Mineral Wells council approves Withers Estates preliminary plat dividing 6.611 acres into four lots
Summary
After a brief public hearing, the council approved a preliminary plat to subdivide 6.611 acres into four lots for Withers Estates in the city limits; staff noted portions of the site lie in a floodplain and driveways will likely face Withers Road.
The Mineral Wells City Council approved a preliminary plat for Withers Estates after a short public hearing and brief questions about access and floodplain exposure.
Presiding Officer opened the public hearing for a subdivision described as 6.611 acres out of the Southwest quarter of Section 26, dividing the parcel into four lots. Vincent Keis, who identified himself as the executor of the estate that owns the land, said he filed the application and would answer questions.
City staff described the proposal as a straightforward preliminary plat that divides the property into four lots. Council members asked whether driveways would face Withers Road or Millsap Highway; the presenter said driveways would likely face Withers Road. Council members also raised that portions of the property are in a floodplain and discussed how home sites could be elevated or sited outside the highest-risk portions.
A council member moved to approve the preliminary plat “as presented.” The motion was seconded, and the council voted to approve the plat 6–0.
The approval establishes the preliminary subdivision layout; subsequent steps will address final plat submittal, building siting and any required floodplain elevation or mitigation during later permitting.
Next steps: the applicant may proceed with final plat and development permitting, subject to any conditions imposed during the final plat review and standard building and floodplain regulations.
