Sarpy County approves growth-management exception allowing home with septic at 17801 Buffalo Road
Summary
The Sarpy County Board of Commissioners on April 15, 2025 approved Resolution 2025-573, granting a Growth Management Plan exception for 17801 Buffalo Road that allows a single‑family dwelling with a septic system and provides exemption from current sewer agency fees.
The Sarpy County Board of Commissioners on April 15, 2025 approved Resolution 2025-573, granting a Growth Management Plan exception for a 10.61‑acre property addressed as 17801 Buffalo Road to applicants Ryan M. and Jennifer A. Peterson.
Scott Bovic, deputy county administrator, told commissioners that the parcel is an active lot that was zoned before the Sarpy County Sewer Agency's growth management plan and fee schedule were adopted. Because of that status, the applicants are seeking an exception that would allow a single‑family dwelling on the parcel with a septic system and exempt the site from the sewer agency's fees. Bovic said the full fee is about $30,000 per acre or $5,700 per lot, and that the county coordinates these exception requests with sewer agency staff before forwarding them to the agency for action.
Commissioner Warren moved to approve the exception request and Commissioner Mixon seconded. The board voted to approve the request; Commissioner Kelly was recorded absent and the motion carried. Bovic and commissioners clarified during the discussion that if the property is subdivided in the future, any new parcels would be subject to then‑applicable planning, zoning and sewer agency regulations and fees.
The action will be forwarded to the Sarpy County Sewer Agency for their consideration at an upcoming meeting, as part of the interagency process described by staff.
