Commission tables Russell Dunn lot-split application after neighbor raises deed concerns
Summary
The zoning commission postponed action on Russell Dunn’s request to split a 5-acre parcel from a larger tract after a neighboring resident said prior representations suggested the parcel could not be subdivided; the board asked for written evidence and tabled the item until next month.
The Morgan Township Zoning Commission tabled a lot-split application from Russell Dunn for 3030 South State Line Road after hearing opposition from a neighboring property owner.
Applicant Russell Dunn requested a 5-acre split from a larger parcel. Harrison Brown of 2934 Stateline Road spoke during public comment and said he purchased his property based on an understanding that the land in question could not be subdivided. Brown said his supporting material was in email form but not recorded in his deed and asked the commission to consider that information.
Commissioners told Brown that, absent a recorded deed restriction, there is no mechanism to enforce an unrecorded agreement and asked for any supporting documentation. The board voted to table the application until the next monthly meeting so the neighbor can provide written evidence and the commission can research the matter further.
The applicant’s file will remain open; the zoning administrator and trustees will review any submitted documents before the commission revisits the application.
