Buffalo County approves two administrative subdivisions, adopts Resolutions 2026‑26 and 2026‑27
Summary
At its June 9 meeting, the Buffalo County Board of Commissioners approved administrative subdivisions named Halkyard Subdivision and Schake Leary Acres after public hearings, adopting Resolutions 2026-26 and 2026-27; no members of the public spoke and both plats were found to meet county subdivision requirements.
The Buffalo County Board of Commissioners on June 9, 2026 approved two administrative subdivisions following brief public hearings and findings that both plats met county requirements.
Chairperson Sherry L. Morrow opened a public hearing at 9:17 a.m. for the Halkyard Subdivision, presented by licensed land surveyor Bryan Brown on behalf of several property owners. Zoning Administrator Dennise Daniels told the Board the proposed plat is located in the county’s Agriculture zoning district, that county-maintained Gibbon Road meets the county’s minimum width standards, and that a title search had been provided to and cleared by the County Attorney’s office. The Board moved to adopt Resolution 2026‑26, which records these findings and authorizes recordation of the plat. No members of the public addressed the Board during the hearing.
At 9:22 a.m. the Board opened a second hearing for an administrative subdivision to be known as "Schake Leary Acres," presented by licensed land surveyor Trenton Snow on behalf of Carol and Douglas Hoos, cotrustees of their revocable trust. The Board found the proposed plat met Section 3.02 of Buffalo County’s Subdivision Resolution, that Sartoria Road abuts the site and meets county width standards, and that title search paperwork had been provided and cleared. The Board adopted Resolution 2026‑27 and authorized the plat to be filed with the Register of Deeds. No public comments were received on this item.
Both resolutions include parcel identifiers and approximate remnant acreages recorded in the minutes: roughly 77 acres for the Halkyard remnant and roughly 153 acres for the Schake Leary Acres remnant. Votes on both resolutions were recorded as "Aye" from Commissioners Ivan Klein, Timothy Higgins, Myron Kouba, Ronald Loeffelholz, Bill Maendele and Chairperson Morrow; Commissioner Daniel Lynch was absent for the meeting.
The Board’s actions follow standard administrative-subdivision procedures in Buffalo County, which require review by the zoning administrator, verification of road standards, and a title search cleared for county interests before plat approval. The adopted resolutions direct county staff to file the plats with the Register of Deeds.
The Board recessed for equalization business after the zoning agenda and later returned to regular session. The minutes show the plats and resolutions were formally adopted and authorized for recording.
