Planning commission recommends approval of Herrick subdivision at Rodeo Road

The North Platte City Planning Commission on Aug. 28 recommended preliminary and final approval of the Herrick subdivision (file SU25-021), a proposal to divide a single parcel at 4602 Rodeo Road into three lots and add access and frontage‑road easements.

Planning staff said the property has access to city sewer but that city water is not currently available. Staff reported no objection to the proposed subdivision and noted the property recently received a favorable recommendation for rezoning; final rezoning is pending before City Council.

During discussion commissioners clarified the location of an existing easement and why Lot 2 wraps around to secure long‑term access for the lots to the west. No members of the public were present for the item. A motion by Commissioner Jet, seconded by Commissioner Van Velsen, carried to recommend approval; the recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final action.

The commission’s recommendation was procedural: if the City Council approves the pending rezoning, the subdivision will proceed to the council as a related item. The staff packet noted the addition of an access easement to serve the three lots and that the applicants are Lewis and Diane Herrick.
