Riley County commissioners approve rezoning, final plat for Western Shore Acres subdivision
Summary
The Riley County Commission voted unanimously June 26 to rezone two lots in Western Shore Acres from SF-3 to SF-1 and to acknowledge the subdivision's final plat, clearing the way for a two-lot replat and construction of a small cabin site.
Riley County commissioners on June 26 signed Resolution 062625 to rezone Lots 26 and 27 of Block 10 in Western Shore Acres from SF-3 (single-family residential) to SF-1 and acknowledged the approved final plat for Western Shore Acres Subdivision Unit 4.
County planning staff described the request as a replat combining portions of Lots 26 and 27 with part of Lot 4, Golden Shores Addition, to create a two-lot subdivision with each lot about two acres so each lot can be served by a well and on-site wastewater. Staff said the change would align the zoning of Lots 26 and 27 with Lot 4 and found the request consistent with the county comprehensive plan.
During brief public questioning a commissioner asked about wastewater for the smaller cabin lot. Planning staff said the applicant plans an alternative on-site wastewater system known as an Elgin, which the county's environmental health staff can advise on. Staff also noted utility easements along the east and south boundaries that will be vacated as part of the platting.
The commission moved, seconded and voted "Aye" to sign the rezoning resolution and to acknowledge the final plat. Commissioners pre-signed the Mylar plat sheet during the meeting.
The planning board forwarded a favorable recommendation on June 9. County staff advised that Raleigh County Fire District No. 1 will continue to serve the site and that the nearest county fire station is the University Park station on Redwood Drive until a new station opens nearby.
The decision allows the applicant to proceed with the county's platting and permitting process for the two new lots; no construction permits were issued at the meeting.
Questions about on-site wastewater, permitting details and utility easement vacations were addressed at the meeting and staff directed interested parties to contact environmental health for technical requirements.
