PUBLIC HEARING, continued from June 23, 2020 meeting - A SUBDIVISION by the Leistico Estate at 21413 Nowthen Blvd
What this is about
Leistico Estate subdivision public hearing was carried over from the June 23, 2020 meeting.
The records I searched do not contain a prior meeting record matching this recollection. None of the search results reference the Leistico Estate, 21413 Nowthen Blvd, a June 23, 2020 public hearing, or a subdivision action tied to that property. Based on these results, I cannot confirm from the available records whether the Leistico Estate subdivision public hearing was continued from the June 23, 2020 meeting.
The property was approved for subdivision when it when up for sale.
— Liz Stockman
What this is about
Prior subdivision approval for the Greenwaldt property before the Carr's Tree Service CUP request.
The records show a prior minor subdivision approval that appears to match the recollection. In the March 10, 2026 packet, the Council resolution states: “City Council approves the Minor Subdivision” subject to conditions. Those conditions included proving the site is buildable before any building permit, verifying primary and secondary septic drainfield sites before the subdivision could be released for recording, meeting driveway standards, avoiding wetland impacts, and requiring written Council approval and platting for any future divisions by the same owner. The excerpt does not show the vote count. The February 24, 2026 packet shows the same subdivision was under review before that approval, with staff noting conditions related to engineering comments, wetland buffers, septic verification, driveway standards, and no future divisions without Council approval. The search results do not show the property’s sale status or specifically name Carr’s Tree Service in connection with that subdivision, but they do show a Council-approved minor subdivision before the later CUP discussion.
Industrial area was added in 2 areas along Hwy 22, and a Rural Residential Transition in the yellow area as discussed previously.
— Liz Stockman
What this is about
Prior discussion of Rural Residential Transition zoning shown in yellow on the zoning map amendment.
The records show this was discussed for the Rademacher/Viking Estates property. At the February 24, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Planner Cindy Nash explained that the applicant was seeking a comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning to change the western portion of the property from Commercial to Rural Residential Transition, so it would match the eastern portion already guided/zoned that way. The same materials describe the property as about 44.04 acres, with a proposed 14-lot single-family subdivision. The zoning concept plan included in the February 24 and March 10, 2026 packets shows approximately 33.76 acres as Rural Residential Transition and approximately 5.91 acres as Commercial near Highway 22/NCIS Blvd NW. The Planning Commission minutes record approval of the preliminary plat with an added condition on building/lot size compliance, carried 6-0, but the search excerpts do not show a separate formal vote on the comprehensive plan amendment or rezoning itself.
