Planning commission approves Monorff LLC subdivision at 50 Clay Street

The Morgantown Planning Commission approved a subdivision application (SUV 25-20) from Monorff LLC to split Parcel 16 at 50 Clay Street into two parcels and consolidate the remaining portion with an adjacent property, commission members said.

Staff told the commission the proposal would subdivide the building that contains Oliveira's restaurant and adjacent office space, creating one parcel for the subdivided area and combining the remainder with the applicant’s adjoining property. A subdivision plat provided by the applicant was included in the staff report, and staff recommended approval provided the conditions listed in the meeting packet.

Commission discussion was brief. The commission moved to approve the application “as presented, with the conditions” and a member seconded. The motion carried on an affirmative voice vote; the transcript records an “Aye.” No members of the public spoke in favor of or in opposition to the petition during the public-comment portion recorded in the transcript. The applicant did not speak during the item.

The packet and staff report contain the conditions tied to the approval; those conditions were referenced during the meeting but not read aloud and are not specified in the transcript excerpt. The subdivision plat that staff referenced is the document describing the new parcel boundaries and the consolidation of the residual into the adjoining parcel.

The commission moved on after the vote. The record shows the item was approved subject to the staff-recommended conditions; additional administrative steps such as recording the plat or filing revisions, and any deadlines for compliance, were not specified in the portion of the transcript provided.
