The Angleton Planning and Zoning Commission on June 5, 2025, recommended forwarding the preliminary plat for Ashland Development Section 8 to City Council after staff and the city engineer cleared textual comments.

The plat covers approximately 26.11 acres and proposes 86 lots; staff said the majority of lots will be 55 feet wide by 120 feet deep and that four drainage/landscape reserves are included in the design. The commission's recommendation moves the plat closer to final approval and construction, pending referral-agency reviews.

Mr. Spriggs presented the Section 8 preliminary plat and said it contains 86 lots on 26.11 acres with four drainage and landscape reserves. He reported the city engineer issued 10 textual comments; the applicant submitted responses and the engineer cleared those comments. "This particular plat is on 26.11 acres, 86 lots," Spriggs said, and staff recommended forwarding the plat to City Council subject to referral-agency approval.

Commissioner Clark moved to approve the Ashland Section 8 preliminary plat subject to referral-agency approval and forward it to council; Commissioner Aston seconded. The commission voted in favor and the chair announced the motion carried.

The approval is preliminary; the record notes it is subject to final engineering review and any referral-agency conditions before final platting and construction begins.
