Commission recommends approval of Sorrels subdivision replat, subject to exception
Summary
The planning commission recommended approval to the Board of County Commissioners of a two-lot replat (Sorrels Third Edition) after granting a related exception for lot depth-to-width ratios; the board will consider the request at an upcoming meeting.
Leavenworth County Planning Commission voted unanimously to grant an exception and to recommend approval of a preliminary and final plat replatting Lot 2 of the Sorrels Second Edition subdivision into a two-lot Sorrels Third Edition.
Staff told the commission that the replat relies on an existing driveway for frontage and that the resulting lots do not meet the county’s lot depth-to-width ratio; staff recommended approval contingent on the exception. The applicant’s agent, Crystal Voth of Atlas Land Consulting, said the proposal responds to site constraints including a large pond and the existing driveway layout.
Why it matters: the replat would create two buildable lots using the existing driveway and cross-access easement. Approval of the exception was necessary for the subdivision to comply with local regulations governing lot proportions.
Commission action and next steps: The commission first voted to approve an exception from Article 50, Section 40.3.1 to allow the proposed lot proportions. The commission then moved to recommend approval of the plat to the Board of County Commissioners; the planning commission’s recommendation passed unanimously. The planning staff advised that the Board of County Commissioners will consider the request no earlier than July 23, 2025, at 9 a.m. in the Leavenworth County Courthouse.
Votes at a glance: Exception vote — unanimous; recommendation to board — unanimous. Roll-call recorded each commissioner voting yes.
