Commission hears final plat for four-lot subdivision on Mount Vernon Road; hydrant installation required before recording
Summary
Planning staff presented a final plat to divide a 17.4-acre parcel on Mount Vernon Road into four residential lots; staff said conditions are met but recording is contingent on proof the proposed fire hydrant has been installed. No final vote on the plat is recorded in the transcript.
Sumner County Planning staff presented a final plat Dec. 16 for a 17.4-acre parcel along Mount Vernon Road in Bethpage that would be divided into four residential lots and approximately five additional acres.
The staff report identified the property owners as James and Virginia Perry and the surveyor as Richard Graves. Staff told commissioners that public water is available from Castine Springs and that the preliminary plat previously approved has been superseded by this final plat. Staff said road standards, including the collector classification for Mount Vernon and a 150-foot road-width requirement, have been met and that no new streets are proposed.
Staff summarized findings of fact stating the application is consistent with the county's subdivision and zoning regulations and does not create adverse effects for neighboring properties. The report included a condition required before the plat may be recorded: "proof of installation of the proposed fire hydrant must be provided to the planning department," after which the plat may be signed and recorded and the lots sold.
Commissioners asked technical questions about narrow lot segments and whether such conditions would require a major-subdivision process; staff responded that this qualifies as a major subdivision and that applicable standards would apply. No members of the public spoke against the project during the portion of the meeting captured in the transcript.
The staff packet included three example motions: to approve the final plat with staff comments and contingent upon proof of hydrant installation; to deny the final plat specifying which regulation was not met; or to defer the item for additional information. The transcript does not record a formal vote on the final plat in the excerpt provided.
The commission proceeded to other agenda items after the presentation; next procedural steps for the plat — including any motion, vote tally, or recording date — were not recorded in the provided transcript.
