Final plat approved for Claassen Estates First Addition despite floodplain constraints
Summary
The Planning Commission approved PL 26-17, replatting to create two ~5-acre lots from Lot 4 in Claassen Estates; the new parcel is largely covered by FEMA-mapped floodplain and the plat prohibits residential structures on Lot 4 Tract B.
The Commission approved PL 26-17, the Claassen Estates First Addition Final Plat, which replats Lot 4 into two approximately 5-acre parcels on a 10.5-acre tract at 10701 SW 21st Terrace in Towanda.
Staff reported the parcel is inside the Urban Growth Area but contains significant FEMA-mapped floodplain and trees that will deter future development; the Plat explicitly indicates that no residential structure is to be built on Lot 4, Tract B. Owner representative Gerald Dixon of Goedecke Surveying attended and there were no questions. The motion to approve carried 5-0.
Because the parcel is partially in a FEMA floodplain, staff noted that any future building plans would need to address floodplain requirements and private wastewater/well service issues if development were later proposed.
