Campton Hills planning commission approves consolidation of two lots for Wharton/Martin Estate pending easement check
Summary
The Campton Hills Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve a plat consolidation that combines two lots in the Hunters Hill subdivision into a single 5.56-acre parcel, contingent on verification of a drainage easement and access details.
Campton Hills — The Village of Campton Hills Planning and Zoning Commission approved a plat consolidation for the Wharton Estate during a special meeting Wednesday, April 9, with the approval conditioned on staff verifying a drainage easement.
The consolidation merges Lots 8 and 9 of Hunters Hill Unit 5 into a single lot to be recorded as Lot 1 of Martin Estates, a combined parcel totaling about 5.56 acres, commission members said. Chairman Frederick opened the item by saying, “Number 5, the motion to approve the plat consolidation for Wharton Estate. I believe that is in your packet.”
The applicant is consolidating the two adjacent lots to create a single buildable parcel for a new home; staff described the submittal as a consolidation rather than a subdivision. Jim, a village staff member, told commissioners the request was “pretty straightforward” and that there is an existing access easement that provides driveway access off Oak Hill Drive. Commissioners asked staff to confirm whether a drainage easement at the south end of the parcel permits a paved driveway crossing; one commissioner noted certain drainage-easement language can prohibit paved surfaces.
After discussion, a motion to approve the consolidation was made and seconded with the condition that staff confirm the drainage-easement language and access easement before signatures are recorded. The commission took a voice vote; the chair called for those in favor to say “aye” and the motion carried.
The record notes the commission requested staff verify: (1) whether the existing drainage easement document (referenced in the meeting) allows the proposed driveway crossing, and (2) which easements remain in place between Lots 7 and 10. If verification is satisfactory, staff will finalize the paperwork and obtain signatures to record Lot 1 of Martin Estates.
No members of the public spoke on the item during the meeting. The commission did not set additional conditions beyond the easement verification.
Votes at a glance: a voice vote approved the plat consolidation contingent on verification of the drainage easement; specific individual vote names were not recorded in the transcript beyond the chair calling the voice vote and announcing the motion carried.
Clarifying details recorded at the meeting include the consolidated parcel acreage (5.56 acres), the lots involved (Lots 8 and 9 of Hunters Hill Unit 5), and the point of access (existing private driveway off Oak Hill Drive).
