Commission approves 0.09-acre lot split at 1017 N. Miami Street
Summary
The commission approved a requested split of a 0.09-acre parcel at 1017 North Miami Street so the house can be sold separately; the Board of Zoning Appeals had conditionally granted a reduced-lot-size variance prior to the commission's action.
The Wabash City Planning Commission approved a request to split a 0.09-acre parcel at 1017 North Miami Street to allow sale of the house separate from the rear commercial parcel.
The applicants, identified as Todd and Terry Adams for KLN Property Incorporated, requested the split to create a small residential lot to be sold off. Staff explained that the proposed resulting lot would be smaller than standard ordinance requirements but that the Board of Zoning Appeals had already granted a conditional variance in May allowing the reduced lot size, conditioned on commission approval of the division. Staff reviewed the usual considerations — utility availability, road access and stormwater drainage — and said the lot appears to have necessary services, making a formal full subdivision unnecessary.
Commissioners said they drive by the property and that, based on the record, the split made sense and did not appear to pose infrastructure concerns. A motion to approve the split was made, seconded and approved by roll call. The chair congratulated the applicants and noted staff would proceed with the administrative steps.
The approval allows recording of the split consistent with the conditional variance granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals; any building or permit activity on the new lot will remain subject to existing zoning and permitting rules.
