Loading...
Summary
The Morton County Commission on Aug. 10 approved final plats for Ferderer, Bosch and Mattanna Homestead subdivisions and approved Honey Hills Estates First and Second with HOA, stormwater and buffer conditions; all motions passed unanimously.
The Morton County Commission approved several subdivision final plats and related zoning amendments at its Aug. 10 meeting, placing conditions on two long-form Honey Hills Estates plats to address homeowners association formation, stormwater management and buffers along State Highway 1806.
Commissioner Buckley moved and Commissioner Morrell seconded approval of the short-form Ferderer Subdivision final plat and an associated zoning map amendment; the commission found the proposal conforms to Article 7 of the Morton County Land Use Code and the land-use priorities of the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. The motion carried with all voting aye.
Commissioner Morrell moved and Commissioner Buckley seconded approval of short-form final plats for the Bosch Subdivision and the Mattanna Homestead Subdivision, each determined to conform to Article 7 of the county code and the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. Both motions passed unanimously.
For Honey Hills Estates First, the commission approved a long-form final plat and zoning changes (Agricultural to Commercial for Lot 1, Block 1; Agricultural to Residential for remaining lots) subject to three conditions: the developer must formally establish a homeowners association (incorporate the nonprofit, form a board and adopt bylaws) prior to recording; the developer or its agent must work with county staff to include a stormwater-management facilities schedule in the HOA bylaws to the satisfaction of the County Engineer before recording; and a planted, maintained vegetative buffer must be installed on each lot bordering State Highway 1806 before approaches are permitted. Commissioner Buckley moved and Commissioner Morrell seconded the approval; the vote was unanimous.
Honey Hills Estates Second was approved as a long-form final plat with a zoning map amendment to Residential, with the same HOA and stormwater requirements (incorporation of an HOA and inclusion of a stormwater-management schedule acceptable to the County Engineer before recording). The commission noted the subdivision continues an established pattern of residential development along the Highway 1806 corridor north of the Mandan ETA and that the proposal does not violate policy 1.1.2(g) of the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Morrell moved and Commissioner Buckley seconded; all commissioners voted aye.
The approvals were routine final-plat actions; no public testimony or additional conditions beyond those listed were recorded in the minutes. The commission handled the motions as listed in the meeting record and adopted the plats and zoning amendments accordingly.
