Chrisney Plan Commission recommends duplex standards; council schedules public hearing on driveway-easement issue
Summary
The Chrisney Plan Commission recommended adding duplex and multi-family standards for parking, building specs, setbacks and lot coverage; the council set an Oct. 6 public hearing to resolve responsibility for driveways paved over utility easements. Council members also heard updates on imminent demolitions at 54 E. North and Locust Street.
Ben Cohoon, president of the Chrisney Plan Commission, presented the commission’s recommendation to amend the town zoning ordinance to include standards for duplex and multi-family development, including rules for parking, building specifications, setbacks and lot coverage.
Council discussed who would be responsible when a driveway is paved over a utility easement and agreed to hold a public hearing at the Oct. 6 meeting to gather public input and make a formal determination.
Separately, John reported active code-enforcement and demolition activity. He said NSCSC completed demolition paperwork for a home at 54 E. North Street and that demolition is likely next week, weather permitting; another house on Locust Street is also slated for demolition next week. John and Plan Commission President Ben Cohoon capped gas and sewer lines at the North Street site. School Superintendent Chad Schnieders requested a cost estimate for the demolition and was told the cost would not exceed $1,500.
Council directed staff to place the driveway/utility-easement topic on the Oct. 6 agenda for a public hearing and to continue administrative follow-up on the demolition work.
