Jefferson County Plan Commission unanimously approves three‑lot subdivision on 30‑acre parcel
Summary
At its April 7 meeting in Madison, the Jefferson County Plan Commission voted unanimously to approve a primary and final plat to divide a 30‑acre parcel into three 10‑acre lots; commissioners noted sewer concerns raised during the public hearing and confirmed no internal roads are required under the county UDO.
The Jefferson County Plan Commission voted unanimously April 7 to approve both a primary and final plat that divide a 30‑acre parcel into three 10‑acre lots following a public hearing at the Jefferson County Surveyor’s Office in Madison.
Commission President Warren Auxier opened discussion after the public hearing and asked commissioners for their views. Commissioner Larry Wynn said the subdivision complied with the county’s Unified Development Ordinance and survey requirements but warned that community concerns raised at the hearing — notably local sewer-system issues — fall outside the Plan Commission’s jurisdiction. Commissioner David Bramer said the Rykers Ridge Sewer Company recently received a grant to repair and upgrade lift stations, an update he offered in response to sewer-related concerns. Commissioner David Ferguson said he agreed the plat met UDO standards and advised residents who see ponding or water‑retention issues to contact the County Highway Department for assistance.
Commissioner Larry Wynn moved to approve the Subdivision Primary Plat to split the 30‑acre parcel into three 10‑acre lots; Commissioner David Bramer seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Warren Auxier, David Bramer, David Ferguson, Jenny Beverly and Larry Wynn voted yes. The motion passed unanimously.
Because each proposed lot is 10 acres or larger, Auxier said the county UDO does not require internal roads or additional construction plans for final‑plat consideration. The commission proceeded to a final‑plat vote. Commissioner David Ferguson moved to approve the Final Plat; Commissioner Larry Wynn seconded. A unanimous roll call approved the Final Plat.
Auxier confirmed that lot marker pins were placed, the survey met UDO requirements and that checkpoint agencies were contacted and provided feedback. The commission did not record any conditions on the approvals in the minutes. The file shows the next typical step would be construction plans if required, but none are necessary here due to the lot sizes.
The meeting also included routine business: the commission approved prior minutes from Jan. 6, 2026, and Auxier announced that the board’s vacant seat had been filled by Tammy Sedam. The meeting adjourned by unanimous motion.
