Commission recommends approval for water well permit to support cattle at Misty Wood Drive
Summary
The commission approved a specific‑use permit allowing a water well on a 4.95‑acre portion of a larger tract to provide water for livestock, noting the Prairie Land Groundwater Conservation District already approved the permit and that the house on the property remains connected to city water.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5–0 to approve a specific‑use permit for a water well on a 4.95‑acre portion of a 42.185‑acre property at 1625 Misty Wood Drive. Assistant Director Miriam Spencer told the commission that the Prairie Land Groundwater Conservation District had approved the permit and that the well would supply water for cattle only; the residence is served by Midlothian city water.
Staff said the tract is distant from neighboring residences, notices were mailed to property owners within 200 feet, and no correspondence opposing the project was received. The commission closed the public hearing and approved the permit unanimously.
