Planning and Zoning Commission approves replat to combine two lots in Barracks Ranch (Freeport ETJ)

The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve a replat that combines Lots 43 and 44, Block 4, Section 5 of the Barracks Ranch Subdivision into a single residential lot. The replat is recorded in the Brazoria County plat records (Vol. 16, pp. 195–198) in the Asa Mitra survey, Abstract 97.

City planning staff summarized the request, saying, “The owner is requesting to combine Lots 43 and 44 of Block 4 out of the Bar X Ranch subdivision, section 5, into 1 lot. This lot is zoned for residential. Staff recommendation is to approve the replat, and the special consideration is is that the property is located in the city of Freeport's ETJ.” That summary was presented during the open public hearing; no members of the public spoke in opposition or support.

A motion to approve the replat was made on the floor and recorded in the minutes as "Motion made by mister Sakamoto, seconded by mister Hayes." The commission recorded aye votes and approved the motion. The hearing was closed at 06:01 and the meeting adjourned at about 06:02.

Because the property lies within the City of Freeport’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, the commission noted the location of the tract but took action consistent with the staff recommendation. The transcript does not specify the calendar date of this meeting; times shown in the record run approximately from 05:59 to 06:02.

The commission did not identify any conditions or amendments to the replat on the record and did not list additional follow-up tasks during the session.
