Shiloh (Shallow) preliminary plat recommended; commissioners flag road and safety concerns
Summary
The commission recommended approval of Shiloh (Shallow) Estates, an 83.45‑acre agricultural subdivision with eight lots, conditional on noting residential principal use for the lots and on the submittal of a preliminary plat that meets Greene County zoning and subdivision regulations. Residents raised traffic and driveway safety concerns along Penfield Road.
Staff presented the preliminary plat for Shiloh (also referred to as Shallow) Estates (MLSD Properties) comprising 83.45 acres and eight lots ranging roughly 10.11 to 10.99 acres. Corey Durden, a principal with MLSD Properties, said Level 3 soil testing had been completed and submitted to Greene County; he also said the developer would include covenants establishing minimum dwelling square footage to preserve uniformity.
A resident who had inspected the site raised concerns about narrow road shoulders, a blind curve on Penfield Road and the potential safety impact of up to five new driveways in a 2,000‑foot stretch. Staff explained that driveway permits would be submitted to public works, which would assess sight lines and may limit the number of driveways or require mitigation (clearance, signage or road improvements). Commissioners noted the county’s future land use plan identifies the area as farmland and forestry character and that agricultural subdivision is compatible with that plan when setbacks and low‑impact uses are respected.
The commission voted to recommend approval of the Shiloh preliminary plat (TMP 084‑0‑00‑005‑B) with the stipulation that principal use of all proposed lots be residential and subject to submission of a preliminary plat meeting Greene County zoning and subdivision regulations for building and zoning review.
