Commission backs rezoning of small agricultural remnant to allow single‑family lot split
Summary
A property owner seeking to split an agricultural‑zoned parcel into two single‑family lots received a positive recommendation after staff said the change is consistent with the village—future land use plan and public utilities are available.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 25 voted to recommend changing the zoning of a small agricultural remnant to single‑family residential so the owner can split the parcel and sell the eastern half for a new home.
Planning staff told commissioners the parcel is an "agricultural remnant" — not active farmland and too small to meet current agricultural lot standards — and that public water and sewer are available. Carrie said the requested zoning change is consistent with the village—future land use plan, which seeks to eliminate scattered pockets of agricultural zoning within developed areas.
The applicant, Kevin Fisher, said a buyer is under contract for the proposed new home. "We've already under contract, so a family is ready to go into the home," Fisher said. He confirmed a survey will be completed as part of the subdivision process.
Commissioners agreed the rezoning and subsequent subdivision make sense as infill development; the commission forwarded a positive recommendation to the Planning and Economic Development meeting on Sept. 2.
