Town sets public hearing for annexation at 515 Martin Livestock Road; Massey subdivision sidewalk debate tabled
Summary
Staff found an annexation submittal for part of parcel 25 at 515 Martin Livestock Road met sufficiency requirements and the board set a public hearing for August (motion passed 4-0). The board discussed the Massey preliminary plat (R-1 zoning, ~28,000 sq ft lots), debated sidewalk placement and requested the developer's engineer return with clarifications; the item was tabled to staff.
Town staff reported that an annexation request for part of parcel 25 at 515 Martin Livestock Road had previously been held for a missing subdivision filing but that the certificate of sufficiency now meets statutory requirements except for the earlier subdivision paperwork. Staff recommended a resolution to set a public hearing in August; the board approved the motion, and the minutes record the action as passing 4-0.
Separately, staff presented preliminary plans for the Massey subdivision. The parcel was described as R-1 zoning with average lot sizes of about 28,000 square feet. Discussion centered on sidewalk requirements and placement: staff argued sidewalks support walkability and safety, while developers and engineers noted practical constraints including backslope placement, right-of-way limits, utility placements and potential road damage during construction. Board members asked staff to clarify the ordinance language on sidewalk placement and asked the developer's engineer to return with revised plans. The board agreed to table the Massey preliminary plat to the office and requested the engineer come back with the requested clarifications.
The annexation action moves that matter to a formal public hearing; the Massey item remains a staff-level follow-up until the engineer returns and the board receives clarified sidewalk plans.
