The Howard County Drainage Board accepted the Gibbs Estates subdivision plan and set a public hearing for Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 5:00 p.m. Brian Pierce of 40th Parallel Surveying said the one-lot subdivision covers 1.27 net acres and requested the Jan. 20 date because the Monday meeting would fall on a holiday.

Board members confirmed access points and discussed right-of-way notation on the plat. A motion to accept the plan was made by Mr. Byron and seconded by Mr. Hulery; the board approved the acceptance by voice vote and scheduled the public hearing for the Jan. 20 meeting at 5:00 p.m.

The public hearing date and acceptance move the subdivision toward public review and any ensuing permit steps required by county rules.
