Sandstone planning commission finds Basswood Court disposal compliant with Comprehensive Plan
Summary
The Planning Commission voted 5-0 on Feb. 11, 2026 to find that a proposed City sale of the Basswood Court property is consistent with Sandstone’s Comprehensive Plan after staff reported developer interest in building single‑family homes on the Traditional Residential‑zoned site.
The City of Sandstone Planning Commission on Feb. 11, 2026 voted unanimously to find that proposed city disposal of the Basswood Court property complies with the city’s Comprehensive Plan. Chair Randy Riley led the commission meeting, which began at 6:00 p.m., and the motion passed 5-0.
The commission heard that the city acquired the Basswood Court property from Realtor Tom Jensen in 2024 and that the parcel is currently platted into 12 lots. Commissioners were told a private developer has expressed interest in purchasing the property and constructing single‑family, owner‑occupied homes. The site is zoned Traditional Residential District.
Planning Commission members did not receive written public comments prior to the meeting. The commission’s finding is a legislative recommendation; any actual sale or disposition of the property would require subsequent City Council action and compliance with applicable sale procedures and ordinances.
Next steps: the commission’s finding will be transmitted to the City Council for consideration. No timetable for council review or a finalized purchase agreement was presented at the meeting.
