6 substantive meetings from 2021, with official agendas or minutes and plain-English summaries.
Planning and Zoning Board
The Kilgore Planning and Zoning Board meets Dec. 15, 2021, to consider approving the preliminary plat for Iron Farms Subdivision, a 29-lot development on 82.654 acres located 1,000 feet north of Stone Road (FM 22404) and FM 2276, along the east right-of-way line of FM 2276. The land is outside Kilgore city limits but inside the city's Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction, so city subdivision rules apply. Staff recommends approval, noting the plat meets the 60-foot minimum right-of-way width and that lots are 1-4 acres. The board will also approve minutes from its Oct. 20, 2021 meeting.
