Williston approves Corner Post final plat and vacates unopened alley for church site
Summary
The City Commission approved the Corner Post Addition final plat and a short‑plat/vacation of a 20‑foot unopened alley to merge parcels for the Wegley Green Acres subdivision (Bakken Baptist Church site); fire reviewed access and supported the proposed access plan.
Lisa Weidner, staff planner, presented two land‑use items on May 27. First she asked the Commission to approve the final plat for the Corner Post Addition (a rearrangement of lots in Bennett Industrial Park Third Addition). The Planning and Zoning Commission had approved the final plat at its May 19 meeting; the City Commission voted 4‑0 to approve the final plat and associated development agreement.
Weidner then presented a short‑plat application and request to vacate a 20‑foot unopened alley to merge two parcels into a single 1.2‑acre lot for the Bakken Baptist Church site (Wegley Green Acres Subdivision). Weidner explained the alley is unopened and has not been used for access; Fire staff confirmed that the unopened alley would not provide adequate access today but that the proposed site plan provided acceptable access. The plat and right‑of‑way vacation were approved by motion (Siemieniewski/Bervig) and recorded 4‑0.
The minutes record the specific legal descriptions used for the plats (including Section 19, T154N, R101W for Corner Post and NW1/4, Section 12, T154N, R101W for Wegley Green Acres) and note that some grading (a 3:1 slope along the driveway edge) will be required to meet the stormwater and site‑grading plan. The record does not list a bond or financial guarantee amount for future right‑of‑way improvements should the alley be opened later.
