Board approves Sugar Creek Acres Plat 4 with shared-access condition, conditions drainage-easement vacation on recording
Summary
The Board approved the two-lot Sugar Creek Acres Plat 4 with a requirement that parties enter a shared access and maintenance agreement; it also adopted a companion resolution vacating a prior drainage easement conditional on recording the new plat.
The Dallas County Board of Supervisors approved the final plat for Sugar Creek Acres Plat 4 on a motion that added a requirement for a shared access and maintenance agreement among landowners.
Planning staff found the two-lot subdivision met applicable standards in Chapters 40, 42 and 45. County planner David Hockett reported three public comments raising concerns about bridge integrity, construction-equipment weight and additional access to a private street; Hockett said he discussed those concerns with the applicant’s attorney. Brian Loya, counsel for the applicant, stated the proposed subdivision is consistent with the existing easement and that the applicant intends to reach a new agreement with neighboring property owners.
Owner Brandon Balekos told the board he plans to join a maintenance agreement. After closing the public hearing, the board amended Resolution 2026-0085 to add the explicit requirement that “the parties shall enter into a shared access and maintenance agreement” among landowners and approved the final plat as amended.
Separately, the board adopted Resolution 2026-0086 to vacate a drainage easement on Lot 1 of the original Sugar Creek Acres plat, but made the vacation effective only upon approval and recording of Sugar Creek Acres Plat 4. The resolution states that if the replat is not approved and recorded, the drainage easement remains in force. Both resolutions passed by unanimous vote.
