County planning staff described a proposed preliminary and final plat for Georgetown Creekside Acres (District 3, off Eliza Jordan Road) and told commissioners the owners are attempting to correct an earlier, informal subdivision that was not properly recorded in 2021.

"The owners owned a piece of property, and they illegally subdivided a piece off the back of it several years ago in 2021," planning staff said. The staff explanation said the back portion was sold to a neighbor in 2021 and remains a separate parcel; the current request would legally subdivide the remaining front portion and add an ingress/egress easement to provide access to Eliza Jordan Road.

Planning staff cautioned that the proposed layout "violates the spirit of the subdivision regulations" and could lead to future problems if the neighbor who currently holds the back parcel sells the adjoining property, because that parcel would be landlocked without the easement. Commissioners said they did not want to create a recurring problem that would require future corrective action.

The conference meeting recorded the staff presentation and a commissioner exchange about the access implications; no final approval or vote was recorded at the conference meeting and the plat items remain on the agenda for formal consideration.
