Summary

A minor subdivision creating two lots (~2.94 and ~0.64 acres) in Trenton Township and variances to retain rural residential zoning were approved after staff reported health-unit review and no public objection at the hearing.

The commission approved LU-0105-25, a minor subdivision that will split an approximately 3.58-acre parent parcel into two lots (approximately 2.94 acres and 0.64 acres) in Trenton Township and granted a variance to keep both lots in the rural residential zoning district.

Michelle (planning staff) explained the proposed recordation will be contingent on approval of the variance, and noted the applicant plans separate septic tanks for each lot. Commissioners discussed typical septic-area sizing; staff said the applicant has worked with the health unit and was cleared. The public hearing produced no comments. A motion to approve staff recommendations carried on roll-call vote.

Staff will proceed with the recordation steps once the variance and minor subdivision are finalized and any required health-unit documentation is in the file.
