Commission approves two lot split applications; one approval conditioned on BOA variance and sewer easement
Loading...
Summary
The MAPC approved a lot‑split for properties at 2001 and 2013 East Main Street and a conditioned lot split for properties at 117 & 119 North 18th Street and 1801 East Randolph (conditioned on Board of Adjustment variance approval and required sewer easements).
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission voted Monday to approve two lot‑split actions on the consent and regular agendas.
The commission approved a lot split for applicants Jill and Leslie Gilbert affecting parcels at 2001 and 2013 East Main Street. Planning staff described the request as a lot‑line adjustment to square a portion of the parcel, noted nearby uses (Union Community Corrections Center, nearby apartments and NOC ballfield) and said a private sewer will require a recorded easement. The applicant told the commission they own the entire block and plan to retain 2013 while selling other parcels. A motion to approve passed unanimously.
The commission also considered a lot split for property owned by Deborah and Doyle Scholtes at 117 and 119 North 18th Street and 1801 East Randolph Avenue. Staff said the parcel currently contains five structures (three single‑family dwellings) and that the applicant seeks to split the land so two single‑family structures would be on one lot and other structures on the second lot. Because the proposal would leave more than one dwelling on a single R‑2 lot, staff recommended approval conditioned on the Board of Adjustment granting a variance (section 11‑6‑b‑2) to allow two single‑family structures on one lot and on the recording of private sewer easement documents. The commission approved the lot split with those conditions; staff said the BOA hearing is scheduled in March.
No members of the public spoke on either lot split. The approvals were recorded as unanimous on the commission floor.
