Newton Recycling Center - Agricultural Lot-Split - 001039 - Waiver Request to County MSBU

Development Review Committee · 2026-08-03 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed agricultural lot split for the Newton Recycling Center, located at Parcel ID 12844-000-01. The applicant, Kimley-Horn and Associates, is requesting a waiver from the requirement to establish a County MSBU (Municipal Service Benefit Unit) for the maintenance of improvements related to this division. The proposed driveway easement is 60 feet by 40 feet and is expected to require minimal landowner maintenance. This matter is currently pending before the Development Review Committee and will be brought back for reconsideration, requiring a motion to reconsider. The waiver request, if granted by the Board upon recommendation from the DRC, would allow the lot split to proceed without the standard MSBU for maintenance. This early stage in the review process presents an opportunity for contractors and suppliers to engage as the project details are still being finalized. Potential work could involve site preparation, grading, and utility connections related to the driveway easement, followed by any necessary construction or landscaping once the waiver and final approvals are secured.
