Farmington Hills Planning Commission approves four‑lot split at Oakcrest Drive amid neighbor concerns over pedestrian easement
Summary
The commission approved a four‑lot final split for 28500 Oakcrest Drive/0 Rock Ridge Lane after finding applicants met zoning and subdivision requirements and noting a Zoning Board of Appeals variance; neighbors urged protection or improvement of a public pedestrian easement, but commissioners said easement vacation or improvement is a city council matter.
Farmington Hills — The Planning Commission voted Jan. 15 to approve a final lot split that will divide two parcels near the end of Rock Ridge Lane into four residential lots, finding the proposal meets the city’s zoning and subdivision standards once variances already granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals are recognized.
The commission’s action covered a final certificate of survey dated Oct. 24, 2024, submitted by applicants Jason M. and Lauren M. Kurz. The motion, adopted by voice vote, attached conditions requiring revisions to the survey to address outstanding city planner and city engineer comments and cited relief from Section 27‑59’s typical 3:1 depth‑to‑width ratio based on the cul‑de‑sac lot configuration.
