Votes at a glance: Planning Commission approves July minutes and small Highland Avenue land addition
Summary
The Planning Commission approved the July 16, 2025 minutes and unanimously approved a land-addition plat to combine a small encroached area near a shed with the longer parcel at 720 Highland Avenue; motions carried by voice vote with no roll-call recorded.
At the start of its Sept. 17 meeting, the Fort Thomas Planning Commission approved the minutes from its July 16, 2025 meeting by motion and a voice vote.
Later in the meeting, the commission considered a land-addition plat involving 730 Highland Avenue and the longer adjoining parcel at 720 Highland Avenue that resolved an inadvertent property encroachment around a shed. Staff explained the plat required additional certificates newly required by the city’s Unified Development Ordinance (owner notary acknowledgements and clerk stamp) and noted the change would not affect density. A motion to approve the land addition was made and passed by voice vote. The commission recorded “Aye” for the motion; individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript.
