Summary

A property owner presented a flag-lot concept and commissioners and the Town Council liaison recommended pursuing a development agreement to avoid forcing a public road through the property. The presenter expressed willingness to negotiate a development agreement.

During public comment on Oct. 23, citizen Matt McKay presented a concept plan for a parcel in Huntsville that would use flag lots to achieve needed frontage without a public road. Steve Starkes told the commission he “does not want a public road through the property.”

Town Council liaison Sandy Hunter proposed that the town and developer pursue a development agreement to address access and frontage requirements. McKay said he was agreeable to a development agreement and expected the property owner (Starkes) to be as well; the commission suggested staff and the council consider a DA as the next step.
