Commission approves minor lot split at 376 East Cherry Street
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a lot split for Parcel 41741101027000 at 376 East Cherry Street, allowing the property owners to divide the parcel into two buildable lots after required variances and county mapping review.
The Sunbury Planning and Zoning Commission on March 24 approved a minor lot split for 376 East Cherry Street (Parcel 41741101027000), enabling owners Dale and Daryl Wampler to create a buildable lot at the north end of their property.
Dale Wampler told the commission the split had been professionally surveyed and reviewed by the Delaware County mapping office and that the couple intends to proceed with longstanding plans to develop the parcel. Staff confirmed the proposed lots meet minimum road frontage averages (the existing property has more than the average frontage across nearby properties) and explained that neighbors with private drive access would need permission from private drive owners if they sought similar splits.
Why it matters: the approval creates an additional buildable residential lot within the existing neighborhood; staff and commissioners noted the split follows subdivision and frontage requirements and that similar requests from neighbors would depend on individual access rights.
Action taken - Motion by Mister Grumley; second by Miss Crawford to approve the lot split for Parcel 41741101027000 (376 East Cherry Street). Roll call: Mister Grumley (yes), Miss Crawford (yes), Mayor Mary St. John (yes), Miss Long (yes), Miss Miller (yes), Mister Soderman (yes). Outcome: approved.
Details and clarifications - Applicant: Dale Wampler; owners: Dale and Daryl Wampler. - Parcel: 41741101027000. The recorded split has been surveyed and processed through Delaware County mapping. - Access: the new lot will have direct street frontage; staff explained that neighbors who rely on a private drive for access would need permission from private drive owners to create a buildable lot.
Ending Commissioners noted the split was a routine request that met code standards and moved quickly through approval. The applicants may proceed with their next steps at the county level and with any required permits.
