County approves rezoning, preliminary plat for Rio Lake Homestead to create single residential lot
Summary
Sarpy County approved a rezoning (AG to RE2) and a preliminary plat to create a 3.721-acre lot around an existing residence at Rio Lake Homestead; staff removed a previously recommended environmentally sensitive-area condition after an engineer's evaluation.
The Sarpy County Board approved Resolution 232 to rezone a portion of the Rio Lake parcel from AG (agricultural) to RE2 (residential estates) and separately approved the preliminary plat to create a single 3.721-acre lot around the existing house. "Based on the size of the lot, the applicant is proposing to reszone the new lot from AG agricultural farming district uh to RE2 residential estates," planning director Robert Laroko told commissioners during the public hearing, then explained that staff removed a prior condition requiring designation of a protected outlot after reviewing a registered professional engineer's evaluation.
Randy Kush, civil engineer representing the applicant, said the plat is intended for estate planning to ease a future trust transfer and that no new structures are proposed. The board closed the public hearing and approved both the rezoning and the preliminary plat without re-imposing the protected-outlot condition; Laroko reiterated that the site is partially in the floodplain and that any future development would have to follow Sarpy County floodplain development rules.
