Harrison planning commission approves Trailhead and Madden Way plats, OKs downtown studio permit
Summary
The Harrison Planning Commission approved a record plat for Trailhead Section 3, a partial split plat for Madden Way, and granted a zoning/use permit for Arc Design House LLC at 105 South Walnut with conditions concerning waste, signage and building permits.
The Harrison Planning Commission on Dec. 10 approved three land-use items including a record plat for Trailhead Section 3, a partial split plat for Madden Way and a zoning and use permit for Arc Design House LLC at 105 South Walnut.
Planning and zoning staff summarized the Trailhead Section 3 proposal as a division of an original roughly 183-plus-acre parcel into lots, open space and rights-of-way producing about 9-plus acres for development identified as Trailhead Section 3 Block D. Staff recommended approval conditioned on the road width meeting city standards; the commission moved, seconded and voted to approve the record plat.
On the downtown zoning request, planning staff described an application for Arc Design House LLC to operate a private creative workspace and photography studio in approximately 900 square feet at 105 South Walnut. Staff told the commission the proposal meets the Harrison Zoning Regulations (section 11 43 c 9) and aligns with the downtown strategic plan to support businesses that increase foot traffic and walkability. Staff recommended approval with conditions covering waste disposal (residential-style containers unless a future dumpster is proposed and reviewed), required building permits for any interior or exterior structural work, a zoning permit for significant exterior design changes or signage, and maintenance standards for any future landscaping. The commission approved the permit with those conditions.
The commission also approved a partial split plat for Madden Way to divide three parcels into two lots — described in staff materials as about 5.2-plus acres for lot 1 and about 2.6-plus acres for lot 2 — again conditioned on meeting the city standard for road width. With no old business remaining, the commission moved to adjourn and concluded the meeting.
Planning staff provided the factual descriptions and recommendations during the meeting; votes were recorded by affirmative responses. Specific individual vote assignments (which commissioner voted which way) were not recorded in the staff presentation. The commission also moved to excuse Councilman Wilson at the start of the meeting.
Next procedural steps: the approved plats and the permit are subject to the standard follow-up actions listed in the approvals (road-width compliance, building-permit review, and any future sign/landscaping permit reviews).
