Perry County Planning Commission approves waivers and conditionally approves lot-addition plan; earlier application withdrawn
Summary
The commission accepted the withdrawal of application 25-029 and approved waivers for subdivision file 25-042, granting conditional approval subject to recording a corrective deed for a two-acre sliver.
The Perry County Planning Commission accepted the withdrawal of a previously considered subdivision application and approved a separate lot-addition plan with conditions at its September meeting.
Commissioners voted unanimously to accept the applicant’s withdrawal of file 25-029 and then turned to file 25-042 (listed as “Ammon Life”), a plan described by staff as primarily intended to enable sale of the property while resolving a survey/deed discrepancy. Staff said a roughly 2-acre sliver of land discovered during recent surveying was on a deed but not on tax rolls and will be conveyed to the seller to correct the boundary.
The applicant asked for and received several standard waivers (including plat scale and specifications) to permit submission of the preliminary plan in the presented form. Commissioners approved those waivers by voice vote. They then moved to approve the preliminary plan for file 25-042 on the explicit condition that the corrective deed conveying the two-acre parcel be recorded first; staff said the deed had been drafted and was expected to be recorded imminently. The condition was intended to ensure the county’s records and the plan boundaries match before final action.
During discussion, staff and members emphasized survey and monument placement constraints along State Route 3008 and Sherman's Creek, noting stream-bank erosion can alter conservation easement boundaries over time. The commission also reviewed access notes (an 18-foot and a 12-foot proposed right-of-way on different ends of the parcel) and confirmed that no new construction was proposed as part of the current plan.
Votes on the waivers, the conditional plan approval and the minutes were taken by voice and were recorded as unanimous 'aye' votes. The withdrawal of application 25-029 was also accepted by unanimous voice vote.
Next procedural steps: the applicant must record the deed described by staff; commissioners indicated the deed recording is the sole condition to clear before the plan moves forward.
