Butler County approves multiple plats, lot splits and easement dedications
Summary
The Board approved a series of plats, lot splits and easement dedications (PL 26‑14, PL 26‑15, PL 26‑11, PL 26‑12, PL 26‑13, PL 26‑19) after staff presentations and unanimous votes; approvals included Agricultural Preservation Overlay placements and road/right‑of‑way acceptances.
Community Development Director Toby Stewart presented a package of land‑use approvals covering residential lot splits, plats, and easement/road dedications across Butler County. The Board approved mortgage lot splits with Agricultural Preservation Overlays for Wiebe Family Farms (PL 26‑14) and the Thomas & Katherine Living Trust (PL 26‑15), both of which include ~10‑acre home lots and 70±‑acre APO areas. Commissioners also approved Bodecker Acres (PL 26‑11) road and right‑of‑way dedications, Cannady Corner Addition easements (PL 26‑12), Prairie Creek Estates II final plat (PL 26‑13) and accepted easements and recommended approval of the Arc Acres final plat to the City of Augusta (PL 26‑19). All plats received Planning Commission recommendations (typically 6-0) and passed the Board by 4-0 votes.
Approvals included site specifics provided by staff: the Wiebe parcel is a 157±‑acre AG‑80 tract with FEMA floodplain areas noted but not on the proposed building sites; Prairie Creek Estates II involves water‑line extensions and developer‑installed culverts and ditches; Arc Acres involves lot consolidations within Augusta's interlocal area and C‑3 zoning. Motions on these items were routine and carried unanimously at the May 26 meeting.
