Commissioners’ Court to revisit updates after objections to penalties
Waxahachie Daily Light
Major overhauls to Ellis County’s development regulations are in the works, and they came under scrutiny during Tuesday’s meeting of the Commissioners’ Court.
The court discussed, then tabled at the request of Precinct 3 Commissioner Paul Perry, changes to Volume I (Subdivision & Development Standards), Volume II (Drainage Design Manual), and Volume III (Standard Construction Details) to the Ellis County Quality Growth Initiatives, which were last revised by Minute Order No. 378.19.
Perry objected to violations of the development code being classified as a Class B misdemeanor, which could involve jail time. Perry proposed to table it until the next court meeting.
