Commissioners approve replat of Bourne Ranch lots that cross Collin and Hunt counties

Collin County Commissioners on an unspecified date approved a replat of Lots 2 and 3 of the Bourne Ranch to create four one-acre lots, a proposal that spans the Collin–Hunt county boundary and will be acted on by both counties.

The replat request, presented by Clarence Daugherty, Director of Engineering, would subdivide the two existing lots into four one-acre parcels. Daugherty told the court that roughly three-quarters of the new lots lie in Hunt County, which will handle septic-system review and related inspections. "It's in both Collin and Hunt Counties. So, both counties will act on this," Daugherty said during the public hearing.

A public hearing was opened; no members of the public spoke. Commissioners asked for clarification about how the current Lots 2 and 3 were configured on the plat. Daugherty and staff displayed a plan sheet; one commissioner noted the plan's print was small and asked staff to make the configuration clearer in the record. After brief discussion, a commissioner moved approval and the court approved the replat by a 5–0 vote.

Because portions of the property fall in Hunt County, staff said Hunt County will conduct septic reviews and other health-related inspections; Collin County retained approval authority from its perspective but yielded septic review to Hunt County for the parcels largely in that jurisdiction. The court recorded no public opposition at the hearing.

The court carried the motion, 5 to 0. No further conditions or amendments were recorded in the minutes.

For reference, the replat request was described as a subdivision of Lots 2 and 3 of the Bourne Ranch (Morton Ranch development) into four lots of approximately one acre each. The record did not specify any additional infrastructure work, road dedications or required easements beyond what appears on the filed plat.
