Commission approves rezoning for a 5-acre lot on 40-acre parcel (application 2502-0034)
Summary
The Franklin County Commission approved application 2502-0034 to rezone a 5-acre portion of a 40-acre parcel to Residential Estates, allowing a lot split with noted Rural Water 4 meter availability and a required ratio exception for the remaining parcel.
The Franklin County Commission voted June 4 to approve application 2502-0034 (Bowers) to rezone 5 acres of a 40-acre parcel to the Residential Estates district, creating a separate lot roughly 2.5 miles southwest of Ottawa.
County staff described the proposal as a 5-acre lot split from an existing 40-acre parcel commonly known as 2014 Rock Creek. The applicant requested rezoning of five acres to Residential Estates; the remaining 35 acres would remain Agricultural (A-2). Staff said the existing driveway will serve the new lot, though the existing home will require a new access. A county staff representative reported that "a meter is available" from Rural Water 4 and that the lot split will require an exception to the standard 4:1 ratio for the remaining 35-acre parcel because of the parcel's shape and size.
The planning commission and county staff recommended approval. A motion to approve application 2502-0034 carried by roll call with all commissioners voting yes.
The rezoning approval is contingent on the administrative details needed to complete the lot split and the required Rural Water and ratio exception processing.
No amendments to the application were recorded in the meeting discussion.
