If land use issues are their jam, Ellis County residents might want to pencil in a new date on their calendars, particularly when it involves any part of Yarbrough's Yard. According to a public notice published by Ellis County, a replat on the docket could shift some lines on the local map. More specifically, the Commissioners’ Court is scheduled to review an application for a replat of Lot 1BR in Yarbrough’s Yard, which includes an adjustment to the existing lot line as well as the inclusion of some previously unplatted land — and we’re talking about a not-so-insignificant expanse of around 7.330 acres.
The nitty-gritty details for those who like specifics, the property in question is situated roughly 620 feet south of where Springbranch Road meets Black Champ Road – a location you could probably pinpoint with closed eyes if you're local to the area, the property is part of the Road and Bridge Precinct No. 4 which means it’s under the jurisdiction of the folks who will be at the meeting on June 10. Suppose you're eyeing this development with opportunistic glee or concerned scrutiny. In that case, you’ll have your chance to observe the proceedings or voice your concerns directly at the Ellis County Courthouse, and it's all going down on the second floor at 2:00 PM sharp.
However, for anyone who can’t make it to the courthouse on a weekday afternoon—which let’s face it, is likely a good number of you—there’s a way to get your questions answered ahead of time. The powers-that-be at the Department of Development have opened up their lines, meaning you can either give them a ring at 972-825-5200 or shoot them an email at [email protected].
