Members of the Medford City Council are paving the way for more residential growth on the city’s south side with a new plat for a subdivision. The preliminary plat for the Johnson Subdivision is on city-owned property south of CTH O and connecting to the existing Simek Subdivision. All of the lots are a half-acre in size. The intent is to make them more desirable for homeowners. A complaint with the Simek subdivision was that the lots were too small for people to build a home on them. The Johnson Subdivision lots are twice the size of the original Simek Subdivision lots. One of the agreements with the Johnson family when purchasing the land was naming a road after the family. The other streets are left blank until time of construction when they will be named then. The school is currently building on lot No. 27 of the subdivision. The preliminary plat will go to the planning commission for additional review.
