Summary

Petition 25-24 to create New Era Depot, a 2.0-acre residential lot between County Road 9A and County Road 11A, was approved with standard plat conditions and required agency clearances before recording.

The DeKalb County Planning Commission Plaque Committee on July 1 approved petition 25-24 to create a one-lot subdivision called New Era Depot located between County Road 9A and County Road 11A, roughly one-quarter mile south of the intersection with County Road 64 in Garrett.

Staff said the parcel is proposed as a 2.0-acre lot from parent parcel 002; the application indicates this is the third buildable split from the parent, leaving the possibility of one additional buildable split on the parent parcel. The proposed lot dimensions meet the Unified Development Ordinance requirements for area, width and frontage. Staff recommended approval with standard plat conditions recorded on the plat and non-recorded conditions to be met before recording.

Specific details in the staff presentation: proposed net lot area 2.0 acres (UDO minimum 2 acres); proposed lot width 385.9 feet (minimum 160 feet); proposed frontages 250.3 feet on County Road 9A and 352.48 feet on County Road 11A. County Road 9A is classified as a county local road with a projected right-of-way width of 60 feet (proposed dedication of 30 feet); County Road 11A is identified as a county minor arterial with a projected total right-of-way width of 100 feet (proposed dedication of 50 feet). The driveway location on County Road 11A has been reviewed and approved by the DeKalb County Highway Department. Private septic systems will be used; municipal utilities are not required.

Donald J. and Candace A. Hager are listed as petitioners. Sandy Harrison moved to approve the primary and secondary plat for petition 25-24; Suzanne Davis seconded. The recorded roll call votes were: Sandy Harrison — yes; Suzanne Davis — yes; Jason Carnahan — yes; Alicia Rogers — yes. The motion passed and the plat was approved with conditions.

Staff reiterated that the plat shall not be recorded until the applicant files written evidence of compliance with any conditions from county agencies (Board of Health, Highway Department, Drainage Board, Surveyor, Airport, Soil and Water Conservation District) and any identified state or federal agencies. The zoning administrator will verify satisfaction of those conditions before allowing the plat to be recorded.
