Council approves six-lot Wilkie Miller subdivision, rezoning and variance for 1301 Canoga Circle
Summary
Council approved preliminary and final plats creating six lots for twin townhomes, rezoned 1301 Canoga Circle from B3 to R2, and granted a variance for reduced rear-yard setbacks on lots 1–5 so decks can abut the pond; developer Greg Taylor said he built and owns the pond and expects residents to fish from decks.
Marshall City Council approved a three-part land-use package for a development at 1301 Canoga Circle: preliminary and final plats creating six buildable lots (Wilkie Miller Sixth Edition), a rezoning from B3 to R2, and a variance reducing rear-yard setbacks on lots 1–5 to allow decks to overlook an existing pond.
Jason Anderson (City Engineer) told the council the plats create six buildable lots behind an existing stormwater pond north of Canoga Circle, with an access easement on the north and east property lines and public water and sewer to be extended under a future developer agreement. Staff recommended approval and noted the planning commission had held a public hearing roughly a year earlier.
The developer, Greg Taylor, told the council he built the pond in the early 1980s and intends the five rear lots (10 units) to have decks that allow residents to fish; he said the east end of the pond is about 17 feet deep. He also said one large eastern lot could accommodate an eight-plex that would have different water access.
Council approved the preliminary plat (motion by Craig, second by Jim), then passed a resolution approving the final plat (motion by Craig, second by Amanda). The council later approved the rezoning ordinance from B3 to R2 (motion by Jim, second by Craig) and granted the variance limited to lots 1–5 (motion by Jim, second by Craig). Staff clarified the variance does not apply to the southernmost lot.
What happens next: staff will continue to work with the developer on water and sewer design and potential developer agreement; building plans and any required utility design will follow the plat and rezoning approvals.
