Commission approves lot split in Park Addition to create two home sites

The Guymon Planning Commission approved a lot split in the Park Addition to create sites for two single-family homes.

Planning staff said Thomas Peralta of A&T Renovation submitted the petition and that staff recommended approval to allow construction of two homes. Staff noted the resulting lots would be narrower than some R-1 width recommendations but that the lots’ long dimensions make each parcel about 8,000 square feet overall. "The width would be slightly smaller than what the recommended is, but ... it actually is about 8,000 square foot for the entirety of the lot," the staff member said. The staff also explained separation requirements: "It's usually 5 foot to the lot line, which would give you a 10 foot between each home."

A motion to approve the lot split was made and seconded. The commission voted 4-0 in favor; Montgomery, O'Blander, Hynings and Lackey were recorded as voting yes. One commission member asked the staff to sign a paper so the approved documents could be taken to the courthouse.

The transcript records that staff confirmed the split’s design would meet setbacks and easements to neighboring homes; no protest letters or opposing public comments were recorded in the meeting transcript for this item.
