Brownsville schedules public hearing on Walhovd lot split; application must not call new parcel 'buildable'
Summary
Mayor Jean Meyer and the City Council set a public hearing for a requested lot split by resident Jerry Walhovd and directed the applicant to remove references that the newly created lot is "buildable." The council approved the hearing and will mail notice to affected landowners ahead of the Sept. 4 meeting.
Jerry Walhovd presented the council with a request to split his property along an east–west center line so he could build a new home on the proposed north half and demolish the existing beauty shop on the property. The council agreed to hold a public hearing on the request but required the application be revised so it does not describe the newly created lot as "buildable."
The hearing was approved after Tim Klug pointed out that the application as submitted included a statement claiming the new lot would be buildable despite there being no building permit request. Councilmember Barb Hurley moved to approve scheduling a public hearing with the change; Tim Klug seconded and the motion carried.
The council also directed that affected landowners receive mailed notice two weeks before the Sept. 4 council meeting so neighbors have opportunity to review and comment. No final decision on the lot split will be made until the public hearing takes place.
