Planning commission reviews two lot splits; council hears guidance to consult health department
Summary
The planning commission reported approval of two roughly three-quarter-acre lots and discussed a property owner’s request to split an existing lot; council members advised the owner to contact the health department and return with details next month.
The Planning Commission reported that two roughly three-quarter-acre lot splits with required frontage were approved by the commission and will not need further council action.
Separately, a property owner asked about subdividing an older house parcel (one parcel at about 0.36 acres and one at about 0.38 acres). Planning commissioners said the owner should consult the health department about septic capacity and then return to the commission; staff said the item could be put on the agenda next month for formal consideration after the owner completes the health-department review.
Commissioners and council members discussed an existing ordinance that restricts construction on certain illegal or nonconforming lots; council members noted that owners who want to build often must purchase adjoining land or otherwise meet minimum-lot-size requirements. No formal council action was taken at the meeting on the specific lot-split request; the planning commission will follow up with the owner and the health department.
