Cedar Fort planning commission approves pole barn, orders notice over alleged illegal subdivision; minutes approved
Summary
At its April 14 meeting the Cedar Fort Planning Commission approved an accessory building for a Marcellus Troy Bronson, unanimously approved March 5 meeting minutes, and directed staff to send a formal letter to owners at 510 E Station Road over an apparent illegal subdivision; all motions passed unanimously.
The Cedar Fort Planning Commission took several administrative and enforcement‑related actions at its April 14 meeting, approving an accessory building, approving minutes from March 5, and directing the town to notify owners of an apparent illegal subdivision at 510 E Station Road.
On the accessory building request, commissioners reviewed an application from Marcellus Troy Bronson to construct a pole barn on a parcel described as approximately 0.437 acres. Commissioners discussed applicable AR zone standards under Title 10, Section 10.11.100, including a 30‑foot front setback and side/rear setbacks that vary with structure height (minimum 10 feet). After verifying the proposal met those setbacks and zoning standards, Lynnette Groff moved to approve the accessory building; Cayden Draper seconded and the motion passed 3‑0 (Groff: Yes; Draper: Yes; Berry: Yes).
Earlier in the meeting the commission approved the minutes for the public hearing and regular meeting held March 5, 2026. The motion to approve those minutes was made by Lynnette Groff, seconded by Cayden Draper, and passed unanimously.
On the property at 510 E Station Road, commissioners reported the lot had been divided into two one‑acre parcels without proper approval, that one parcel lacks legal access, and that owners had begun work including land clearing, fencing and interior renovations. Concerned about ongoing activity without required approvals or permits, the commission voted to have town leadership send a formal letter notifying the owners of the alleged illegal subdivision and requesting they come in to present plans. The motion was made by Lynnette Groff, seconded by Bart D Berry and passed 3‑0.
The commission did not vote on the zoning map amendment for Mervyn Arnold after the applicant elected to delay the application. The meeting concluded with a unanimous motion to adjourn at 7:24 p.m.
