Bellbrook planning board approves lot combination for Heritage Christian Church addition
Summary
The Bellbrook Planning Board voted unanimously Thursday to approve a lot combination for four parcels at 7171 Wilmington Dayton Road so Heritage Christian Church can construct an addition and accessibility improvements.
The Bellbrook Planning Board voted unanimously Thursday to approve a lot combination for four parcels at 7171 Wilmington Dayton Road so Heritage Christian Church can construct an addition and accessibility improvements.
City planning staff told the board the proposal, listed as Planning Board case PB-25-02, would combine lots 11, 12, 13 and 14. Staff reported that utilities are available at the site, internal reviews by police, fire and service departments raised no concerns, and the city engineer provided drainage comments that the applicant will address at the permitting stage.
The lot combination clears a legal and recording step ahead of construction. Staff noted an existing easement on the parcels will need to be vacated when construction takes place, but the easement vacation is a separate step from the lot-recording action the board approved. After recording, the applicant must complete the normal permit review and address the city engineer—s drainage notes.
Applicant representative Jeff Boyne, of Meiler Church Builders, described the work as two small additions and accessibility improvements and said, “They—re small additions, less than 2,000 square foot total.” He added that a site civil engineer, Tom Duso of Haley Duso, was present to answer technical questions and that, in his view, “the existing drainage handles whatever we have to do there.”
The public hearing produced no comments from neighbors. After staff presentation and applicant remarks, a motion to approve the lot combination for case PB-25-02 was made and seconded. The board recorded five yes votes: Mister Bennett, Mister Tuttle, Doctor Van Van Heisen, Doctor Dolley and Mister Boehmer; no no votes or abstentions were recorded.
With no further business, the planning board adjourned the meeting.
The approved lot combination must be recorded before the owner may pursue building permits; drainage issues identified by the city engineer and the easement vacation will be handled during subsequent permitting and legal processes.
