Oakland commission approves first readings to allow subdivision of 2253 Bayine Road
Summary
On May 26 the Town Commission approved first readings of two linked ordinances to change the future land‑use and zoning of a 12.9‑acre parcel at 2253 Bayine Road from agriculture to low‑density single‑family residential, enabling an administrative subdivision into five single‑family lots; a second reading was scheduled for June 9.
Town staff presented two linked ordinances—Ordinance 2026‑02 (future land use map amendment from agriculture to low‑density residential) and Ordinance 2026‑03 (official zoning map amendment from A1 agricultural to R1A single‑family residential)—for a roughly 12.91‑acre parcel at 2253 Bayine Road owned by the property applicants listed in the ordinance text.
Staff explained the change would permit the property to be subdivided into five single‑family parcels. There is an existing wetland on the western portion of the site that staff said would remain undisturbed and that any future development would be subject to required environmental permits and mitigation. Staff displayed maps showing surrounding land uses and said trip generation from future buildout was projected to increase peak hour trips from approximately one trip to five trips—consistent with the addition of four additional single‑family homes—and that school concurrency and impact fees would apply when lots develop.
Taylor (staff presenter) said the Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of both items at its May 19 meeting by a 5–0 vote, with no conditions. Taylor also noted a 15‑foot utility easement would be dedicated to the town to accommodate a future water line serving that area.
The public hearing was opened; an adjacent landowner who identified herself as Nissa said the family seeks the option to subdivide so some children can live nearby because of special needs, and she confirmed they have no current development plans beyond enabling the option.
Commissioner(s) moved and seconded motions to approve each ordinance on first reading. The commission approved Ordinance 2026‑02 (future land use map amendment) on first reading and then approved Ordinance 2026‑03 (zoning map amendment) on first reading. Staff said the subdivision plat will be processed administratively under state statute and that the items will return for second reading on June 9.
No conditions were recorded in the transcript and no formal amendments were offered during the May 26 first readings.
