Plan commission recommends rezoning to allow 2-acre family lot near Wesley Chapel Road
Summary
The Owen County Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of a rezoning petition that would divide an 11.5-acre property on Wesley Chapel Road so the owner can deed a two-acre lot to a relative; the recommended approval will go to county commissioners for final action.
The Owen County Plan Commission voted to recommend approval of a rezoning petition that would split an 11.5-acre parcel on Wesley Chapel Road, allowing a two-acre lot to be deeded to the applicant’s relative.
The applicant (Speaker 6) told the commission he wants “to deed off 2 acres to Ella here to put a house in for her and her kids' disabled husband,” describing a three-lot plan so his mother can help with caregiving. He said septic suitability has not yet been confirmed.
Planning staff read the statutory public-hearing notice and explained that the commission’s action is a recommendation to the county commissioners, who will make the final decision. Staff (Speaker 3) reported one written objection had been filed and forwarded to commissioners; the objection, she said, focused on the possibility of further subdivision after rezoning rather than the rezoning request itself.
Speaker 5 moved to recommend the petition as submitted; Speaker 2 seconded. The commission approved the recommendation by voice vote and recorded the motion as carried. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
The commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the County Commissioners for final consideration; no hearing date or final-approval timeline was specified in the record.
