Planning commission approves Henry Glick lot‑addition plan after DEP perk tests, adds stormwater note
Summary
The commission approved file 2565, a lot‑addition for Henry Glick, after staff confirmed DEP approval of septic (perk) tests and with a required note on stormwater and erosion controls to be added to the plan.
The Paragon Planning Commission approved a lot‑addition plan for Henry Glick (file 2565) after staff said DEP had issued approval on septic/percolation testing and requested a nonbuilding waiver notation for one lot. Commissioners voted to grant requested waivers and to approve the plan with a staff revision: add a stormwater/erosion‑and‑sedimentation (E&S) note taken directly from the county ordinance.
Why it matters: the applicant had previously received conditional approval earlier in the year; staff recommended resubmitting for a new approval after clarifying ownership and septic suitability. Staff told the commission DEP approved the sewage component that day, and staff recommended including a nonbuilding waiver notation for lot 3 (the lot that will be added to the owner’s existing parcel) because the subdivision would not permit separate sale of that piece as a standalone lot.
Supporting details: staff said the proposed earth disturbance would be under one acre so a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit would not be required if the disturbance remains under that threshold. The commission discussed and advised including a plan note making the property owner responsible for implementing E&S controls and stormwater measures (roof drains, rain gardens or berms) as described in the county standards.
Commission action and votes: the commission voted to grant the six requested modifications/waivers and subsequently approved the preliminary plan with the staff‑required note revision. Votes were taken by voice and recorded as ayes.
Next steps: staff will ensure the stormwater and E&S note is placed on the final plan. The applicant will provide the recorded DEP approval of the sewage component; no additional conditions were listed beyond the plan note and standard documentation requirements.
