Court approves final replat in Hidden Hills Harbor creating two lots; staff raised concerns about tiny lot usability
Summary
The court approved a final replat of Lots 300–305 in Section C of Hidden Hills Harbor to create Lots 300‑R and 305‑R for filing purposes only, despite staff comments that Lot 305‑R (0.07 acres) may be unusable for a residence given deed restrictions and septic/sewer considerations.
The Henderson County Commissioners Court approved the final replat of Lots 300 through 305 in Section C of Hidden Hills Harbor, consolidating six lots into two and creating Lots 300‑R and 305‑R for filing purposes only.
County staff (Mr. Strom) told the court that Lot 305‑R is shown as 0.07 acres on the submitted plat and that the affected property owner, the homeowners association and Tarrant Regional Water had signed off on the plat. Staff noted deed restrictions in the subdivision that limit residential uses (including a 900‑square‑foot residential restriction mentioned in the packet) and that any future detached buildings must be accessory to a principal residence.
Mr. Strom raised questions about whether a dwelling fitting the deed restrictions could be built on such a small lot and noted that central sewer is available in that area, which limits the county’s septic‑size authority. The court discussed that deed restrictions are private matters enforced by owners/HOAs and that Tarrant Regional’s sign‑off constrains the county’s ability to deny the plat on septic grounds.
Commissioner Tooley moved and Commissioner Richardson seconded approval of the final replat for filing purposes only; the motion passed unanimously.
