Josiah Addition Section 2
Boundary and topographic surveying, county platting, and a paved-road variance for a 167.91 acre residential subdivision with more than 200 lots in Midland County.
Turning 167.91 Acres Into a County-Approved Subdivision
Josiah Addition Section 2 is a 167.91 acre residential development in Midland County with frontage along East County Road 150 and Farm-to-Market Road 121. The property was subdivided into more than 200 residential lots, primarily ranging from one to two acres.
Magrym Consulting provided the surveying and platting services that took the tract from raw acreage to a recorded subdivision. Our scope included boundary and topographic surveying, coordination of Texas 811 utility-locate requests, preparation and submittal of the subdivision plat to Midland County, and preparation of a variance application related to the county’s paved-road requirement.
Services delivered on this project:
Private Roads, Pipeline Easements, and a County Paving Rule
The subdivision is served by private access and utility easements and existing lease roads rather than new county-paved streets. That layout works for large-lot rural development, but it runs into Midland County’s paved-road requirement, so the plat needed a variance application that could stand on its own at the county.
The tract also carries existing pipeline and utility easements that had to be located, honored, and shown correctly on more than 200 lots. Every lot line, easement, and road had to close on the plat before the county would consider it.
How Magrym Delivered the Plat
One surveying team handled the fieldwork, the utility coordination, the plat, and the variance.
Boundary and topographic survey
Field survey of the full 167.91 acre tract to establish the boundary and capture the existing ground and improvements.
Utility coordination
Texas 811 locate requests coordinated so existing pipelines and utilities could be verified and shown on the plat.
Plat preparation
Subdivision plat prepared with more than 200 lots, private access and utility easements, and the existing lease roads.
County submittal and variance
Plat submitted to Midland County alongside a variance application addressing the paved-road requirement.
A Plat Ready for the County and the Closing Table
Magrym prepared and submitted the subdivision plat and the paved-road variance application to Midland County, giving the developer a complete package for approval and recording.
With the boundary established and the easements documented, the developer can sell and convey lots against a plat prepared by a Texas RPLS who knows how Midland County reviews rural subdivisions.
