Applicant withdraws future‑land‑use request; commission approves Jolliffe Acres preliminary plat in Dickinson ETZ
Summary
An applicant withdrew a future land‑use map amendment and an associated rezoning request to agriculture in the Dickinson extraterritorial zone, then the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a preliminary major plat (PLP‑002‑2025) to replat lots into larger parcels for a single‑family residence and hobby farm.
The City of Dickinson Planning and Zoning Commission on May 14 accepted a withdrawal of a future land use map amendment and an associated rezoning request and approved a preliminary major subdivision plat, PLP‑002‑2025, for a 26.467‑acre property in the city's extraterritorial zone (ETZ).
Staff planner Natalie Burchek explained the future land use amendment application sought to change the subject property — described as Blocks 1 and 2 and Lots 1 through 4 of Blocks 3 and 4 of the Greenvale Third Edition subdivision — from residential to agricultural to allow a lower tax classification and preserve the land. Burchek said the surrounding future land use on the map is residential and that staff recommended denial because an agricultural designation is not present in that area.
Applicant Eric Joliff (spelled in the record as Eric Joliff), who told the commission he intends to own the property and keep it largely undeveloped except for a single family home and hobby farm, said he could accept remaining zoned rural residential (RR) and withdrew the future land use amendment and an associated rezoning request. Burchek confirmed the rezone (REZ‑003‑2025) would be withdrawn; the preliminary plat application (PLP‑002‑2025) would still be considered.
The commission opened a public hearing on the preliminary plat, and staff recommended approval. Burchek said the proposed Jolliffe Acres replat would combine smaller residential lots to construct a single family residence while preserving remaining land for a hobby farm. The commission voted to recommend approval of the preliminary major plat, finding it met Dickinson Municipal Code requirements and served the public health, safety and welfare.
The commission's recommendation will go to the City Commission for final action on the plat. The withdrawn future land use amendment and rezoning will not be considered further unless the applicant re‑files.
Votes at a glance: FLM‑001‑2025 — withdrawn by applicant; REZ‑003‑2025 — withdrawn by applicant; PLP‑002‑2025 Jolliffe Acres — recommend approval (voice vote; no recorded opposition).
