Planning board approves a series of minor subdivisions and replats and reaffirms large‑scale fee

At its Dec. 4 meeting, the Washington County Planning Board approved a set of land‑division requests — including minor subdivisions and replats — and reapproved a corrected large‑scale development fee.

Medina Minor Subdivision: Planning staff described a split of an 8.81‑acre parent tract into three tracts of 1.77, 3.72 and 2.85 acres. Kyle Rogers of SWOOP Consulting confirmed access easements and that Tract 1 contains an existing house. The board approved the Medina minor subdivision subject to staff conditions.

Wilderness Run (Tract 4) Replat: Staff presented a replat of Tract 4 (parent 52.95 acres) into Tract 4A (9.99 acres) and Tract 4B (42.46 acres). Applicant Alan Treadwell said owners marketed the property and interested buyers sought smaller parcels. The board voted to approve the replat as presented.

Wilderness Run (Tract 1) Replat: Staff presented a replat of Tract 1 (parent 84.69 acres) into 39.58 and 45.11‑acre parcels; Treadwell said an adjoining owner planned to purchase the tract, enlarging that owner’s holding. The replat was approved by the board.

Sonora Minor Subdivision: A 5.08‑acre parent tract will split into two equal 2.54‑acre lots. Alan Reid, representing Knoll Custom Homes, said the applicant agreed to meet staff conditions; the board approved the subdivision.

Fee schedule correction: The board corrected an earlier error and reapproved the large‑scale development fee at $500 (the fee remains unchanged from previous practice). The board reapproved the corrected fee schedule by voice vote.

Each of the items passed by voice vote with motions and seconds recorded; no opposition was recorded in the hearing transcript. Approvals are subject to the planning staff conditions listed in each item's packet.
