Council advances ordinance to include plats of survey in two-mile review
Summary
The City of Mount Vernon recorded a first reading of Ordinance #4-6-2026A to clarify that plats of survey in the two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction must be subject to city review, a 'cleanup' change prompted by recent use of plats of survey for lot splits.
The Mount Vernon City Council on April 6 recorded the first reading of Ordinance #4-6-2026A to amend Chapter 166.03(C) and to clarify that the city’s two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction applies to plats of survey as well as subdivisions.
Mayor Thomas M. Wieseler said the ordinance is a cleanup item because landowners have increasingly used plats of survey to perform county lot splits that can have impacts similar to subdivision plats. The change is intended to preserve the city’s ability to review and comment on smaller lot-split actions in the two-mile area.
Council member Rose moved and Andresen seconded approval of the first reading; the council recorded a roll-call vote of all yes. The ordinance will return for subsequent readings and final adoption according to the city’s ordinance procedure.
Separately, the council also completed the second reading and approval of Ordinance #3-16-2026A related to the Spring Meadow Heights Urban Renewal Area (Phase 4 parcels). That ordinance passed on a roll-call vote during the same meeting.
