BRENHAM PLANNING AND ZONING APPROVES PLAT REQUESTS FOR CENTURY HILLS SUBDIVISION

  

The Brenham Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously at its meeting Monday in favor of a pair of plat requests for land being considered for a new subdivision.

Commissioners approved the preliminary and final plat requests, presented by Rockies Creek Investments, LLC, for 19.9 acres of land to potentially be used to create the Century Hills subdivision. The land is located about a mile north of Linda Anderson Park, on the southeast corner of the intersection of Old Independence Road and Ike Lane.

The property, located within the city’s extra-territorial jurisdiction, would be divided into eight residential lots.

Included in the plats are a half-acre dedication for public right-of-way along Old Independence Road, a portion of the land at the Old Independence Road-Ike Lane intersection, and the land between Ike Lane and current fence line.

Officials associated with the subdivision were not able to provide a timeline for the project when asked for one.

Also at Monday’s meeting, commissioners approved a final plat request for Prairie Lea Cemetery to allow for cemetery expansion, as well as a final plat request for the Vintage Farms Townhomes, located on 13.7 acres on Highway 36 North near Dixie Road.

Commissioners opened up the meeting by thanking former commissioner Nancy Low for her service on the Commission. Low, who was not reappointed, is succeeded on the Commission by new appointment Catharyne Neil.

The Commission also voted to elect Keith Behrens as chairman, Dr. Deanna Alfred as vice chairman, Lynette Sheffield as secretary, and Calvin Kossie as deputy secretary for the Commission for 2020.
