordinating civil plans with TxDOT and that while they believe visibility issues have been largely addressed, TxDOT approvals and final civil plan sign‑off have not yet been completed. Stormwater mitigation remains a primary outstanding item; staff said mitigation plans are near resolution but final plans were not yet complete. No vote was taken — this was a preliminary presentation and county staff asked commissioners to note the plan before a future final‑plat submission.
Speakers and roles recorded
- Mister Stoltz — county planner/engineer presenting the preliminary plat (first referenced at 00:58:59). - County Judge and commissioners — presiding and listening; no formal action taken on this item.
Why it matters
If approved at final plat, the subdivision would add 41 residential lots along FM 2193 and would affect road access, stormwater runoff and future coordination with TxDOT for safe ingress/egress. The size mix (several larger acreage lots and many smaller acre lots) indicates a mix of rural and semi‑rural parcel sizes.
