Planning commission approves two subdivision plats; Amen Acres approval made contingent on BZA septic variance
Summary
The commission approved a one‑lot plat (Rickard Acres) and a two‑lot plat (Amen Acres). Amen Acres approval was made contingent on Board of Zoning Appeals approval for septic/water variances.
The Kokomo City Planning Commission on Sept. 9 approved two subdivision plats: Rickard Acres (case P09P25), a one‑lot, five‑acre plat for a storage building site, and Amen Acres (case P10P25), a two‑lot, 2.27‑acre subdivision. The commission approved Amen Acres subject to Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) approval of required septic and water variances.
Property owner John Rickard appeared in support of Rickard Acres and said the lot will accommodate a storage building for his use; staff confirmed tech‑review approval and the commission granted primary and final plat approval.
Rudy Bugdevine, surveyor with Randall Miller and Associates, presented Amen Acres and said the plat had undergone vacating of old roads and technical review. Bugdevine and commission members discussed that municipal sewer and water are not available to the site and that the proposed residential lots will require a variance from the BZA for septic and water hookups. The commission’s motion approving the Amen Acres plat included the contingency that approval by the BZA be obtained; commissioners explained that without the necessary variances, the plat would be unusable for its intended residential purpose.
Both motions passed by voice vote; the Amen Acres approval is contingent on BZA action before plat can be recorded or development proceed.
