Summary

The Gardendale Planning & Zoning Commission granted final plat approval for the Wise Estate two-lot minor subdivision at 803 Rosilyn Lane; applicants said they will divide off roughly three acres for a new home and retain the remaining lot for future use.

The Gardendale Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously on Jan. 8 to approve a two-lot minor subdivision, known as Wise Estate, at 803 Rosilyn Lane.

Applicants Jonas and Tracey Wise presented the final plat for the property (Parcel ID 13 00 18 4 002 013.000), stating they planned to divide off about three acres for construction of a primary residence while leaving the larger lot vacant for the time being. Commission records show city departments submitted no comments on the application and a roll call of adjoining property owners was recorded; Christopher and Kimberly Orear of 805 Rosilyn Lane were noted as present.

Why it matters: Final plat approval clears the way for the Wise family to obtain permits and begin construction in accordance with Gardendale’s Subdivision Regulations. The action changes official lot lines in the SE 1/4 of Section 18, Township 16 South, Range 2 West, Jefferson County, which will be reflected in county property records.

The vote: Commission member Bob Moore moved to approve the minor subdivision; Katie Lewis seconded. The vote was unanimous and the motion carried.

Details and next steps: The approved plat creates two lots. The applicants indicated an intent to begin construction soon and to complete establishment of the new home over the coming year. Any building permits, inspections and utility connections will proceed through the city’s standard permitting process. The minutes show no conditions or departmental objections attached to the approval.

The Commission did not record any formal objections or public testimony against the proposal at the meeting. The hearing record includes the list of adjoining property owners called for notice; several were recorded as absent.
