Planning commission approves Double H Acres final plat on Rock Creek Terrace
Summary
The commission approved a final plat to split about 15 acres at 3770 Rock Creek Terrace into two lots (approximately 3.0 and 11.2 acres); staff said both lots meet subdivision standards, have existing access, and that roughly half of each lot lies in a Special Flood Hazard Area.
The Franklin County Planning Commission approved the final plat for Double H Acres (Final Plat Application #2602-0026) at its March 19 meeting, allowing an approximately 15-acre parcel at 3770 Rock Creek Terrace to be divided into two residential lots.
Staff said the commission previously approved rezoning for the property and that the County Commission approved the rezoning on March 4; the final plat creates Lot 2 with the existing residence (~3.00 acres) and Lot 1 (~11.20 acres). Staff reported both lots meet county subdivision requirements for size, frontage and length-to-width ratio, and that both lots have existing entrances to Rock Creek Terrace so no new drives are required. The staff report also noted approximately half of both lots lie within a Special Flood Hazard Area and that the applicant purchased an additional water meter from Rural Water District No. 6.
On a motion by B. Livingston, seconded by S. Hornbuckle, the commission voted 6-0 to approve the final plat. The plat had been handled as a "small subdivision" and therefore was eligible for a waiver of the preliminary plat under county rules.
The applicant must complete any required survey and recording steps before the County Treasurer and Register of Deeds accept the split for tax and title purposes.
