Summary

At the Aug. 18 Planning & Zoning meeting, Josh and Jaszmin Ritchey proposed replatting about 5 acres at 1106 N. Windy Knoll Dr.; commissioners said the proposal is premature and asked the applicants to complete a plat survey and consult city staff before returning for formal review.

The Devine Planning & Zoning Commission on Aug. 18 heard a proposal from Josh and Jaszmin Ritchey to replat approximately 5 acres at 1106 N. Windy Knoll Dr. into a subdivision, but commissioners concluded the application was not yet ready for formal consideration and directed the applicants to complete a plat survey before returning.

Commission Chairman Doug Wilkins opened the meeting at 6:00 p.m. and confirmed a quorum. The Ritcheys presented the concept for subdividing their property and answered questions from commissioners about the scope of the parcel and next steps. The minutes state the property is “approximately 5 acres.”

After the presentation, commissioners noted the proposal lacked a completed plat survey and related materials required for Planning & Zoning review. The commission asked the Ritcheys to prepare a plat survey and to present the revised submission for review with City Planner/Permits staff, City Administrator David L. Jordan, City Attorney Tom Cate and City Secretary Michelle Martin before the item is placed on a future agenda.

No formal action on the replat was taken. The meeting record shows the commission treated the Ritcheys’ appearance as an introductory presentation rather than a docketed Planning & Zoning agenda item requiring a vote or formal approval.

Before adjourning, Commissioner Chuck Guzman moved to adjourn; Commissioner Jim Lawler seconded. The meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m. on a 6-0 vote, with Commissioner Onis Wiemers recorded as absent.

Next steps for the applicants listed in the minutes are to complete the plat survey and return with the required documentation for staff and legal review so the commission can consider the replat at a future meeting.
