Plan commission approves three CSMs for A and M Development duplexes on Lake Road
Summary
The commission approved three certified survey maps for zero‑lot‑line duplexes built by A and M Development on Lake Road after staff review found compliance with the city's zero‑lot‑line duplex ordinance.
The Plan Commission approved three certified survey maps for duplex parcels developed by A and M Development (Matt principal) on Lake Road: 104–106 Lake Road, 108–110 Lake Road, and 116–118 Lake Road.
Staff reported that the CSMs comply with the city’s zero‑lot‑line duplex ordinance — including required firewalls and separate utility connections — and recommended approval. The city attorney recommended a contingency requiring an agreement that the properties comply with city code; staff incorporated that contingency into the approval.
Why it matters: The zero‑lot‑line duplex ordinance is intended to create lower‑cost homeownership alternatives compared with new single‑family construction by allowing paired units with shared lot boundaries and separate utilities, increasing housing supply in the city.
Motion and outcome: A motion to approve the three CSMs was made and seconded. Roll‑call votes were recorded as aye by Craig, Gunderson, Knott Greiner, Paul and Schneider; the motion carried.
