Plan commission grants primary and secondary approval to LG Ranch minor subdivision

The DeKalb County Plan Commission on May 6 approved primary and secondary plat approval for petition 25-14, a one-lot minor subdivision called LG Ranch filed by Sarah and Richard Conroe. The proposed Lot 1 measures about 56.876 net acres, with proposed frontage of 787.61 feet on County Road 8; the parcel is zoned A-2 (agricultural).

Staff reviewed the plat and referenced required standards under the Unified Development Ordinance: minimum lot area (2 net acres), minimum width and frontage, and right-of-way dedication (30 feet of a 60-foot total right-of-way). The planning staff noted soil borings for a future house are located to the north/rear of the proposed lot and that access and driveway locations were reviewed and approved by the DeKalb County Highway Department. Private septic use was confirmed for the lot.

The zoning administrator read the jurisdictional findings, cited agency signoffs (Board of Health, County Highway Department, DeKalb County Soil and Water Conservation District, Drainage Board) and recommended approval with standard recorded and unrecorded conditions, including compliance with environmental and flood-hazard rules and submission of evidence of compliance before plat recordation. A motion to grant primary and secondary approval passed on a roll-call vote with commissioners recorded as voting Yes.

The plat was prepared by OnTheMark Land Surveying. Conditions related to drainage, agricultural covenants and required agency approvals must be satisfied before the plat can be recorded.
