Board approves final plat for Poor Minor Subdivision and related conditional-use for additional dwelling
Summary
The board approved a final plat creating a 3.01-acre lot for Luke and John Poor after determining existing railroad-right-of-way access is the feasible route; the related conditional-use permit (CUP 24-15) for an additional dwelling in the quarter section was also approved.
During the Nov. 13 meeting the Keith County Board of Commissioners considered a final plat and a linked conditional-use permit affecting property southwest of Roscoe.
Dave Melcher, acting as agent for landowners Luke and John Poore, presented a final plat to create a 3.01-acre lot (J and L Poor Minor Subdivision) from a larger tract in the west half of the quarter section. Staff noted the parcel lies in a flood plain and that five property owners within 300 feet had been notified. The planning commission had recommended denial based on a reading of subdivision regulations that require lots be platted on existing streets or roads.
Commissioners discussed access, including an existing crossing through railroad right-of-way and an agreement the landowner reported having reached with the railroad addressing maintenance. Commissioners concluded the access situation could meet regulatory intent for an existing road (applicant had improved the route), and the board voted to approve the final plat by roll call.
The board then considered conditional-use permit 24-15 for an additional dwelling on the newly platted lot. The county noted the owner had obtained a floodplain permit to build; after brief discussion the board approved CUP 24-15 by unanimous roll call.
What’s next: Administrative staff will follow up on building permits and standard floodplain permit compliance before any building activity.
