Dallas County approves final plat for Hanging Rock Estates subdivision
Summary
The board approved the final plat of Hanging Rock Estates, a three‑lot minor subdivision in Union Township that ties outlots containing floodplain to buildable lots and preserves floodplain as non‑buildable outlots.
The Dallas County Board of Supervisors reviewed and approved the final plat of Hanging Rock Estates on March 31, accepting the Planning & Development recommendation to allow a three‑lot minor subdivision in Union Township.
Planning staff reported that the roughly 40.9‑acre property will be divided into three buildable lots with accompanying outlots that contain floodplain and are designated non‑buildable. The staff memo notes that the outlots (1A, 2A and 3A) preserve the floodplain area and will be tied to their respective lots so they may not be sold separately. The report also records that Secondary Roads approved the shown access locations and that Environmental Health indicated lot sizes should allow for on‑site septic design when required.
The final plat and surveyor’s notes describe building setbacks (50‑foot front/rear; 25‑foot sideyards), clarify that private septic systems are required and warn that a floodplain permit may be required before construction. Planning staff recommended approval and asked the board to adopt the resolution approving the final plat; the resolution was prepared for the board’s signatures and auditor attestation.
The Planning & Development packet, included in the meeting materials, contains the full survey, legal descriptions, outlot tie language and supporting exhibits.
