The Putnam County Planning Commission gave preliminary approval to a 10-lot West Cemetery Road subdivision Tuesday night.
Planning Director Kevin Rush said commissioners also recommended for the developer to leave access to the acreage behind the lots.
“We’re proposing that we recommend to the developer that they leave another 50 foot strip going back to it for future development purposes,” Rush said. “That way if it doesn’t sell and he decided to develop the whole thing ever, he can build a road and go all the way through.”
The 10-lots making up about five acres takes all the road frontage along West Cemetery Road. Rush said over five acres remain behind the lots. Rush said he believes the strip should not be required, but the commission should make the developer aware of its standing.
“For future development purposes, it would be nice to have,” Rush said.
Rush said the subdivision still requires a final approval before moving forward.
