Greetings from Bartonville!
Happy Spring Break and Saint Patrick’s Day!
We officially welcomed Chief of Police Kirk Riggs with a well-attended welcome reception prior to the February 13 Town Council Meeting. Many attended to meet Chief Riggs and enjoy a cookie or two. We are looking forward to having his leadership and experience in our Police Department.
At that meeting, the Council, following approved ordinances and the current land use plan, approved with conditions a preliminary plat for the new Knight’s Landing West subdivision. Knight’s Landing West is approximately 101 acres on E. Jeter Rd. and will consist of 15 residential lots ranging from six to eight acres. This property is zoned Residential Estates – 5 (RE-5) which has a five-acre minimum. One of the conditions of approval, Council included, was to ensure that there would be no through public access from Hat Creek Court to E. Jeter Rd through Knights Landing. There will be a locked gate on Hat Creek Court with a gravel road accessible only to emergency vehicles on the north side of the property.
The Council also approved, with conditions, the preliminary and final plat for a new event center – The Reserve at Marty B’s. This 14-acre property is just south of IT Neely Drive. The site consists of 10,723 square-foot event center and a 3,199 square-foot chapel. The applicant previously obtained a Conditional Use Permit (Ordinance 754-23, approved August 15, 2023) for the proposed event center use. Council’s action also followed approved ordinances and the current land use plan.
