The East Consolidated Zoning Board on Dec. 3 approved a revised final plat for Lot 2 of Trinity Place, a roughly 10-acre parcel at the northeast corner of 207th Street and Plum Road, clearing the way for the owner to locate a new detached accessory structure where a Natural Drainage Area (NDA) is currently platted.

Diane Wickland of the county planning department told the board the action would replace the NDAs on the recorded plat with the county’s updated stream buffer zones and that the revision "is in conformance with the current county standards." She said staff reviewed minimum infrastructure requirements and found the revised plat consistent with the previously approved preliminary plat and county storm drainage standards. Staff recommended approval "subject to the stipulations shown on page 5 of the report."

Board members discussed the site briefly; several members said they had driven the area and found the proposal consistent with the rural (RUR) zoning. Rod Richardson moved to approve application E25-521FP (revised final plat, Trinity Place second plat) "subject to the stipulations recommended by staff and for the reason set forth in the staff report," and Scott Ballantyne seconded. The board voted unanimously to approve the motion.

Wickland said the approved plat will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 8 at 9:30 a.m. in the Board Hearing Room at 111 South Cherry Administration Building; staff expects the item to be placed on the BOCC consent agenda. The staff report and associated stipulations remain the governing record; the board’s approval was a recommendation to the county commission.

The applicant and engineer for the filing were identified as Payne and Brockway and the lot owner as the Timothy and Nova Hanks Living Trust. The revised plat does not alter the approved lot configuration but removes the NDA platted on Lot 2 in favor of the county’s stream buffer zone requirements.

The board did not record any public testimony on this item and no appeals were filed at the meeting. The Board of County Commissioners will take final action on the revised plat at the Jan. 8 meeting.
