Scott County Planning Commission July 13th, 2026

The Scott County Planning Commission met on July 13, 2026, to consider several land use and development matters. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a variance request to expand a legal non-conforming residential structure by over 50%, driven by the applicants' need for additional space due to family growth. The commission also reviewed and approved a rezoning and preliminary plat for a 65-acre residential development called Meadow Oaks, involving 14 lots with associated infrastructure plans including stormwater management and conservation easements. Additionally, a conditional use permit was approved for establishing a private airport with a turf runway and hangar for small aircraft, subject to state licensing and FAA registration. The meeting included updates on recent county board approvals of conditional use permits and plats, with no new floodplain permits required. Motions to approve these items were passed unanimously, reflecting coordination among county staff, township boards, and developers to facilitate orderly development and infrastructure planning.
