Summary

A petition to split a large parcel into two at North 600 East (Mill Creek) was tabled after board members urged the applicants to obtain a survey and confirm septic locations and frontage measurements before returning.

The board considered a petition by Gary S. Maloon, Brianna Renee Shaw and Christopher McGrew to split a parent parcel into two parcels at North 600 East in Mill Creek, Wills Township.

Applicants said the split was intended to create a new parcel with about 60 feet of frontage and 6.94 acres for a future house. Board members and staff raised concerns that the applicants' drawing was preliminary, that the existing septic field constrained moving the property line, and that frontage measurements could change after a formal survey.

Given the uncertainty, one board member recommended tabling the petition until the surveyor completes work and precise measurements and driveway plans are available. The board voted to table the item and advised the applicants to return with an updated drawing and any required survey information.
