Scott County board approves several ordinance readings and final plat for Baltic property
Summary
During its Oct. 9 meeting the board approved the second reading of traffic- and zoning-related ordinances and voted to approve the final plat for the Baltic property after debate about preserving farmland.
The Scott County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 9 approved multiple ordinance actions and a final plat resolution.
The board moved and approved the second of three readings to amend Chapter 13 of the county code to convert the 210th Jersey Ridge Road intersection to an 'always stop.' The board also approved the second of three readings to lower the posted speed limit on a section of 210th between Scott Park and Crow Creek Bridge to 45 miles per hour.
On zoning, supervisors advanced to a second reading amendments to Chapter 6 related to minimum lot-size requirements for residential properties. Planning staff (Greg) confirmed that the county’s nonconforming-use rules would preserve previously compliant single-family lots, saying such lots "would" be grandfathered and that the ordinance contains carve-outs to preserve single-family development rights.
The board then considered a resolution to approve the final plat for the Baltic property. Supervisor 4 expressed concern that approving plats like this contributes to "urban creep" and urged the board to prioritize farmland preservation. After discussion the board conducted a roll-call vote and approved the Baltic final plat.
What this means: The ordinance amendments will move forward through the remaining required readings before final adoption; the Baltic property final plat was approved and will proceed according to county land-use procedures.
