Planning Commission approves preliminary plat for Highlands at North Hill Eighth Edition with conditions
Summary
Commissioners recommended approval of a preliminary plat for Highlands at North Hill Eighth Edition, with conditions including compliance with an earlier development agreement, the proposed PUD plan amendment, a stormwater management plan, an infrastructure agreement, sewer connection fees of $3,787 per acre and required sidewalks.
May 6, 2025 — The Minot Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a major subdivision preliminary plat for Highlands at North Hill Eighth Edition, subject to several standard conditions.
City staff reported the application covers two large, unassigned lots and noted that an associated easement vacation previously proposed for three lots to the north has been withdrawn; the commission therefore considered only the preliminary plat for the two lots. Staff recommended adoption of their findings of fact and approval of the plat "as provided in Exhibit 3 with the following conditions," including: compliance with the previously approved development agreement, compliance with the proposed PUD plan amendment, compliance with the previously approved stormwater management plan, a required subdivision infrastructure plan and an infrastructure development agreement, sewer connection fees of $3,787 per acre, and installation of sidewalks.
No members of the public spoke for or against the preliminary plat during the public hearing. Commissioners discussed the application briefly and emphasized the value of maintaining pedestrian connections and required infrastructure conditions.
The Planning Commission voted to approve the preliminary plat and adopted staff findings of fact; the motion passed in roll call with 10 yes votes. The easement vacation that had been part of an earlier filing was explicitly withdrawn and was not part of the approved action.
Next steps: staff will prepare the recommendation for City Council, and the developer must complete the required infrastructure plans and agreements before final platting.
