Planning commission clears Life Fellowship Church final plat dividing 28.93 acres into two AR parcels

The Olive Branch Planning Commission recommended approval of a final plat for Life Fellowship Church that divides roughly 28.93 acres at the northwest corner of Davidson Road and Kerbeau Lane into two lots. Staff said both lots meet the Agricultural‑Residential (AR) district minimums and that no additional road or sidewalk infrastructure is required for the rural open‑swell sections shown on the plat.

Staff described the proposed Lot 1 as a 17.26‑acre parcel that includes an existing house and outbuilding; Lot 2 contains the church parcel and associated parking. Both lots would retain paved driveway access to Davidson Road and meet setback requirements in AR zoning (50‑foot front/rear, 15‑foot side for typical residences; staff noted the church building had been discussed with staff and any zoning‑related matters would be handled during permitting). Gas, water and electricity are available to the site, staff said.

The commission approved the recommendation subject to the routine conditions in the staff report; the item will be forwarded to the Board of Aldermen for final approval and recorded prior to any lot sales or further development. Applicant representative Nicholas Crone (Civil, Inc. LLC) was present and had no additional comments. No members of the public spoke on the item.

Next steps: if the Board of Aldermen approves the final plat and the plat is recorded with the county, the property owner may proceed with actions consistent with zoning and building permit requirements.

Minor details: staff said the plat conforms to the subdivision regulations and that no variances or deviations were requested for the filing.
