Commission approves Lyon LLC plat, advances annexation and refers Norman Ranch matter to planning board
Summary
The commission approved the Lyon LLC final plat (Freedom Trail area), adopted PSO 2024-03 to add Black River for annexation purposes, and voted to send the Norman Ranch/Menacher Development exception request back to the planning and zoning board for further review.
The Somerset City Commission approved a development and handled several land-use matters at its Nov. 21 meeting, including final plat approval for a Lyon LLC housing project, adoption of an annexation ordinance and a referral of a separate developer exception request back to the planning and zoning board for additional review.
Planning staff (Speaker 5) presented the Lyon LLC preliminary/final plat for a residential subdivision off Freedom Trail. Staff said the developer must finish street and infrastructure improvements and address outstanding engineering review comments; after discussion the commission voted to approve the final plat. "They will have to do street improvement... they've had engineered drawings as well," Speaker 5 said, noting HDR had reviewed submitted plans and some comments remained to be addressed.
On annexation, staff presented PSO 2024-03, a proposed ordinance change to add Black River for annexation purposes. A commissioner moved to adopt the ordinance and the motion carried by voice vote.
Separately, the commission reviewed an exception request for Norman Ranch (Menacher Development). Staff and a commissioner said technical reviews and attorney correspondence remain outstanding, and the commission voted to refer that matter back to planning and zoning so the planning board can consider the issues at its next meeting.
Next steps: Planning staff will monitor infrastructure completion and return required items to the commission after planning and zoning actions and engineering comments are addressed. The Norman Ranch item will be reconsidered by planning and zoning before returning to the commission.
