Plan commission approves 1.2‑acre in‑law lot and forwards favorable rezone recommendation
Summary
The commission approved a 1.2‑acre minor plat to create a one‑acre in‑law lot for Rodney and Stephanie Parks on Lindstree Farm Road and forwarded a favorable recommendation on rezone Z‑25‑02 to accommodate the acreage.
The Morgan County Plan Commission on July 14 approved MIP‑25‑12, a one‑lot minor plat creating a 1.2‑acre parcel on Lindstree Farm Road in Gregg Township so Rodney and Stephanie Parks can build a dwelling for family members. The commission also forwarded a favorable recommendation on rezoning request Z‑25‑02 to support the acreage change.
Bridal Haggard of B3 Companies presented the plat and said the 1.2‑acre parcel was created to meet the ordinance requirement of a one‑acre minimum for the intended zoning. Rodney Parks said the lot was intended to house his parents (he later clarified the house is for his parents, not in‑laws).
No public opposition signed up. A motion to approve the minor plat was made and seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. A separate motion to forward a favorable recommendation on Z‑25‑02 also carried by voice vote.
The petitioner and staff said the rezone was requested to align zoning with the new parcel size and to enable a dwelling unit if needed in the future; the immediate intent is to house the applicant’s parents. The transcript records no additional conditions or deadlines.
