Princeton staff seek public hearing on annexation; planning board recommends conditional approval of Massey preliminary plat
Summary
Town staff recommended the board adopt a resolution setting a public hearing in August on an annexation petition for a parcel described in the record, and commissioners reviewed the Massey subdivision preliminary plat, which received conditional approval from the planning board with sidewalk and construction‑plan timing requirements.
Town staff told the Princeton Board of Commissioners on July 7 that a previously submitted annexation petition for a partial parcel identified in the meeting record would qualify for annexation and that the next step is to set a public hearing in August.
The presenter said the certificate of sufficiency and property descriptions were in order and recommended the board adopt a resolution setting the public hearing date for August. The meeting transcript records the recommendation; the excerpt does not include a roll‑call or recorded outcome for adoption of that resolution.
On a related development item, the Massey preliminary plat—covering lots with an average size described in the meeting as roughly 28,000 square feet—was presented. Planning staff said the parcel had been annexed the prior year and that the planning board recommended conditional approval. Conditions discussed included submitting construction plans within 120 days and meeting the town’s minimum lot size and subdivision standards.
Commissioners and the developer’s representatives discussed a sidewalk requirement. Planning staff confirmed the town typically requires sidewalks on one side of a street to create walkability and said the requirement applies as properties are annexed and developed. The transcript records concerns and clarification about setbacks, driveway inspections and alignment with state roadway standards; Mr. Merle Hall, identified in the record as present for the engineering and surveying team, was noted as available to discuss technical questions.
No final action to approve the preliminary plat is recorded in the transcript excerpt; planning staff described the conditional approval recommendation and next steps for construction plans and developer coordination.
