Council approves final plat for Rochelle/Stevens/Pierce addition after public discussion on access
Summary
After questions about road access and fire-apparatus standards, the town council unanimously approved the final plat for the Rochelle/Stevens/Pierce addition (approx. 7.876 acres). Staff said engineered gravel access that supports emergency vehicles will satisfy requirements.
The Copper Canyon Town Council voted unanimously on Dec. 8 to approve the final plat for the Rochelle, Stevens & Pierce addition, an approximately 7.876-acre subdivision.
During public comment, resident Graham Stevens (401 Woodland Drive) asked why a previously grandfathered road alignment would need to change for a new build; staff answered that lots lacking current access must be brought up to present standards and that a properly engineered gravel road able to support a fire truck can meet the town's access requirements for permitting. After addressing drainage-easement and access concerns, Councilmember Bridal moved to approve the final plat; the motion was seconded and passed 5-0.
The council asked the applicants and neighboring owners to work out the precise access alignment and then present a joint agreement showing how the road, drainage and easements would function before issuing building permits.
