Keith County approves conditional use permit and two final plats for property near Paxton and Lake McConaughey
Summary
The board approved a conditional use permit allowing a second dwelling for employee housing on agricultural land near Paxton and approved two final plats (Lake McConaughey and Dunes First Minor Subdivision) reflecting existing roads, easements, and lot splits; planning commission recommended approval for each and no public opposition was recorded.
The Keith County Board of Commissioners approved multiple zoning items after staff presentation and planning-commission recommendation.
Zoning Administrator Cody Fenwick presented a conditional use request by John Holzfaster (Conditional Use Permit 25-9) to allow a second dwelling (a 2013 16-by-76 single-wide two-bedroom unit intended for an employee) on an agricultural quarter section approximately 6.15 miles southwest of Paxton. Fenwick said seven property owners within 300 feet were notified and the planning commission recommended approval at its Dec. 4 hearing. Commissioner Schroeder moved to approve the permit, the motion was seconded and adopted by roll call.
The board then considered two related final plats submitted by agent Harold Trepto on behalf of Michael Seeley (doing business as Lake McConaughey LLC). The first plat formalizes the existing road surface and dedicates road maintenance and utility easements near a Lakeview Road intersection; staff said the final plat reflects current ground conditions and the planning commission recommended approval. Commissioners discussed map details (well location, right-of-way alignment and a gate adjacent to a wellhead) before moving and approving the final plat and easement dedication.
The board also approved a final plat for the Dunes First Minor Subdivision, a request to create two lots (about 3.74 acres and 2.99 acres) plus an outlot, with 13 property owners notified and no public comments at the planning commission hearing. Commissioners approved the plat by voice and roll call.
Each decision followed the planning commission’s positive recommendation; there were no recorded public objections during the county meeting.
Next steps: recorded plats and easement dedications will be finalized by staff according to county procedures.
