Fielding planning commission approves Harris Subdivision; staff outlines Mylar, water-share and permit steps
Summary
At a Fielding Planning Commission meeting, members approved the Harris Subdivision by voice vote and reviewed procedural requirements for recording the plat, water shares tied to building permits, and county building-permit fees.
At a meeting of the Fielding Planning Commission, members approved the Harris Subdivision and discussed procedural steps applicants must take to record the plat and later obtain building permits.
The commissioners approved the subdivision by voice vote after hearing from an applicant who asked for permission to divide a parcel to create new residential building lots. Planning staff and commissioners clarified that the plat will need to be submitted on a Mylar for county signing and recording, and that water shares are required at the time an owner seeks a building permit rather than at subdivision recording.
The applicant described the proposal as “we're just looking for approval to create a residential building lot here,” and said utilities including power and natural gas are available to the site. A planning staff member told the commission, “Only when you go to build on it,” in response to a question about whether a water share must be included with the plat, and later advised how to deliver the signed Mylar to the county.
Staff further summarized local fee practices for building permits and associated review. A staff speaker said the commission’s own fee is a $50 administrative charge and a $500 refundable landscape fee tied to a homeowner’s landscaping within 18 months of a certificate of occupancy; county fees and a small state fee apply separately. The staff speaker characterized the jurisdiction’s development fees as “really, really low” and said the county still sets the formal building-permit fees and issues permits.
Commission members and staff also discussed practical next steps: the applicant should have the final Mylar printed and brought to the local office for signatures and notarization before taking it to the county recorder for filing. The commission approved the agenda and minutes for the prior meeting by voice vote earlier in the session.
No roll-call vote totals were recorded in the transcript. The motions recorded on the meeting record were approved by voice vote with members saying “aye.”
