Collin County court approves replat of Bourne Ranch lots that straddle Collin, Hunt counties
Summary
The Collin County Commissioners Court approved a replat of Lots 2 and 3 of the Bourne Ranch to create four 1-acre lots. The property crosses into Hunt County, which will handle septic review; the court voted 5-0 after a public hearing with no speakers.
Collin County Commissioners Court on Oct. 27 approved a replat of Lots 2 and 3 of the Bourne Ranch to subdivide the parcels into four 1-acre lots, after holding a public hearing that drew no public speakers. The measure passed unanimously, 5-0.
The vote follows a presentation by Clarence Daugherty, Collin County director of engineering, who said the owners of the Morton Ranch development requested the replat to subdivide the two existing lots into four one‑acre parcels. "We have a proposal or a request from the owners of the Morton Ranch development... to subdivide the lots into 4 lots that are 1 acre each," Daugherty told the court during the public hearing.
The proposed replat crosses the county line: Daugherty said about three‑quarters of the new lots lie in Hunt County, and Collin County has yielded review of septic systems and related matters to Hunt County. "One thing that's unusual about this is it is in both Collin and Hunt Counties. So, both counties will act on this," he said. The court closed the public hearing after no members of the public requested to speak.
A court member asked for clarification about how the existing Lots 2 and 3 are configured and requested the map be made clearer on the meeting display; Daugherty acknowledged the map's print was small but pointed out the four new one‑acre lots on the plan. No substantive changes were made in court. A motion to approve the replat was made and seconded, and the court voted 5-0 to adopt the replat.
Because the parcel straddles two counties, final administrative approvals and inspections for septic systems and other matters will proceed with Hunt County's lead on those items; Collin County's approval completes its local step. The court did not receive any public comment opposing the replat at the hearing.
The decision is procedural approval of the replat; both counties must complete their respective administrative steps for the subdivision to be fully processed.
