Stockbridge planners flag right-of-way width inconsistencies, call for updated engineering standards
Summary
Commissioners discussed discrepancies between current zoning references to 60–66-foot rights-of-way, county GIS/plat records, and older road designs; they asked staff to clarify standards and update engineering references before a future meeting.
The Planning Commission raised concerns on Aug. 7 about inconsistencies in rights-of-way and street-width references in the zoning ordinance. Commissioners noted references to minimum widths of 60 to 66 feet and highlighted mismatches with county GIS records and recorded plats, as well as designs for older roads.
Discussion emphasized the need for clearer ordinance language and updated engineering standards to reconcile recorded plats, county data, and local development rules. Commissioners did not resolve the issue at the Aug. 7 meeting and directed staff to prepare clarifying language and engineering guidance for future review.
Next steps: staff and the municipal consultant will prepare draft language to clarify rights-of-way requirements and alignment with county records; no formal action was taken at the meeting.
