Todd County approves two preliminary plats and a rezoning, with conditions to protect access and drainage
Summary
The Board adopted Planning Commission findings and approved the Prairie Country Estates and Lakeside Bluffs preliminary plats and granted a rezoning to Shoreland-NE for parcel 18-0040001; approvals include conditions on road access approvals and a 50-foot drainage easement to protect Long Lake.
The Todd County Board on June 16 adopted the Planning Commission—indings and approved multiple land-use actions including: the Prairie Country Estates preliminary plat (parcel 18-0015300) with conditions that new accesses from the county road require road authority approval and compliance with federal, state and local standards; rezoning parcel 18-0040001 from Shoreland - NE and Commercial to entirely Shoreland - NE with no conditions; and the Lakeside Bluffs preliminary plat (parcel 06-0031100) with conditions including township approval for new accesses and establishment of a 50-foot drainage easement across lot 2 to be maintained in deep-rooted native vegetation to protect Long Lake.
Each action was moved and seconded and adopted by unanimous vote per the minutes. Conditions attached to plats emphasize access approval by the appropriate road authority or township and environmental protections (drainage easement and native vegetation) to safeguard water quality in Long Lake.
The approvals are framed as adoption of Planning Commission findings; applicants are responsible for securing required approvals and abiding by all applicable federal, state and local standards before final platting or installation of accesses. The Board recorded that applicants must obtain proper permits and approvals; the minutes do not list specific applicant names beyond parcel identifiers.
Next steps for applicants include applying for road access permits where required, finalizing proposed drainage easements and meeting any engineering or environmental requirements imposed by county staff or the road authority.
