Developer outlines drainage and well plans as Brother Ranch lots proposed to split into eight parcels
A public hearing held by the Wilson County Commissioners examined a proposed revision to the Brother Ranch subdivision that would convert two larger lots (identified in the application as lots 100 and 101) into eight parcels covering about 30.2 acres.

County and applicant representatives described engineering and public‑safety measures tied to the project. The applicant's engineer said the drainage plan had been revised to address previous concerns about the detention box, noting the detention box sizing was adjusted "to make sure none of the settlement would build up in the detention box" and that the county had reviewed and approved the changes. The engineer also said plans for water supply and a fire‑suppression inspection were approved by the fire marshal and that a performance bond had been submitted to ensure the improvements are completed.

The most immediate practical requirement discussed was water supply: a county official asked, "Each one of these 8 lots have to have their own water wells. Is that correct?" The engineer confirmed, "Correct," and added that some parcels would have two wells, with one dedicated to fire suppression. He said the existing well locations are shown on the submitted plans.

Neighbors and a commissioner raised legal and long‑term concerns. One participant asked whether original Hubbard Ranch covenants from 1956 would bar the new lot configuration; the engineer said staff had not found language in the current covenant restrictions that would prohibit the proposed subdivision. The record does not show a formal legal opinion on the covenant; the commission relied on staff review as recorded during the hearing.

The applicants characterized the lots as arriving in phases and one parcel as roughly 5 acres in size. The commission did not adopt detailed conditions in the hearing transcript; staff noted culvert and grading requirements for individual lots and will include technical conditions in the final plat review.

The commission proceeded without recorded further public objections in the transcript and moved on to related agenda items.
