Saint Charles planning commission approves minor subdivision at 885 Geneva Road
Summary
The planning commission approved a minor subdivision to split 885 Geneva Road into two lots, creating an additional buildable parcel; staff recommended approval and the commission carried the motion in a unanimous roll-call vote.
The Saint Charles City Planning Commission approved a minor subdivision that will split 885 Geneva Road into two lots, creating an additional buildable parcel.
City planning staff member Ellen summarized the application, saying, "Bob Rasmussen of Geneva Heights LLC, property owner, is proposing to subdivide 885 Geneva Road into 2 lots, for the purpose of creating an additional buildable lot." Ellen told commissioners that the existing house would remain on proposed Lot 2 with access off Keller Place and that Lot 1 would receive a new driveway off Keller Place. She also said easements would be relocated to the lot perimeter and that the developer would contract for planned improvements to Keller Place, which will remain a public street.
The staff recommendation was approval subject to remaining staff comments. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about a recent quitclaim deed affecting the corner of the property, how building lines are shown on the plat and whether side setbacks would be determined by the height of any new house. Ellen said the plat shows front and rear building lines and that side setbacks depend on whether a proposed dwelling is one- or two-story; detailed building plans will be required at the permit stage once the plat is recorded.
A commissioner moved to approve Unit 2 of the Saint Charles Heights subdivision, subject to staff comments; the motion was seconded and the commission approved the plat in a roll-call vote with all present commissioners voting in favor. The commission indicated that any outstanding staff comments would be addressed prior to final completion and recording of the plat. After the plat is recorded, building permits may be submitted for Lot 1.
The action concludes Item 7 of the agenda and does not by itself authorize construction; it clears the way for permit review and site improvements specified by staff.
The commission then discussed scheduling and other items before adjourning.
