Commission approves combining small Saltz Road parcels for new homes
Summary
The commission approved waivers to combine six small contiguous parcels on Saltz Road into two buildable parcels, finding both resulting parcels can accommodate principal buildings that meet R5 setbacks and have public utilities and road frontage.
The Canton Township Planning Commission approved waivers that allow six small, contiguous platted parcels on Saltz Road to be combined into two buildable parcels and used as separate residential lots under section 3.05C of the zoning ordinance.
Staff explained the parcels lie in the McIntyre Gardens subdivision; proposed combinations would create parcels 60 feet and 67 feet wide with building envelopes of roughly 45 feet (west) and 37 feet (east) to meet the R5 setback standards. Blake (representing Blake Anthony Homes) said the product will likely target the low-$400,000 price range with homes roughly 1,700–2,000 square feet. Commissioners praised the infill proposal and voted in favor of the motion moved by Commissioner Watkins and supported by Commissioner Singh. The motion approved the waivers for planning application 060-PS-84603 based on (a) public water and sanitary sewer connections available, (b) frontage on Saltz Road (an approved road), and (c) sufficient area/width for a principal building consistent with R5 setbacks.
Staff and the applicant said utility connections and site/building plans will follow; commissioners noted the product provides modestly priced homes and fits the township’s intent to allow infill in older platted neighborhoods.
