Bluff Strokes Final Plat Approved with Setback Waivers

The commission reviewed and approved the final plat of Bluff Strokes, a minor subdivision at 391 West 12th Street. The proposal involves subdividing an existing lot into two: Lot 1 retaining the existing home and Lot 2, which housed the Bluff Strokes Art Center, to be sold separately. Lot A, a portion of the property, will be dedicated to the city for right-of-way purposes to clean up existing land ownership under the street. The approval included waivers for minimum lot size and front setbacks for Lot 1, and front and side setbacks and lot coverage for Lot 2. An existing 10-ft private sanitary easement across Lot 1 for Lot 2 was also clarified. The matter was approved to move forward to the city council.

Bucks Run Subdivision Final Plat Recommended for Approval

The commission reviewed and recommended approval for the final plat of Bucks Run subdivision, located within the city's two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction. This involves subdividing existing land into four lots. Bucks Run Lane will be a private lane providing access to Lots 2 and 3, with a 10-ft private utility easement. Waivers for minimum lot frontage were required for Lots 2 and 3, as they do not have direct frontage on White Top Road. Lot 1 and Lot 4 will have frontage. The item was approved to proceed to the city council.
