Committee approves one-lot subdivision 'Field View' north of County Road 66 in Garrett
Summary
Petition 25-23 (Field View) was approved to create a 2.004-acre residential lot; staff recommended standard recorded and non-recorded conditions and required agency sign-offs before recording.
The DeKalb County Planning Commission Plaque Committee on July 1 approved petition 25-23 to establish a one-lot subdivision called Field View on the west side of County Road 9A about one-tenth of a mile north of County Road 66 in Garrett.
Staff reported the lot would be 2.004 net acres, meeting the Unified Development Ordinance minimum lot area of 2 net acres and exceeding minimum lot width and frontage requirements. County Highway review found adequate access; the driveway locations were approved. Staff recommended approval with the standard recorded conditions and additional non-recorded requirements to be met before the plat is recorded.
The application had been filed May 28, 2025; legal notice was published in the Star on June 20, 2025. Staff cited letters from the DeKalb County Board of Health (dated June 6), the DeKalb County Highway Department (May 28), DeKalb County Soil and Water Conservation District (May 29) and the Drainage Board (June 5). Plats were prepared by Foresight Consulting and the land is in Zoning District A-2 which permits the proposed residential use.
Key measurements presented by staff: proposed net lot area 2.004 acres (minimum required 2 acres); proposed lot width 328.55 feet (minimum 160 feet); proposed frontage 40 feet (minimum 120 feet, or 40 feet when lots conserve land for agricultural production); proposed right-of-way dedication of 30 feet along County Road 9A. The staff report notes private septic will be used; municipal water or sewer extensions are not required.
Jason Carnahan moved to approve the primary and secondary plat for petition 25-23; Sandy Harrison seconded. The roll call recorded votes as: Sandy Harrison — yes; Suzanne Davis — yes; Jason Carnahan — yes; Alicia Rogers — yes. The motion passed and the committee approved the plat subject to the listed conditions.
The staff report requires that the applicant provide written evidence of compliance with any conditions from county agencies (Board of Health, Highway, Drainage Board, Surveyor, Airport, Soil and Water Conservation District) and any identified federal or state agencies before recording. The zoning administrator will determine when the conditions have been met and authorize recording.
