Planning Commission conditionally approves conveyance plat for 247 Military Parkway
Summary
Fort Thomas Planning Commission conditionally approved a conveyance (convenience) plat that transfers a triangular parcel from Lot 7 to Lot 6 at 247 Military Parkway, with a staff condition to clarify an exception noted in the deed.
The Fort Thomas Planning Commission on May 21 conditionally approved a conveyance plat that moves a triangular area from Lot 7 to Lot 6 at 247 Military Parkway to allow a rebuilt house to meet setback requirements.
The transfer, which commissioners said restores a parcel that historically had been part of Lot 6, was approved after staff described the site, the removal of a deteriorated structure and the survey corrections made with the applicant.
Planning staff summarized the proposal as a transfer intended to "give them a little bit more room to meet setbacks for a new home." Staff said Lot 7 as drawn meets setback requirements and that the surveyor added a measured setback because aerial imagery suggested the house might sit close to the property line. The commission discussed existing gravel pads, an old driveway that may appear closer on aerials, and a rear structure and fence that could be civil matters between owners rather than zoning concerns.
Commissioners flagged a deed reference ("deed book, page 70") shown as an exception on the plat and asked staff to add a clarifying note. A commissioner moved to approve the conveyance plat for 247 Military Parkway "with the changes being a note on the exception and clarifying the transfer from Lot 7 to Lot 6 of the premises." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The approval was conditioned on staff adding the requested note about the exception and clarifying the parcel-to-parcel conveyance. The commission asked staff to continue coordinating with the surveyor for minor corrections before the plat is finalized.
Commissioners and staff also discussed the alley and right-of-way issues along Military Parkway, noting that unusual road/right-of-way alignments in the area can create odd parcel lines and that such matters are typically not pursued for formal vacation by the city unless a property owner initiates and pays for the survey and legal work.
The commission did not record a roll-call vote in the minutes; the item passed on a voice vote. No further conditions, such as Board of Adjustment relief, were required for the approved transfer as described.
The commission moved next to other agenda business after the conveyance vote.
