At its Jan. 6 meeting the Dickinson City Commission approved several community development items including a zoning map amendment and final plat for the Westridge fourth edition subdivision and small operational contracts for pavement management and asbestos abatement.

City Planner Natalie Burcheck described a rezone request (Ordinance 18‑45) to change Lot 1 of Block 6 in the Westridge Second Edition subdivision from General Commercial (GC) to Medium‑Density Residential (R‑2) to allow combining lots with adjacent properties; staff recommended approval contingent on related approvals. Commissioners voted to approve the rezone on second reading.

Burcheck then presented the Westridge fourth edition final minor subdivision (replat of multiple blocks totaling about 86.49 acres). Staff recommended approval contingent on earlier rezoning (REZ‑01‑2025 referenced); the commission approved the final plat (Resolution 01‑2026).

Engineering Director Skolacek presented a contract amendment with MDS Technologies to update Dickinson’s pavement management plan using the PAVER database and up to two hours consulting at an estimated $2,960; commissioners approved the amendment.

Code Enforcement Officer Tiffany Stewart reported asbestos was found in the property at 22 South 10th Avenue West. The city opened bids for asbestos abatement and received two; Integrity Environmental was the low bidder at $4,150. Commissioners accepted the low bid and authorized staff to proceed; landfill and disposal costs will be assessed to the property owner.
