Madison City Planning Commission approved an application, PCAF-25-6, on Aug. 11 to amend a final plat so a vacant lot at East Bob O'Link Court can be split and the garage portion consolidated with an adjacent property.

The approval, 7-0, lets the current owner separate a garage structure from an otherwise vacant parcel, consolidate that garage with a neighboring property, and make the remaining land available for sale. The affected addresses are listed in the application as 1860+ East Bob O'Link Court and 1884 East Telegraph Hill Road; both parcels are zoned low-density residential (R-4). The commission handled the item as a single, routine subdivision amendment and moved on after a brief explanation and no public opposition.

Commission staff described the request as straightforward. "So currently, it's an empty lot with, a garage, but the current owner wants to keep keep the garage portion. So he's splitting that off from the vacant part, and then consolidating the garage with his property and then selling the other part," Staff member Nicole said during the item's presentation. Applicant Dwayne Betts, who identified himself as living at 2039 East Bob O'Link Court, told the commission, "My property join joins his property."

The application identified the parcel IDs involved as 39-09-31-200-019.000-006 (1860+ East Bob O'Link Court) and 39-09-31-200-008.000-006 (1884 East Telegraph Hill Road). No ordinance or statute was cited during the hearing. Commissioners asked no substantive questions and no members of the public raised concerns during the meeting's public-comment portion for the item.

Nicole called the roll for the final vote. Commissioners Jerry Ralston, Patrick Tevinoff, Rick Ferris, Josh Wilbur, Carl Eglin, Mike Armstrong and Zach Laughlin each voted "yes," producing a unanimous 7-0 approval. The motion's mover and seconder were not recorded in the transcript.

With the approval recorded, the commission had no additional applications or old business and adjourned. Any subsequent ministerial steps to record the revised plat and update deed records were not addressed during the meeting and were not specified in the record.
