Supervisors grant access easement for Cobblestone family subdivision
Summary
The board granted an access easement across a county‑owned paper street to permit a family subdivision on a 48‑acre parcel, with staff noting deed and plat review and no objections from planning.
The Board approved an access easement across a county‑owned paper street to allow the McKnight family to create two 16‑acre lots from a 48‑acre parcel for family members. Planning staff explained the request is to enable a family subdivision and that the deed and plat had been reviewed; the county attorney and staff found no objections based on the materials provided.
Supervisors asked whether alternate access through an existing driveway or other connection had been considered; the applicant answered that covenants and practical access limitations made the easement request necessary. The board approved the easement by motion and second.
The approval includes the limits of the access (50‑foot right‑of‑way based on existing mapping), and supervisors discussed whether changing the right‑of‑way width would require additional surveying at the applicant’s expense.
